Sam, unbelievably, is about to turn 3. On Sunday, we will be having a family superhero birthday party to celebrate. Last night, between cleaning in preparation for my parents’ visit and grocery shopping, I made capes. The party has started a little early.

We have a lot going on as the school year winds down. Jack has graduated in Boy Scouts from being a Bobcat to being a Tiger Cub. We missed the ceremony due to a conflict, but he has received all his official pins and badges. (Meaning more sewing for me… unless Katey wants to come [...]
