20 Months, Delayed Post

i wrote this 3 days ago and forgot to freaking post it. fail. it feels like caylin isn’t even a toddler anymore. she’s freaking 3 feet tall, and insane. there is a tiny human ruling our house these days, and it’s awesome and exhausting and terrifying and…

Breakthroughs

last week and this week, caylin has learned to entertain herself (when she’s wide awake and not hungry, at least). i don’t know what happened. it felt almost like it was overnight. put her in her bouncer, and bam. she goes to town. put her in the jumper,…

Weekends Are For

sleeping in. spending the afternoon tanning in the sun in the bed of my truck. country music blaring from the garage. brett next to me. cold beers in our hands. cold cut sandwiches, pineapple, and afternoon movies. followed by an afternoon nap. steak dinners on the couch. followed by fresh…

I Wish I Were Better At This

i don’t know why i can never convince myself to blog sometimes (on the other hand, sometimes i do it too much). i am one of the most nostalgic people i know. i take pictures of the dumbest things, food included, just to remember everything about certain events. i…
