{We’ve been in Colorado for a day, but I wrote this on the plane yesterday…} I’ve written before how to fly cross country with a toddler. I am by no means an expert, but have flown quite a bit with Jackson P.S. {Pre-Sidney}. I am 3 hours into our Southwest flight from Providence to Denver… Read Full Post

To the iPod. I’m afraid he is more a clone of me than I had thought. You see, I’ve struggled with addiction to technology my entire life.  When I was 8 years old, the hot gift at the time was a Nintendo. I clearly remember the day my Mom, Grandma and I went to Toys… Read Full Post

Dear Sidney, You turned 3 months old a few days ago, so I wanted to write you a letter and pray that it freezes time just a little bit by giving you a snap shot of what you were like at only 100 days old. We feel like you’ve been with our family forever while… Read Full Post
