Jonny was feeling sick today, so Tiff let him pick the book to read before bed. His choice? “Daddy’s Special Moon Book” as he called it…

Never underestimate the silly side of the farce…

Are your parents or grandparents interested in rockets?

Ha! I like that one. I can’t really comment much on the rocket science (never speak in ignorance) but I can say with certainty– that is a cute kid and wife.
