Just in time for Valentine’s Day….Reese fell in love at the park. By the way, notice that Reese is wearing short sleeves at the park in February?? Unheard of!

Twizzler celebrated his 11th birthday on Monday. It’s unbelievable to me that he is so old. I’m guessing that the fact that my third child – and oldest BOY – is so close to middle school and (gasp!) puberty is a sure sign that I am indeed old, too. Since he wanted to be with [...]

I found the perfect gingerbread kit for my family this year – instead of one big gingerbread house, the kit included FIVE mini houses…one for each one of my kids. They loved having their own little houses to decorate (and I loved not having to listen to the kids fight over who got to do [...]

We’re done with soccer for now and on to SWIM TEAM. KitKat’s first official high school swim meet was this weekend. The meet started at 9:30, and she told me not to get there until 9:45. Of course, she swam both of her events in the first 10 minutes…. So I took pictures of her [...]

On Sunday, Lori (A Day in Motherhood) and Lauren (Midget Momma) and I (yes, Lori, Lauren, and Laura) took a side-trip over to the site of the World Trade Center in hopes of seeing the new memorial.
