Amy, ditching the pacifier was surprisingly easy. It took 2-3 days. We started with only at night/nap. Then we took it away for sleeping too.

our first home as a family (things i'll miss #3)
This afternoon I gathered a few red leaves from the backyard to press into a book while getting surprisingly sentimental. One week until the movers show up. My rational side is trying to convince my other half that it's just a house. But it's the longest we've been in one place, and it's where...

finding me
There's a lot to say about our three-week trip to the States, to the point that it's been a little overwhelming to start this post. I could go on and on about how adorable my 28-month-old nephew, Drew, and Sophie were together; how great it was to do nothing but enjoy being with my sister and h...
