It is, however, a challenge at times to keep all four kids out of trouble while we wait in line to order our food…. [continue reading]
The Baby Monitor: Friend or Foe?
Night after night I had been getting little sleep. Jason Jr. was coughing so much in his sleep that he would wake up every little while crying.
