about us...

A gay couple in the suburbs north of Denver, beginning the parenthood journey... good thing we have a long list of resources, physical and virtual, to help us through it!

a bit closer

Tonight, we installed the cat door (with a flap) to the basement and put latches on some key cupboards and drawers in the kitchen. It looks like I do need to get bigger fire extinguishers and order a window well egress ladder (amazon.com has them for $40). And I have to move the booze up above the fridge (I'll move pitchers to the buffet table in the dining room).

So much, it feels like I'll never be quite ready. Thankfully, I have some great moms nearby to help me out and tell me what really needs to be done.

  1. Some of the stuff is ridiculous isn't it? For some reason we didn't have to worry about most of that stuff. Maybe it depends on the social worker.

  2. Could be. We're probably just fussing about a lot of it while we wait for news of what's coming. I still don't know how to deal with all of the things that are variable depending on the age(s) of kid(s) who come in. Thanks for the comment... I love your blog!
