When given the choice to participate in the neighborhood egg hunt or attend her friend’s birthday party at the American Girl Doll store/restaurant, I think we all know what Laina chose. I would say most of the time, Laina tends to be pretty casual and has a fairly “artsy” preference […]
A few weeks ago, the boys had PJ day at school. They both wore their favorite pjs and slippers and brought a special book along. E chose his Human Body book and A chose a Pete the Cat book. Elijah’s first comment at pick-up: “Mommy, it was so so cool..it […]

All of our kids have had a chance at some point along the way to have Auntie Vicky days–what lucky kids! She is one of those friends who just feels like part of our family. The kids love her and look forward to her visits, and Sam and I are […]
