    What’s crazy is that I’ve been reading since diaryland…and you still entertain me for free. Nothing’s free anymore.

    (they’re too sweet…at all ages!)

    The picture of Little Riley and Baby Dylan on the couch just killed me completely dead.

    So cute…and I totally get it! Took my kids to a skate party the other day. My 10yo rolled up to me and looked down at me. AND I AM 5′8″!!! How do they grow so fast??

    *sob* Stop it. Just stop it right now.

  5. Donna on November 26th, 2012 7:10 pm

    I’ve been reading since before they were born, and what Danell said…..it’s too too fast!

    This makes me want to sob. I’ve been reading since Diaryland, too. God. I hate you, time. Your boys are spectacularly beautiful, Linda.

    Watching your boys grow has been a pleasure. I’m so glad that I clicked through to your page from 12% Beer so so long ago. I kinda want to be you when I grow up. And I’m older than you. I’m not sure how that works.

    Oh my. I’ve been reading (lurking, mostly) since you were pregnant with Riley, I think. Hard to believe that they grow so fast, although my own son is 10. Man. How does that happen, anyway?

    And that picture of them on the couch, 4 years ago? May very well be one of the most adorable things I’ve ever seen.

    Now I want to learn about this beloved “Diaryland”. This post is too sweet and those baby faces are priceless!

  10. Melanie on November 26th, 2012 11:21 pm

    Oh, that picture with Riley and Baby Dylan. Just. Slays. Me.

    I too have been reading since Diaryland. I have watched your beautiful boys grow up through your blog. Your family is awesome and I can’t believe Riley and Dylan have grown up so much in what seems like a short span of time. Congratulations on creating such a lovely family and helping your boys blossom into the little men they are today.

    Good golly, just look at that sweat pouring off those kids! That is AWESOME.

  13. JennyA on November 27th, 2012 8:43 am

    Holy shit. So they start college next week?

  14. dorrie on November 27th, 2012 9:28 am

    It’s the craziest thing in the world. I love how you are get that, though. ENJOY

  15. Melissa on November 27th, 2012 11:38 am

    OMG! Riley is all legs in that final photo.

  16. Dee on November 28th, 2012 4:01 am

    In one of those freaky “holy crap, what a coincidence” moments, I was flicking through my local paper today and you’re in it! With baby! The paper was the age, and this was in the corner of their website.

  17. Christen on November 28th, 2012 2:15 pm

    The picture of the two of them on the couch? Just made my ovaries explode.

  18. Shawna on November 28th, 2012 8:18 pm

    Okay, that’s it: next year my daughter’s training wheels are coming off! She will be SEVEN and IT’S TIME!

  19. Debs on December 18th, 2012 9:51 am

    Haha aww, I hadn’t read your website in ages and when you said “Riley and Dylan 2 weeks ago” I scrolled down and the first thing I saw was JB. My mind immediately thought “Wow, Riley HAS grown.”

  20. Rayne on December 19th, 2012 8:49 pm

    Wow – I used to read your blog daily before child number three and a full time job. I think the first time I read you were pregnant with Riley and stopped shortly after you started working from home. Crazy to see how the boys have grown. Glad to hear the happiness in your posts!

      space fault The Fault in Our Stars, by John Green I almost didn't want to read this because I knew it was going to be weepy. So, so, so, so glad I did. It broke my heart and packed it full. space theyreal Benefit's They're Real! mascara Totally updating my previous Blinc recommendation, because this mascara is the shit. Big crazylong lashes in one swoop. (Still: Blinc does go on better, and doesn't smear. It's just that Benefit's results are so much more dramatic.) space tana Broken Harbor, by Tana French I've read all her books and I'm pretty sure this is my favorite. Haunting and fast-paced and all sorts of messed up. space bigsexyhair Bix Sexy Hair I don't know if I actually get BIG SEXY HAIR when I use this, but I do get a noticeable difference in volume and manageability. Great for adding some oomph to your roots. space staydont BeneFit Stay Don't Stray This is, I guess, a sort of primer for concealer, and it's aMAAAAzing. When I use it with my undereye concealer, I have zero creases and much better coverage. Also, this wee mini size lasts for-flipping-ever. space tinybeautiful Tiny Beautiful Things, by Cheryl Strayed Hands down the best thing I've read in a long, long, long time. Maybe years. Maybe ever. space oribe Oribe Heat Styling Spray Fantastic product that you use before you curl/flatiron for supershiny hold. I have no idea how it works, but it goes on really really sticky -- like almost waxy -- and then the heat tool makes your hair feel soft.
