Now that we’ve had our second kid, we're officially a family of four (well, five counting the dog), and it feels like it’s always been this way, as if our family is complete now with little guy, or Boo Boo as I’ve taken to calling him .

A Letter to my Daughter Before She Becomes a Big Sister
Dear Little Miss,Today at lunch, in between slurps of soup, you looked at me and said, “what you doing, mama?” I was looking at you, probably more intently than usual, and thinking about how much has changed in nearly the past three years (ever since you’ve been born)… and how things are about to change so much again.
