My Daughter has an unfortunate $1/day Sticker Habit. It affects everyone around her, as evidenced by this photo.

Before you condemn her, remember: It’s a disease. Not a choice.

I Saw My Son’s First Steps Today!

I’m home from work sick today. Yes, I’m really sick. But I’m sitting here on my couch and I watched my son take his first steps!
