Things I want to remember.
No matter how much I tried to convince myself that I would be just as good at writing things down with my 4th child as I was with my 1st, it hasn't happened. In fact, I currently am missing the calendar that I wrote down Seth's

Coming home to the "new house"
We officially moved in to our rental house on Saturday. It will take many weeks I am sure to unpack the piles of boxes that line the walls, but it is live-able at least. Each time now we head back home after errands or other short trips Will asks:

Seth’s 1 Year Check-up and Heart Updates.
In November, Seth turned one! Shortly after his birthday he decided that walking was something he wanted to do and within a few weeks he worked on it until he now walks all over the place. Every day he seems to get less wobbly and more steady. He is now

The Dastardly Duo/Trio.
I awoke from a dream-filled sleep this morning to the loud sounds of John's coffee grinder accompanied by the cries of Will. I headed up the stairs as Will headed down, obviously scared by the loud sound he had produced by pushing buttons he shouldn't
