This week has been filled with preschool activities: a playdate at the playground where Laina got to meet some of her soon-to-be classmates, orientation, open house, and a BBQ this weekend. Phew. It’s been so nice to be able to do all of these things, but also fairly stressful since […]
The neighborhood crew got together two weekends ago for a potluck dinner, and Sam and I talked about how grateful we are to have these wonderful families in our lives. We’ve basically been raising our kids together since they were just a few months old, and the bond that is […]
“For a long time there were only your footprints & laughter in our dreams & even from such small things, we knew we could not wait to love you forever.” I came across this quote soon after Laina was born, and I glanced at it the other day (as it’s […]

So, she may have some more […]
According to Laina, we will soon be soon flying in an airplane to her friend Gianna’s house so they can play together and jump on Gianna’s moonbounce :). We had a going away gathering for our dear friends this weekend, and all of the “the girls” had a chance to […]
We’ve been enjoying the breaks in crazy heat/humidity the last week or so and have been trying to take advantage of the cooler weather. This weekend we spent some time planting herbs and indoor plants with Laina. She really gets into her little gardening role, and certainly has no qualms […]
