If you follow us on Instagram, you’ll have seen a bit of our 12th anniversary story. But I wanted to give the whole story to you all. It all started with us getting up at 5:30 am to make sure the triplet kids that were born the Thursday before were fed. Their mama did not […]

Over the last many months, randomly Dave or I would look at each other and say something like, “This is something we should be blogging about,” and yet neither of us would pull the trigger.
