1. For weeks I have been doubting our decision to keep Taryn in school over the summer. I worried we are pushing her too hard. I worried we are stealing her summer break from her. I worried it would be tiresome for the boys going back and forth so much to drop off / pick up.

Some have water spots, or are printed on regular old paper. But it’s what we have. I look at these and every one makes me smile. He was a sweet baby. A cute toddler and active, fun little kid. […]
