I *So* Don’t Do Bugs

So this morning I was in my bedroom, I had just taken a shower and dressed, and was brushing my hair. Jared calls through the door that there is a moth in the house.

Conversation of the Day

[The kids are on the speaker phone, talking to Daddy]
Amanda: “Daddy… You’re so cute!”
