I’ve really turned into a bad blogger.  For those waiting with baited breath for an update…well, I apologize since you are probably blue in the face by now!  This is a week of big events in our house so I figured it was time to write a little something. Today was Emily’s first day of [...]

In the past several weeks, Emily has: outgrown almost all her clothes learned to ride her bike without training wheels gotten her first loose tooth (it’s been almost 2 weeks now and it is still hangin’ in there) learned to whistle gone on her first sleepover at a friend’s house How is it possible that [...]
