Mommy & Me: Special Time

March 26, 2012

Since Asher came six months ago, Jonah has needed some extra doses of special time with Mommy and Daddy. While he truly loves Asher, the process of becoming brothers has been hard.

June 2, 2011

Over Memorial Day weekend we took Jonah to his first “official” ballgame! We’re lucky to have a Minor League team in Chattanooga, which is great for summer fun!

An “Ordinary” Yard Sale Saturday…

September 5, 2010
