Today Cami turned 3 years old. Can you believe it?! Me neither. So, in honor of Cami’s big day, we took the day off of school and spent the day with her solely in mind. Of course, with all of Cami’s excitement for her birthday, she was up before anyone. When I realized I couldn’t [...]

Saturday marked the beginning of baseball season in our town. This is always done with a parade for all the teams where they end up at the ball fields for some speeches and then team pictures. Of course, that is the ideal way it is done. This is the third year our family has participated [...]

I will be honest – I do NOT like April Fool’s Day. I guess I just don’t have the right sense of humor. Growing up this was never a big ‘holiday’ at home either. My first real experience with April Fool’s Day was really my freshman year of college when my roommate, Brooke, pulled many [...]
