A couple weeks ago, we had some really nice weather so the three of us took full advantage! Sam had recently gotten very excited about the idea of growing our own herbs (and I happened to love the idea, too!), so he had planted a few different herbs in small […]

Yep, monthies. This has been the month of Laina adding “ies” to quite a few of her words…and Sam and I really get a kick out of it. Sockies, sickies (she said this one a lot the last few weeks!), huggies, kissies, snackies, sneezies….there may be more but those are […]
We met the MOMS group the other day at a nature center and it was a big hit! Laina got to see some turtles, snakes, fish, frogs, etc. She especially took a liking to a little turtle there–she kept smiling at him and touching the aquarium saying “tickle tickle tickle” […]
I’ve been meaning to post this picture for a while now because it is just too cute. A few times during the week, Laina and I get together with our friends to play. This is separate from the MOMS club where we get together with a larger group of kids–so […]

Laina and I have been going to a music class (Music Together) since the beginning of December,and I was finally able to get a few pictures last week since my mom with went us. We have both really enjoyed the classes, and look forward to it every week! I appreciate […]
On Saturday, we drove to MD to celebrate Mckenzie’s 2nd birthday–she is the daughter of two close friends of mine from college. Spring was my roommate for a few years, and luckily we are still able to see each other every so often since we are only an hour apart. […]
I just can’t get enough. Really. I’m with Laina all day every day (for the most part), and I just can’t get enough of her cute little ways and funny personality. There’s really nowhere I’d rather be during the day than with her. She is continuing to change every day…saying […]
