Performance at the Baha’i Center

Last weekend, we headed out to the Baha’i Center in Sterling with our friends to see an amazing performance by Kevin Locke. He is a Native American known throughout the world for his incredible hoop dancing. He is also a traditional storyteller and plays the flute. He believes in the […]

Abbyjack

When I was pregnant, we sometimes called our little peanut growing inside of me “Abbyjack.” We did this because we didn’t find out if we were having a boy or a girl, and our top names were Abby and Jack at that point. We ultimately held on to Abigail for […]

Music Together

Laina and I have been going to a music class (Music Together) since the beginning of December,and I was finally able to get a few pictures last week since my mom with went us. We have both really enjoyed the classes, and look forward to it every week! I appreciate […]

Happy Birthday McKenzie!

On Saturday, we drove to MD to celebrate Mckenzie’s 2nd birthday–she is the daughter of two close friends of mine from college. Spring was my roommate for a few years, and luckily we are still able to see each other every so often since we are only an hour apart. […]

16 months

I just can’t get enough. Really. I’m with Laina all day every day (for the most part), and I just can’t get enough of her cute little ways and funny personality. There’s really nowhere I’d rather be during the day than with her. She is continuing to change every day…saying […]

Sweet Joplin

Aside from the face plant within the first 5 minutes due to the tremendous amount of layers that her mommy dressed her in, Laina loved her first time playing in the snow. Her “real” first time in the snow was last year, but she was only a couple months old […]

Mister Don

On Monday, Laina and I headed over to St. Elmo’s, a coffee house in Del Ray that Sam and I LOVE, because a children’s musician was performing. I wasn’t sure what to expect and we thought about not going because it was so cold, but I am so glad we […]

Where is my buddy Hex??

We drove up to PA on Saturday morning to spend time with Bill, Alicia, Pat, and Julia (and of course, Hex!) To give you an idea of just how spoiled we were, within an hour of arriving, we were served homemade pizza and homemade butternut squash soup for lunch. Yes, […]

Two tiny socks

The other night as I was brushing my teeth just before heading to bed, I looked down and saw a pair of Laina’s socks on the floor outside of the bathtub (because Sam let her put her feet under the faucet as he fill up the bathtub =). It was […]
