How the hell did that happen so quickly?? It doesn’t seem like a whole five years since I was holding you in my arms as a newborn baby, just a few weeks old. How can it be that it was really five years ago? Seriously? We’ve spent most of the summer counting down the days [...]

Dear Zack, This is your Mum talking. You know, the person who’s taken care of you since you were a single celled zygote in utero? The one who DIDN’T abandon you like your father did. The one who makes sure that you are fed, clean (well, as clean as you can get anyway, you dirty [...]

June 21, 2010 Life in General

I thought I’d try something, to give myself a little momentum with this lil old blog here. I’m going to attempt to write a post every Sunday that has snippets of things the boys have said and done throughout the week that I found amusing, annoying, or just too damn cute! So… here we go… [...]

Dear Zack

May 30, 2010 The Kids

I love you very very much, really I do, but you need to stop talking to me all! the! time! without! a moment’s! rest! Max needs you to stop waking him up at stupid-o’clock in the morning, cause he (and I!) would rather sleep till about 9am. You really don’t have to copy everything I [...]
