Can someone explain to me why I am more neurotic with the second kid than the first? Doesn't that defy normal logic? Both are (relativel...

I have to give Bjorn credit, he is definitely more of a half-glass full guy than a half-empty kind of guy. It's usually a good balance f...

Two days late, I wanted to give a shout-out to Bjorn for Father's day. I love that he loves his kids, all four of them. At each stage, h...

It's weird, with the fun stuff like Facebook and Twitter (which I now am using a lot for work, thank you very much), I find I'm neg...

Dollies. Having a boy first, we never really went through baby dolls. Andy has his dogs and never really showed much interest in dolls. Of c...

My folks were visiting this weekend so my dad could be honored with an award for his legal writing (go Dad!) so we went (well, I forced the...

I conned Andy into taking a nap yesterday. I knew he was tired and made him like next to me quietly in my bed. After about 15 minutes, he ac...

I have a baby board book called Baby Boo! (thanks Frances, I think it was a hand-me-down from you actually.) It's got like eight pages ...

My kids had one of those days yesterday. That alone isn't that notable, but they chose yesterday to both have a bad day. At the same tim...

Megan, Andy and Emma at the DCC last weekend. I know, they are totally beautiful.

Tonight Andy took the Neosporin and covered his naked body in it. "Look, Mommy. I'm all slippery." I should have taken a photo...

Andy and I are in Dallas at the moment. We came for a quick trip for a long weekend to visit leaving Bjorn and Meggie Meg at home. It's ...

Holy sh*t. I have a toddler on my hands. I mean that in the sense that I now have a small person who is no longer content to play happily wi...

I have vivid memories of the block parties growing up. We had a big block with lots of kids and it seemed the yearly block party was the hig...

I had a parent/teacher conference at Andy's school this week. I know, sort of ridiculous as he's FOUR. It was the second one he'...

We drove to Cape May, New Jersey, yesterday for a 20 hour visit to surprise our friend who turns 40 next month. It was so great to see them ...

It's warm and humid here, most likely in anticipation of rain again, so I've been trying to put Meg is some cooler clothes for night...

I bought a new laptop back in January probably, but in typical Bennett family fashion, I have yet to dismantle my old computer and was keepi...

Andy's new word is "awesome." He says it all the time right now, some of it when it's actually appropriate. It's adora...
