I have another post in drafts form called Reflections. I started it the other morning around 6 am–it was dark, the house was quiet, tree is lit and still up though practically dripping needles at this point–and I began.

A new clean deodorant // I use the lavender scent, Steve uses coconut, they all smell light and

Signed into the old blog today (ETA: two weeks ago actually, when I began this blog post). Had to blow off about an inch worth of dust and the WordPress login page creaked upon me pressing enter like the sound effects in the first few seconds of Boris Pickett’s Monster Mash, but here we are.

I regret not writing down more of the funny things the boys have said over the years. In the notes app, typing it quickly before I forget, because they are so hilarious to come back to (and so easy to forget, even an hour later). We remember them, always, with an air of disbelief. Did

So do come on over and read it. Should you subscribe, you’ll be emailed every time there’s something new to read. Isn’t that nice? I’ll have a lot to say, I’m sure (and maybe I’ll get Steve writing too; he is a fantastic writer). We hope to keep you laughing–at us, with us, either one
