Earlier in the week, Justin and I went to Gullion Farms with Kyndall's third grade class. She insisted we both go because Libby got us both on her field trip, and this was only fair :)There were big slide races--Kyndall won every time. She used her hands to push herself down faster, which was ...
Week In The Life: Friday Words + Photos

Just A Few Things for Monday

How about that photo bomber in the back? Hey Pops :)I've been walking around with my hand under my belly a lot lately. It helps with the pull from pregnancy, but mostly it's just habit. Libby will randomly walk up and put her hands under my belly, saying "I'll hold him for a ...
SCHOOL is BACK!
In between soccer and cheerleading, school has started back. As usual, our school had Open House night, where kids and parents both come to meet the teacher. The girls love it, mostly because they get to see the friends they haven't seen all summer. (They love their teachers too, ...
