Mmmmmm Pizza

Tried to take it somewhat easy this weekend.  Felt like the last month or so has been in hyper drive. No better way to relax and have some fun, then go out and make our own pizzas. It was fun and the pizza was tasty. Coincidentally Santa was there too. Which made it a little […]

Lu’s getting Glasses

We’ve all noticed that Lauren appears to have difficulty seeing some things.

New Windows

New windows (or at least just the sliding glass door) installed in a December snow squall? Sure. They showed up around 8am. And had it done by noon. It’s nice having windows without drafts. – b

Shopping for Groceries

One of the Trader Joe’s in our area has little kids carts. I posted this before, but I added the additional pictures to the gallery here. Not a whole lot, but very cute. – b

Love the Pink Wig

We have so many different pictures of the girls wearing this thing. This was Abigail doing her school Halloween songs for the parents. – b
