The beginning of June is always busy with the end of school and packing the bags for the summer. I always think how it would be nice to just have the end of school year craziness without adding the packing. You would think after 8 years of this, I would be a better packer!! […]

Eleri has outgrown her bike, but we know that it is best to master the two-wheels with a smaller bike. We learned this from our mistake with Emersyn. We had bought her a bigger bike before she learned how to ride two-wheels. The hardest part of learning to ride two-wheels is the start which […]

Emersyn’s school, Concordia, has fun dress days and today was Hat Day. We bought these silly hats in Thailand when we were there over Christmas. It was a late night when we were walking back to the hotel and I saw these silly hats being sold on the street. I knew it would be […] |
