The drive down from Michigan to Missouri went as well as could be expected. My dad met us in St Louis, where we dropped off our rental van and transferred all our stuff to his friends’ minivan. Then Janie cried unceasingly all the way to Columbia. It was kindof brutal at the end of a […]

Yesterday, both Leann and Katie were able to come over and hang out at my mom’s and meet Jane. The fascinator is a throwback to our photo shoot days. Tommy very proudly took this picture of Leann and me with all the girls. Only minor cropping needed.
Memorial Day With the Millers
Posted in Elizabeth, Friends, Susanna, Tommy on Jun 1st, 2013
Our second stop in Hillsdale was the Millers’ house. The kids and I hadn’t seen them since last Memorial Day weekend, but of course we picked right up where we left off. Evangeline and K2’s dress up clothes were so fun that my girls spent most of Monday wearing them. We had big plans to […]
Our first order of business in Hillsdale was to spend a few fun hours with the Coles. As soon as we got in the door, Tommy made a beeline for the bookshelf and did not get up again for two hours. We had barely sat down with Lee and Kelly before Elizabeth appeared in a […]
We took advantage of being in church clothes (notice the girls’ matching dresses?) to take a family picture before we left Detroit on Sunday.

I had a chance to get some more great Nona and Janie pictures. And some variations on a theme…Nona with all her great-grandkids… …Nona and the six of us… …and a four generations picture!…
Popsicles are the perfect treat at the end of a long, hot day.
In the past few days, Janie has become a completely new baby. Gone are the easy, sleepy days. Despite me being off of dairy and Mexican food for the past week and a half, she fusses all evening, has mucus-filled diapers, sleeps restlessly, and is generally going through that “delightful” 6-week colic stage. Fortunately, Laura […]
Carriers from Laura
Posted in Elizabeth, Friends, Janie, Susanna on Apr 30th, 2013
A bonus with having a babywearing expert come to visit is that you find yourself with new carriers! The girls were thrilled to wear their dolls and stuffed animals. I love, love, love my new Pikkolo. It has all the best attributes of our Bjorn and Ergo, plus a ton of thoughtful little things that […]
