I have a headache.” He must have seen my quizzical look and understood that I was thinking, “Why does your headache prevent you from going to future baseball games?” He answered my thought,…

My greatest accomplishment, this month, is that I am mobile. No, I am not crawling. I am rolling and wriggling to my desired location. On Friday, my mommy put me on the floor in the living room and sat down to listen to my eldest brother read. I maneuvered myself to the other end of…

Two months after Catherine’s birth, I started tutoring for the Brock family. One day, I told Debbie and her children that I had cut Catherine’s nails for the first time. Debbie shared that sometimes it is easier to cut a child’s nails when he is sleeping. A few days ago, Patrick got a huge sliver…
