Happy Birthday to Me: 39 Things that Happened This Year
Today is my 39th birthday. It also is the two year anniversary of when we adopted our twins. It’s a doubly special day around here! Normally I like to do a annual summary of the year around New Years, but as I’m behind on blogging, I decided my birthday was a good time to reflect…

Fortunately, our friends…

2011: A Year in Review
It’s a new year, and with that comes a good opportunity to reflect on the past one. While I don’t typically do New Year’s resolutions, I thought it’d be fun to reminisce a little bit and recap some of my life in 2011. Last year, we rang the New Year in down in Florida with…
