Weekend Activities, Self-Reflection, and Baby Hair Control

November 14, 2011

So I had a really good weekend. It was a perfect mix of productive and fun. I could have possibly used a bit more relaxing at home time, but you can’t win ’em all. I was so proud of all that I had accomplished on Saturday that I was bragging to David at the end of the day.

Good Things: October

November 2, 2011
