We’re back from an amazing extended weekend of much-needed holidays and, while that means a week of playing catch-up lies ahead, there is so much to be thankful for. Healthy, happy kids who love me and each other. A baby who has figured out how to turn head down and is now growing well and […]
Making an Entrance!
It’s hot here. Not just a little bit hot, but a lot hot. So hot that I let little B drink out of any and everything she finds, and I don’t even tell her to sit like a lady while she does it :). But really, who can say no to this face? It’s the […]

As many […]
