(Not) Helping us Pick a Baby Name. Part 1.

February 16, 2010

Recently Jacqueline did a google search for “Biblical Baby Names” and we spent so long laughing at the sites that I’ve decided to make it a regular practice here on the blog to look at a list of biblical-but-not-practical names. Here’s this week’s [...]

Things We Have Nearly Said on Twitter

February 15, 2010

In case you aren’t following Jacq on twitter or facebook, we’ve got some exciting news on top of the already exciting news that we are moving to Holly Springs.  We’re pregnant! (a phrase I don’t fully understand why I have to say in the first person, being that I am by no means carrying a [...]

January 21, 2010

This actually happened.

October 7, 2009

Ben: I have no idea how to potty train. I wouldn’t even know where to start. Jacq: Me neither. Ben: I mean, I know how to house train a dog, so it’s probably pretty similar… Jacq: What, are you going to rub his face in it? Ben: (laughing) If it works…
