Day 1 – On our own
My mom and Terry and Jake (and canine, Zeke) left this morning.It was sad. Now we are all alone in our parenting duties. Overall, it went well. It’s definitely tiring. It’s midnight (or a few minutes past) and we’re just sitting around waiting for Isaac to awaken for another feeding, changing, burping, possibly another changing, […]

Flowers
Jake and my mom are gone. But, they left behind some beautiful landscaping (including this flower box in our front “yard”)… Back to a nice quiet life — for two weeks, and then school starts again. 13 days, to be exact. Not that I’m counting.
Cavalry Has Arrived
My Mom got here last night to get Jake. She’s staying until Monday morning, and at that time, will pack up the Boy Wonder and head back to NY and our life will resume as normal…
Like Riding a Bike
We bought Jake a bike (with money that my mom gave me) and after much frustration and anger, he is now able to ride a “two-wheeler”.
