Disease and starvation reduced the Pilgrims’ number by a half. No Indian people came forward to assist them, and none could be found.

Jonah, Ronnie’s little brother, loves his father to death, not knowing why he left just knowing that he le...
Little Brother hit the ten-month mark this week and has really come into his own. He no longer is content with cruising along the couches. He has turned into a little daredevil. He has been pulling up on everything he can get his little hands gripped on but now he reminds us of a cliffhanger.

I just watched as a he realized he didn’t want to let go but at the same time couldn’t hang on much longer. He now cruises...
