While I fully admit to being utterly inept at knowing where we are and which direction is the best choice for getting un-lost, hubby thinks his navigational skills are top-notch. They’re not.

Although he’ll ask for them if he can’t find them (“Bwue An-gos?”), […]  On Halloween, I shared that I was nervous about the way in which people might react to Tucker not being able to say “Trick or treat!” Since that post, I’ve had a few inquires asking how he did.
