Meeting Annie

Last weekend, we finally were able to meet Annie! Our good friends Kayla and Jay brought Annie into the world on November 18th, and she is absolutely precious. I got to hold her for the majority of the time we visited with them–and was reminded of all those adorable newborn […]

The girls

About once a month, Laina and I get together with two of my oldest and dearest friends (Katy and Nicole) and their girls. Our time together is always fun-filled as well as a bit chaotic. Having 5 little girls in one room is constant entertainment. Truly. It’s amazing if we […]

Evening rituals

One of my favorite parts of each day is after dinner. There’s always about an hour where the three of us are able to play together. Laina is always up for playing, but she seems to take it to another level during this part of the day. Maybe it’s because […]

If you want a good laugh….

watch this video of Laina “whistling.” Of course my heart melts or I laugh hysterically at pretty much all of the videos we have of Laina, but this one takes the cake. Just the other day, I was whistling one of the songs we sing in the music class, and […]

15 months???

Ha ha ha….

…is what Laina says when she sees Santa Claus. She has gotten very excited about all of the Santa figurines she has seen over the past few weeks. She quickly realized that one of her new favorite words is “Santa.” She also started saying cookie (cookoo) over the holiday. She […]

WOW!

The cutest thing happened the other day. I had gotten rid of a bunch of things from our bedroom closet, and I wanted to show off my awesome organizational skills to Sam ;). I know, they aren’t that awesome. So the three of us walked into the bedroom together, and […]

Samta

I have not laughed as hard as I did on Friday night in a loooong time! Sam volunteered to dress up as Santa for the neighborhood mom’s group holiday party this weekend. He tried on the outfit Friday night to ensure that it fit. Watching him walk around in this […]
