This week, Annie’s wonderful physical therapist, DNA, lent us her reverse walker for us to try out. Annie LOVES it!

Three of the kids had coughs and fevers last week, but we had gotten tickets to Legoland and had a nonrefundable room, so we drove down to San Diego and hoped for the best. As it turned out, it was raining cats and dogs on Thursday, so the park was closed. We did a quick […]
Janie is so proud of being a big sister. I need to be better about capturing little scenes like this that happen all day, every day.
His Latin didn’t get done today, but how could I protest when it’s because he was reading to his baby sister?
