We watched our friend’s little girl, Nora, on Friday..and she happens to be in Elijah’s class. We haven’t had a ton of play dates for Elijah due to…well, the fact that we have 3 kids I guess! I made sure to snap a few because they were really sweet with […]

Since we were told we can’t take pics/video of the kids swimming, we only have a few from the first class. Laina is a little fish this year, and is super excited about putting her head under water! What an exciting thing to see! E is not so sure about […]
Last week, we had the first snow–at least that amounted to enough to go sledding in! The kids didn’t have school in the morning, so I figured we could get all bundled up and play in the snow for a while. Anyone that has kids knows that getting them ready […]
Our little “Tinny” or “Minnum” is 8 months old. We all continue to dote on him like it’s our job, and he continues to somehow make us more and more smitten with him. He is such a little teddy bear. He is definitely mobile at this point…and his primary means […]
Appetizers and hot cocoa. A “rehearsal” around the fire pit. 30+ kids all bundled up ready to showcase their voices. Parents in the holiday spirit despite the bitter cold weather. An hour of singing carols in our neighborhood. What a fun, heart warming experience.

This year, we decided we wanted to experience going to a Christmas tree farm and choosing our own tree. We drove out to a farm in Chantilly that had been recommended by a local mom. I’m glad we listened to her recommendation, because it definitely exceeded our expectations. Old school […]
Laina and I stumbled upon this little Santa outfit that we put E in when he was a baby….and of course Austin had to take his turn, too! Laina just had too much fun looking at Austin in this outfit. He’s a pretty squishy, jolly person…so he played the part […]
These four had a blast together. Laina and Elsa are the same age, and so are Elijah and Elias. I tried to keep my distance as the big sisters pretended their little bros were their babies :). I know the girls were loving it, but not so sure about the […]
It was priceless to see the level of excitement that both Laina and Elijah showed this year at our neighborhood tree lighting! Laina could barely contain herself, and Elijah was more curious about this whole Santa thing. When Santa arrived, Laina’s face brightened up instantly, and Elijah was just very […]
