I wrote this draft back at the end of April. I'm posting it now because I don't want to forget. * *. Ben is getting big and he's learning so much. I want to remember the ways that he's grown this year. This morning, he signed the alphabet to me - in order - on his own. Because he wanted to. To move them around in the frying pan.

What we did and when we did it. Sometimes. What we did and when we did it. Sometimes. People, places and events to remember. Thursday, April 24, 2014. Here's a piece of advice: don't ever ask me for advice on work/life balance. I don't know how to do it. I've been pulled in multiple directions lately, and the whole family is feeling it. Meanwhile, Evan and Corrie are both excited about the church Mother's Day musical. Just typing those words reminds me that we totally missed rehearsal tonight. The time) ...
