When Max was five months old I started feeling a little queasy. I couldn’t figure out why. Was I still catching up with all the adjustments of having a new baby? Was I not getting enough sleep with all the night-time feedings? Was I just plain sick and unable to kick it? I just felt…
We’re gone. But before I get to all the new stuff going on I have to finish up some stuff from home. After we went to the ranch, Dave headed back to work and to take Max to basketball camp:…while the girls and I headed up to another friend’s cabin. It was just two other…
