The husband is out of town and the kids are asleep so I'm getting caught up on gathering my 365 pictures for the month. And it hit me - it's MARCH. I didn't think we'd ever get here.

He'll be 2 this week (can you believe that??) and maybe - just maybe - I'm seeing the light at the end of the crazed baby stage. THERE IS HOPE.
