This One Is Also Pink

This One Is Also Pink

Our first child was a bit unusual in a few ways. For one, she slept through the night pretty much from day one. She also did her naps during the daytime.

How Alarming

How Alarming

When Mary and I started planning our wedding, we arranged to get married in a church in her town.
