Life With Boys

The mis-adventures of two crazy boys and their bleary eyed parents.


  • Have you been busy or something …

    Matt called to ask when I’m going to update my blog — I’ll let your figure out my response. Since I last posted we’ve spent a weekend in Indianapolis, finished a majority of the basement (Matt gets construction credit here), went to work, went to lessons, did at least 30 loads of laundry, did the… Continue reading
