A Milestone

By Hallie Clark -
I have stopped breastfeeding Mae as of three days ago, and although I know it's time to give it up, I'm SUPER sad about it. It was starting to drive me totally nuts. But today I feel like I'm really loosing something. It is something that you share with your babies that is so special. I know that breastfeeding is symbolizing Mae's babyhood....breastfeeding is coming to an end, and so is her babyhood. And so are the years of having tiny kids. Just like everything is seems with parenting...you loose something, you gain something, you regret something, you are happy about something.

When we came to the F's and discovered "Frankenstein" I followed that with another F word NOT in the book and we tossed the book. So, if you can suggest names better than Beelzebub Diltz or Frankenstein Diltz let us know. In addition to all of these requests we have one more. Many of you know Jonah is blessed with the coolest middle name ever, TIMETRAVELER, and the new little one deser
