My life in California with my husband Craig and our sons Henry, Eddie, and Charlie.

My husband Craig and I live in amazingly beautiful Northern California with our three boys. We adopted our first child, Henry, after almost 5 years of trying to get and stay pregnant — including 4 miscarriages. Two days before we adopted him, we found out I was pregnant with the embryo who would later be known as Eddie. Henry and Eddie are only 8 months apart! 2 years later I got pregnant with Charlie, and the rest is (very messy, smelly, and loud) history. Yes, it's true, we have 3 boys who are less than 3 years apart.

    I’m a big believer in letting kids look like what they want to look like. I only pick out their outfits when we’re going someplace fancy, and they get to choose what haircut they want. So when my older two boys wanted REALLY short hair, o...

    My day began running my 4 year old to the bathroom so he could throw up in the tub. Repeat throughout the day. I was just changing into my PJs and heard the 17 year old cat starting to vomit — I made him do it in his water bowl so I wouldn̵...

Great Read. Proud Mom. I totally can relate. The Martin Luther King drawing looks like him. Well, in another mom's eyes, it does! No kidding. :)

Hello!

My name is "Grammy" and I have been maintaining a blog for my 19 month old grandson, The Booga Wooga, since he turned 6 months old (June 2006). I have spent the last few months adding his blog to directories and social sites such and this one. I am now following-up with adding friends, joining neighborhoods/communities, etc.

I enjoyed reviewing your blog and would like to invite you to visit The Booga Wooga!

Hope to see you soon...

"Grammy"
