Ode to dirt: I’m so happy to see you gone, No, make that thrilled, overjoyed, elated. For you I was on my hands and knees, Oh, that horrid mess you created. We made the most when you were here, You provided entertainment for a tot, But you have now been buried, And your replacement is… Continue Reading
Man, Super Dad continues to outdo his super-ness like the super-hero he is. This week he has been putting in extra long hours at La casa de Soto to do all the preparation (which, let me tell you, involves A. LOT.) to be ready to pour concrete bright and early, Saturday. So many times I… Continue Reading
This little guy… in his quiet, unassuming way is quite the charming little fellow He shared & played impressively well for a two year old whose behavior was the furthest thing from “terrible” and 15 months his junior, I could tell Genevieve appreciated this very much in contrast to the bullying badgering pestering she experiences… Continue Reading

In honor of the October festivities, like the Harvest Carnival at the church that big sis is currently attending with Daddy and Bapa Frank, we decided to go a lil’ country-ish, y’all. Those eyebrows say it all. You have an incredible innocence about you. I know all children do to a point but yours is… Continue Reading
You know your single days are long gone when the highlight of your day is a trip to Costco for a family night out enjoying sweet, cheap thrills! Yep, no more splurging at fine dining restaurants. No more movies, dancing or long walks on the beach. Just holding sticky hands and running sneaking into burger… Continue Reading
Let me start by saying the double jogging stroller is sooooo much easier to push without the larger of my 2 children in tow. 40 pounds easier. But I’ll come back to that. Since today is Mimi’s special day with Spicy attending her HB classes (with I’m sure some extra fun outings and maybe some… Continue Reading
