Hide and Seek (Laina style)

This is one of Laina’s favorite hiding spots—she always leaves her little feet hanging out of the pillows, and a lot of times she giggles or says something so we have a pretty easy time finding her :).    

I am grateful for….

days like these. When Laina and I decide to do something spontaneous, and it turns out to be one of those memorable moments that I will keep with me forever. We ended up being late for our usual Friday story time in Old Town, so instead we grabbed some bread […]

Finally…

We discovered something that Laina doesn’t like to eat! We made root vegetable soup the other night, and she was not a fan. This is certainly not a complaint by any means…but people are always asking us if there is anything she doesn’t eat. Now we have our answer!   […]

Ribbons Undone

One of my favorite Tori Amos songs that now takes on a whole new meaning. I heard it the other day and admittedly the eyes welled up… She’s a girlRising from a shellRunning to springIt is her time, it is her timeWatch her run with ribbons undone She’s a rose […]

Iron Chef Laina

I’m not sure where the time is going lately, but I realized I never wrote anything about our Halloween festivities! On Friday night, we went to the annual party at our neighborhood community center. The MOMS club Laina and I belong to has really expanded lately, as there were over […]

Ready, set, go!

We got to go to Grammy and Granddad’s house twice last week…both times in which we got to play in the leaves. Since we live in a condo, Laina hasn’t had the opportunity to jump into huge piles ‘o leaves yet this Fall. She loved it, and it was so […]
