    I can’t believe we are mid-way through August already.  Only 18 days until a little someone turns two and only 12 days until we start to get Chris back.  Time just speeds by, and there’s a million things that I’m trying to cram in before September, which is why I’ve been such a slacker about…

    Tuesday night is date night around here. ย As soon as Mr. T leaves, we change our clothes, do our hair, and make sure we’ve gone potty before heading out the door.

    It’s been quiet around here, because I was away on vacation with no internet access. I had intended to write posts and have them publish automatically while I was gone, but with everything else that needed to get done before I left, it just didn’t happen. I hope you didn’t miss me too much! We…
