Shhh! Levi is 3 today!
Levi turned 3 today, but, I’ve asked that that be kept a secret.  Jude makes me feel so guilty about having to work everyday and never getting any time off (as is standard for attorneys at a law firm) that I certainly would be made to feel so guilty about working on Levi’s birthday. Instead, we’ll tell Levi that …

Tonight the 3 boys got a bath after swimming lesson. Being nice and clean inspired Jude to write the first verse of a song that goes like this: “The cleanest kid in town…[CLAP, CLAP]…will definitely not be brown.” After Jude sang his new song for me, he asked for a drink of water, which inspired …
