Potty Training in a DAY?!

Technically, the book was Toilet Training in LESS than a Day.
But I’m not that good.

The Rest Of The Reception (Flower Girl) Pictures

Levi was not happy. It was not Stephanie’s fault. It may be the fancy-schmancy button-up shirt’s fault.

Olivia, gettin’ her groove-thang on.

She danced with just about every bridesmaid, I do believe.

Fast forward to 2003. [...]

In Case You Were Wondering What I Was Doing With My Time…

Levi was born 9lb 2.4oz.
Forty-eight hours later, he was down to 8lb, 11oz.
Five days later, he was up to 9lb 3.8 oz.
Six days after that (today) he weighed in at 10lb 7oz.
So yeah. I’ve been nursing. Nursing right now, as a matter of fact.
Any other NAK (Nursing At Keyboard) [...]
