On Monday, December 22, our Goddaughter was born! She weighed in at 7 lb and 12 oz. and is 20 3/4 inches long. Zoë Elizabeth is just the latest addition to this beautiful family.
Jack, Maria, Luke and Sam are so excited, you’d think she was their own sister! I guess this is as good [...]

I don’t know if she gets it from her dad, her gran or her great-grandmother. She certainly doesn’t get it from me.
It’s the art of “ripening.” Maria, who is the least shy little girl you’ll ever meet, brings out what shyness she has when putting on a new outfit. She wants to [...]

If you can believe it, it got worse.
I thought we were in the clear. We got off to gymnastics without a hitch. While Maria was working on her straddle jumps, the boys and I ran out for gas and went to Target to pick up a gift for cousin Joey’s first birthday.

The cat’s out of the bag. There’s a bun in the oven!
No. Not my oven. (Shocking, I know.)
The bun is in Troy’s oven. (I told you she was a girl). I couldn’t be happier for her and her family. This will be R baby #4.

Yesterday, my dear friend, Troy (remember – this is a girl, people) had a hair appointment, so I had her three boys over for a playdate.
They had a blast! I mean, there were the normal ups and downs of sibling and friend play. There were a few claimed “injuries,” and some tattletaling (mostly [...]
