May 5, 2010 The Good Word

Sometimes when trials come my way, it would be my preference to go around them, rather than through them.

The Bear tried on Dad’s slippers the other day. It was of course adorable enough for a picture or eight. We’re first time parents… Everything is adorable enough for eight pictures and some video footage! I was thinking about how likely he was to fall over if he decided to try to walk, but he [...]
