"Let's Teach Max to Dance, Daddy!"

Inspired by her ballerina jammies, Ainsley decided to teach Max to dance. We aren't entirely sure that he enjoyed the experience.

Did I Really Start a Blog?

Yes, I did.

I am even more shocked then you are.

Pretty much it comes down to two things:

1) I can stop calling the 3 to 7 people a day I normally do, repeating the ridiculous, yet hilarious, things Ainsley said to me.

2) specific relatives (you, Mom) will stop asking me to e-mail new pictures (actually, mom, you have been a lot better lately).

The blog is called "3 Going on 13" because each & every day, I get to raise an almost 3-year old named Ainsley who acts more like a teenager. She calls me "Mom," frequently yells "I am NOT speaking to you!", & can burst into tears at the drop of a hat.

Just because we like a challenge, we have a 9-month old baby named Max who can do no wrong. I'm sure Ainsley will be in therapy for that very reason some day.

So while I feel kind of like the nerdy-mom version of Doogie Howser (Google it, Mom), writing about my life, I hope you enjoy the pictures & the funny stories. Share it with your friends! If enough people follow it then maybe someone will want to make a book out of it a la "Julie & Julia" & I can put that U of A journalism degree to work.

p.s. Don't feel bad for my mom. She loves getting a shout out on the first blog post.
