I think it's safe to say that Miles enjoys Christmas. With gift exchanges at both Jaclyn's dad's house and my parents' home, he had plenty of time to get accustomed to being showered with gifts.

From our family to yours, warmest holiday wishes!

Miles's face lit up as he saw the kids of various ages running around and playing with … Continue reading Year 2, Day 292
Year 2, Day 291
One of the most noticeable ways this Christmas season is already very different from the last is Miles's awareness of certain staples and figureheads.

He also recognizes "Fosse"... ...and the fat man himself, "Sassy"... ...we're … Continue reading Year 2, Day 291
