for Grammy, that is. We got to spend much more time with Grammy this summer, and Laina was in heaven. On our last day with Grammy, we tried to make it extra special. We spent the morning in Shirlington playing with the fountains, reading at the library and listening to […]

Last week, Laina and I met our friends at Old Mine Ranch for the morning. It was so fun to watch Laina experience a few “firsts.” She had her first pony ride and got to feed farm animals for the first time. She also had her first hayride which she […]
A couple of regular nighttime rituals these days are hiding under blankets together, and doing ring around the rosie….both of which Laina gets pure enjoyment out of. Here are a couple cute pics:
from being two years old! At 22 months Laina is having more fun and being more expressive than ever. Sam and I are both in agreement that life just does not get any more fun than having a two-year-old (well, near two y.o.) We’d rather spend our time doing nothing […]

Laina goes through her checklist with me every time we go to the pool…which has been quite a bit this summer since the pool is conveniently right behind our house. It’s so fun to watch her play in the pool…at this point it seems like she prefers the baby pool, […]
I love cupcakes. Really, I do. As in I could eat a whole batch of them by myself in a couple days. In fact, Sam has witnessed me do just that. Sad, I know. There’s just something about having a personal little cake all to myself that nobody else […]
