Lydia and Her Living Toys

Lydia and Her Living Toys

Apparently Lyd’s Kindergarten Classmates have been very good students lately, good enough where they were given a couple of treats for today.

Me, So Far, a Brief Synopsis

Me, So Far, a Brief Synopsis

Hi, my name is Brooks and I’m a Stay At Home Dad. This is a choice my wife (Annie) and I made together. Can I get a full-time job? Yes I can. I am by trade a Stagehand. This means that my work schedule is really not a schedule at all. Work can be spotty, sometimes it feels like a tsunami, other times it feels like the Sahara. I have incredible flexibility in that I can turn down gigs. So,…
