I’ve been pretty good about doing monthly updates for Susie, but I feel like the big kids have developed a lot this summer, too. Since Tommy is exactly five and a half today, I’m doing a three-for-one update! Life in our home is very much how I always dreamed. Books, legos, and doll clothes are […]
This weekend, the kids suddenly rediscovered their dress-up basket, and silly times ensued! It wasn’t too long ago that Tommy fit into this and Elizabeth was Little Sal. How time flies!

They had a great celebration at the Reagan Library this morning! Betsy Ross taught us how to make perfect 5-pointed stars and told us about lots of different iterations of the American flag. Ben Franklin was the only Founding Father reenactor that the kids would get close enough to take a picture.
