A melted heart, once again!

Sam and I both just adore when Laina shows her affection towards us. Often, she feels most affectionate around bedtime. Yesterday, she was so expressive when I was putting her down for her nap. I had just finished reading a couple books to her, and she asked to practice some […]

Shark week (or month)

Since Laina’s interest in sharks has been continuing to grow, we decided now would be an ideal time to take her to the Baltimore Aquarium. Now, she’s a pretty enthusiastic little person…but that enthusiasm was seriously heightened as soon as she stepped foot in the Aquarium. Watch out sharks! It […]

Lately

Lately, I’ve been jotting down some of the things Laina says to us as there are so many sweet, funny, or clever things she comes up with. I want to snuggle with you, Mommy That sneaky fox is always trying to swipe our stuff (Dora reference) Is he scary? He […]

Baby talk

Lazy days

Gotta love the days when a bunch of friends can get together and hang out on the porch while the kiddos play and have a picnic. We’ve been doing a lot of that lately since most of us are either preggers or have infants!!!      

Sameh turns 3!

One of Laina’s best pals had his third birthday party this weekend…it’s been so fun to watch them grow up together and develop their friendship over the past couple years…    

Fun with McKenzie and Addison

We always have fun with Spring, McKenzie and Addison. Laina and McKenzie played hide and seek, had a tea party, sang and danced together, and were just plain silly together. They also got to snuggle on the couch for a bit to watch Dora. Spring and I had a great […]

Gone Fishin’

This morning we met a few friends at Long Branch Nature Center, and spent our time hiking the trails, running around the playground, and most importantly–FISHING! Well, not really fishing…but you would have thought Laina and Ellie were actually catching fish the way they were pretending. They were getting really […]

Mommy/daughter dayz

I love when Laina and I get to have the day to ourselves. That may sound silly since I’m a SAHM and I see her every single day, but most days we spend with friends/family (which is great, too!) But I really do cherish the days that we don’t really […]
