House Fires & Consequences

Snip Snip: After The Vasectomy
I’m sure you guys are getting sick of the vasectomy posting at the moment, but it’s probably the biggest thing going on in my life right now. Well, today was mostly a lot of sitting around the ward waiting for … Continue reading

Too Young To Fall In Love
Here’s a conversation I didn’t think I’d be having with my four-year-old daughter. At least not within the next two decades. We were sitting in the kitchen this evening and Ray sauntered down from her room with a box of … Continue reading
Happy Valentine's Day Mrs Levee!
