I really hate the expression “he made me the luckiest girl in the world”. This man, this birthday man of mine, this good man, he works hard at loving me. I work hard at loving him.

I forgot our toothbrushes. And a comb. Oh well, packing three kids for the night, and packing us for unknown Finish reading this post…
I am all excited to knit up this new pattern I got for baby cocoons and baby pods. They are so adorable for the newborn pictures I plan to take. Kevin barely glanced at the photos I was gaga over, and made some comment like, “Oh, like the baby will really stay in the cocoon Finish reading this post…
How I love this man…Just look how hard he works for us! And how I love his progeny… Just look at how well he breeds!Like father, like son.
