Worthwhile Trade

The sunsets out of my living room windows make it worth the fact that our kitchen hasn't been remodeled since the 70s and our shower water doesn't get hot. #Guam

This. This Moment Right Here.

Charleston Blizzard of 2016

Dog Diabetes

Paolo had a procedure done yesterday called grid keratotomy in attempt to save his eye. He's wearing a contact lens now (Seriously, I can't make this shit up!) and resting peacefully on pain killers while his body heals. 

Currier's 4th Grade

Foster Puppies

Santa 2015

We took the kids to see Santa this evening although neither of them believe in him anymore. Currier asked for Xbox One Skate 3 and Lego Dimensions (especially cyborg) video games and The Golden Dragon Ninjago Lego set. Rya asked for a camera and an American Girl Doll bed, clothes and glasses.

Pinterest Fail

Pinterest Fail! I sent Trent to the store to get balloons to surprise Rya with a balloon avalanche tomorrow morning for her 7th birthday and he came back with these tiny friggin' water balloons. It took us a Walking Dead episode and an Anthony Bourdain episode to blow all these up and it didn't even reach her doorknob. Insane bullshit we do for our kids!

First Day of School

First day of 4th and 1st grade!

Isn't She Lovely

Peach Picking

The kids and I went peach picking this afternoon. A first for all three of us. Now we're trying to decide what to do with all these peaches?

Paolo

How did I get so lucky to be this dog's human?

Dear Nine-Year-Old Currier,
