After we’ve unpacked and picked out our rooms, the next thing I do is go outside to check out the pool. It’s what I’ve been looking forward to the most. Dub comes out to join me as I sit on the side, allowing my feet to dangle in the crystal clear waters. Wade: I like…
We arrive at the Banks Art Center about an hour later. We enter the place together, and I stand there awed at how ma has transformed our old home. Dub doesn’t waste any time in finding something creative to do. So Me-Me, Mase, and I decide to give ourselves a tour. We go upstairs to…
It’s Mason’s birthday. So when I wake up to change him early in the morning, I figure it’s an excellent time to help him age up (with the Inquisitive aspiration). It’s hard to believe that our baby is already a toddler. Without bothering to wake Me-Me, I give him a quick early morning snack and…
I end the party with a big smile on my face. There is nothing like being around the family to make me feel complete. As I start grabbing dirty dishes, I say goodbye to everyone I pass as they walk out the door. Brianna: Thanks for inviting me to Dub’s party. Kai: You’re very welcome….
It’s Dub’s birthday. So Me-Me wakes up early to dress him and Mason while ma prepares cakes and pies for Dub’s birthday party.

I’m in the middle of trying to complete another endurance challenge when the buzzing from the broken windmills behind me distracts me and practically makes…
Amid all the chaos of welcoming little Mase while trying to reassure Dub that everything is okay, ma gets up and decides to remove Dub from the situation altogether. Prosperity: Come with Granny, Wade. Let’s get you something to eat. I appreciate ma for being the only one thinking clearly enough to recognize that Dub…
I wake up confused and dazed when I hear Me-Me groaning early in the morning. It takes me a minute to realize what’s happening. The baby is coming! I hurry over and pull her into my arms. Kai: Are you okay? Is it time to push? Melisa: Not yet. My contractions are still too far…
Peri has been struggling to pull herself out of the dumps. Kimmie has completed the work on converting her old house into a community art center, but not even coming to see it for the first time is enough to shake the blues. This multipurpose space will be where Peri comes to teach art classes…
Dub wakes and climbs out of his bed. He knows his mommy and daddy’s room is only steps away, but they are not who he wants right now. He wants the nice lady who sings to him and gives him sweet treats before bed. So he crawls slowly down the stairs and opens the door…
