storyteller and all-around creative distraction
Five days! That is how long Dylan was healthy, and now he has another cold. Snotty nose, cough, sore throat I’m guessing since he wakes up and cries every time he coughs. And next comes the ear infection. I already know it. This is one …
The holiday card picture project is turning out to be a huge disaster, and I’m quickly running out of time. This is definitely a two-person job. One person to take the picture, and another to keep Dylan from eating the Christmas tree. Trouble is, my …
