This girl. She is just full of surprises. Last Friday, Laina’s Spanish teacher approached me at pick-up and asked permission to take Laina to lunch during the school week. Apparently, Laina wrote her a letter (in Spanish) indicating that she would really love to go to dinner sometime with Sra. […]

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 […]
