On the night before Little Man's birth in August 2008, I started this written and photographic history of his life, a modern baby book, if you will. In July 2011 I was blessed with another son. Hopefully, this record will help the memories squashed by "Mama Mushbrain" live on forever.

Snow day play
How to get your kids prepared for playing in the snow (in minutes):
0:00-3:20 locate appropriate under clothing
3:20-4:30 change diaper of little one; ask older one to go potty
4:30-5:00 insist that older one potty while dressing little one
5:00-6:00 physically take older one to bathroom despite his protests that "he doesn't have to" and watch him pee for 30 seconds
6:00-7:00 washing hands (kid is obsessively thorough)
7:00-8:00 snow pants, warm socks, sweatsuit on yourself
8:00-9:50 snow pants and boots on older one
9:50-10:50 find where little one escaped to
10:50-11:50 snowsuit onto little one
11:50-11:54 realize you have no idea where all the gloves are
11:55-13:00 locate gloves
13:00-13:15 put gloves on older one
13:16-13:59 find little one again (you knew; where to look this time)
14:00-15:40 attempt to put gloves on one year old; multiple attempts
15:40- 15:45 desperately want a drink; realize you have to go the bathroom; decide against
15:45-16:00 older one thinks "watching a TV show" might be more fun; subdue desire to curse
16:00-17:00 put hats on everyone
17:00-17:10 take a quick picture
17:11 go outside
for about 5 minutes....before someone is crying
Little turkeys. Drive me crazy but I love 'em.
