I’ve said it before…I gave birth to a pirate five and a half years ago. Or maybe he was a pirate in a past life. Who knows. But Henry is OBSESSED.Captain Henry and First Mate Ervin Every single day, he wants to draw pirate ships or treasure maps or pirates or […]
Ervin turned one month old yesterday. WHAT?! How did a month fly by without me noticing? Yes, the days have been looonnng, but the month? SHORT.Since yes, this is *most likely* the last baby, I want to remember EVERYTHING. But I’m sleep-deprived (has anybody noticed? yeah, a little bit?). I […]

So…Ervin is three weeks and two days old now, and we’ve been to the doctor six times to get him weighed since we got home from the hospital. At only two of those appointments, he had actually gained weight. SIGH. Out of the four children, he’s been the easiest to […]
