Because Skateboards
Caleb tried something out on his skateboard. Awesome is worth the risk. His brothers all think he’s ‘a real man now.’ Sheesh! Life with four boys! No, it’s not broken. It is sprained pretty bad, and the bruising is around his growth plate, so the doctor wanted him in a splint out of precaution. He…

Biscuit’s getting big!
So, when we originally got a bearded dragon lizard, it was because Heather wanted one for years and I finally caved. Now I’m a total beardie junkie. They are very, very cool … and a lot of fun! Biscuit is a little over four months old and is just over 13 inches long already. The…
