Frequently Asked Questions
Q1: So, is he sleeping through the night yet? A1: Actually, about 5 months ago this was a hot question. Now, I don’t hear it as often, probably because everyone assumes the answer is yes. Well, the answer is NO. Jude has never (I repeat, NEVER) slept through the night. He still gets up at …
Bahamas and Back
Last Friday, Andy, Jude and I, along with my mom and Andy’s mom went on a short cruise in the Bahamas. Jude traveled great.

Andy is 30!
Yesterday was Andy’s 30th birthday. We celebrated on Sunday. We went to church and then Andy’s family came over. Andy’s brother and dad helped Andy rake the leaves (which is a fairly simple process considering that Andy’s parents have a lawn tractor that does most of the work). My mom also came over. We ate …
