So many blogs are dead or dying, and, clearly, I get it.

But why are they killing Google Reader? How will I ever remember where all the blogs are that I read? It makes me sad.

Molly's 2 weeks weaned, but still asking for it every day.

And, we just saw our last first pee-pee in the potty. I'll tell you, the peeing in the potty makes me feel kind of verklempt.

I loved our church. And then the youth pastor left like the week Molly was born. Our lives have changed so much that it's hard to tell whether he's the chicken or the egg, but I do not like our current youth pastor. At all.
