Aside from the face plant within the first 5 minutes due to the tremendous amount of layers that her mommy dressed her in, Laina loved her first time playing in the snow. Her “real” first time in the snow was last year, but she was only a couple months old […]

On Monday, Laina and I headed over to St. Elmo’s, a coffee house in Del Ray that Sam and I LOVE, because a children’s musician was performing. I wasn’t sure what to expect and we thought about not going because it was so cold, but I am so glad we […]
We drove up to PA on Saturday morning to spend time with Bill, Alicia, Pat, and Julia (and of course, Hex!) To give you an idea of just how spoiled we were, within an hour of arriving, we were served homemade pizza and homemade butternut squash soup for lunch. Yes, […]

So Laina is quite the little musician as we’ve said before. She loves exploring all kinds of instruments and singing. From singing along to her own piano playing to walking around playing the recorder, its definitely fun to watch her learn and have so much fun with music! Well just […]
Each month that goes by, I think I become increasingly more in a state of denial that Laina is growing up so fast. Every time I look at “baby” pictures of her, I remember the many days of her sleeping on us, snuggling with us whenever we wanted to, […]
