Recently, Laina has enjoyed playing hair stylist (and I am her lucky customer!) Tonight, as she was giving me 4 ponytails and placing every single one of her clips in my hair, she started talking about what she wanted to be when she grows up. “Hmmmm…I guess I could be […]
Although the boys didn’t get to be a part of the White House adventure, they had their own fun with our neighborhood gang. We kept with tradition and met up with everyone beforehand for snacks, drinks, and playtime…then all headed out together. Elijah was in his element and loved every […]

Laina started playing on her first soccer team a few weeks ago. Games are on Saturdays, and most of the time we all go to the games (though we sometimes have a hard time getting everyone out the door for the 8:00 games!) Luckily, most of them aren’t until 9:30 […]
”” We had Nana’s big celebration on 10/12, and the main gift to her was a book full of photos spanning across her lifetime, her diploma, wedding pictures, newspaper clippings, quotes, and memories that everyone in our family wrote down for her. My mom and aunt did an awesome job […]
