Bath Toys and Uber too
It’s great to have Elisabeth back from college for the Holidays. Timothy has loved having both sisters in the house. Timothy had a fun Christmas, and received his fair share of gifts and accolades. He also enjoyed … Continue reading

Online dodgeball
Laura got up with Timothy a few times last night. He’s got a red, runny nose and is enduring a summer cold, allergies or possibly teething (we’re casting a wide net on this diagnosis). When he started making noise at … Continue reading
Paging Dr TRBL
We would not be surprised if Timothy eventually becomes a thoracic surgeon or ear nose and throat doctor. This boy has such a keen sense of the anatomy of the neck and throat. If you’re holding him and he’s feeling … Continue reading
