Our cal-de-sac has traditionally been active on the 4th at night, this year was no exception. If anything, more families were celebrating. The displays were fun and some were surprising... I actually think Ethan got a little more … [Read more...]

Today’s theme was B&W I snapped this of the two kids playing outside yesterday. They were so happy to finally get outside without a blast oven smacking them in the face.

The first is of Emma at the beginning of January... before we grew her bangs out. … [Read more...]
