Apparently the Bassmaster Classic (the Olympics for fishing) is better than cartoons at our house. DVR’d episodes of shark week and Bassmasters = content boys. It would not surprise me if Jacob became a full-time angler.

This is my second time here today. The first time was with Samuel and I was #6 in line. That lasted all of 2.34 minutes. So I hosted my visiting teachers, fed Sam, put him down for a nap, and now I’m back (Derek is working at home). Hoping to get some relief for what…
