Year 5, Day 313

Another month, another cold running rampant through the Martin household. While Jaclyn and Miles enjoyed the effects of whatever this thing is last week, it's my turn now, and I woke up this morning with a fever for the second day. Needless to say, Miles's attempts to join us in bed around 5:00 this morning … Continue reading Year 5, Day 313 →

Year 2, Day 211

Miles had an exceedingly restless night, and although there are a number of factors that can currently contribute to this, it wasn't far into the day before I found out the real culprit.

The driving has been treacherous to say the least, but it … Continue reading Day 276: Baby’s First Snow! →

Day 232

The past couple of days have seen Miles develop his first real cold. Characterized by perpetual runny nose and increased fussiness (symptoms that, come to think of it, don't differ all too much from his father's), the cold was in full swing yesterday and today. Fortunately, he's still been sleeping relatively well. Unfortunately (for Miles, … Continue reading Day 232 →
