Emma is our crafty one. She is very creative and comes up with great ideas to create. Me? I’m more a creative thought person. I have to think about things for a really long time and try to think of what the end result will look like (which is very hard for me). The perfectionist [...]

Unlike the trip out to Illinois, we didn’t have time to extend our drive too much on the way back. We left Friday afternoon and stayed the night in Cincinnati, OH. Yes, for all you geography experts, we took a little detour south. But, we had a good reason! We had a breakfast date with [...]

We had a great visit with my family. Everyone was there this year. All my sisters, my brother, and their respective spouses and children.

Every little milestone Cami makes I feel like we say goodbye to the stage before it forever. Maybe this is how it is with your last child (yes, we believe she may be our last). It’s a sad feeling mixed with the excitement for the new stage she is entering. Although, today it wasn’t very [...]

Last night we took Emma to The Lion King as we had given her tickets for her birthday. We were so grateful for some friends who watched the other three kids so we could have this experience with her. We took advantage of the opportunity and did a ‘dinner and a show’. We ate in [...]

We had a good Halloween this year. We took advantage of being close to Hoboken, NJ for the third straight year as we attended their Ragamuffins Parade. I love that they do this in the afternoon and the kids can trick-or-treat at all the shops along the way as well as in some of the [...]
