It’s kind of scaring me how quickly Ethan is growing and changing. He’s just over 14 months old now, and  in the past week alone he’s gotten up to all sorts of shenanigans, including: Falling in love with the dog’s bed. Kelly bought a big basket in Ikea to put the dog’

“Backstreet Boys, you know?” My 12-year old cousin Kourtney looked at my sister, Kelly, and me blankly. “Everybody…. Rock your body...” we crooned in unison. Still, a blank, bemused stare. And then it hit us. We’re officially getting old. Other than that realisati
