Jackson turned 8 last Friday! It seems impossible, but it’s true. He wanted a Minecraft birthday party at the gym at which the kids take swimming lessons.

A few people have actually asked me why I haven’t posted pictures from Cassie’s Doc McStuffins birthday party. This post is for those people, especially Kirstin.

Happy New Year! I know, it’s about time, right? The holidays were busy busy busy, and we all got sick, and now we’re back in add-on mode. We were supposed to go to an adults-only party this New Year’s Eve, but our neighbor and baby-sitter got sick. It was probably our fault too. So, we … Continue reading
Jack’s soccer party was this afternoon. He got his very first trophy! There’s really not all that much to say… One of the coaches, Patrick, is also a good friend of ours.
