Can you guess what this is? It’s a baggie of hair that was taped to Jamie’s cubby when John picked him up from school yesterday. Yes, that is right, HAIR. Apparently they were practicing using scissors and he decided to see what it was like to cut hair. We are just thankful he cut his [...]

Whew. I am tired from this weekend. I feel like I didn’t sit down the whole 2 days! Friday night was spent getting ready for our garage sale on Saturday morning. Our neighborhood was having a community sale and Kate and I had so much stuff we wanted to sell. Kate was late coming over [...]

So yeah. I’ve written a lot about Jamie already, but not too much about Lauren. The fact of the matter is that Lauren suffers from middle child syndrome and she doesn’t even have a younger sibling!

Turns out my mommy-jitters were for naught yesterday. James did GREAT at his new school! He was very excited to go to school when he woke up but was a little nervous when he arrived at school. Because John and I both need to get to work before 9 (school starts at 9), James is [...]

Like we do every year, we spent this past Labor Day weekend at the cabin visiting Nina and Pap-Pap. Pap-Pap had wanted to spend a few days alone with Jamie before school started so I drove him up to the Cabin after his school orientation and then John, Lauren and I came up on Saturday [...]
