For the most part, I love that my husband is a big kid at heart.  I admit that there are days that it drives me crazy, but overall, it’s a good thing.  That being said, it can lead to some pretty crazy play around our house. Today, Daddy and Munchkin build a catapult (from a kit that we’re reviewing).  Once it was assembled, the crazy play began.  Hmm… I wonder how far this will fly?  What do you think this will do?  Finally, I had to tell Munchkin that certain objects needed to be taken into an area where nothing…

And Then There Were Two

Posted in Family, and Photography

We knew the time would come when we would need to seek new homes for our girls (guinea pigs).  We wanted to wait until they were old enough to comfortably be away from their mom if that is what the new adoptive situation necessitated.  Unfortunately, knowing the time will come doesn’t make it any easier when the day actually arrives.
