Four Generations

It all started with an innocent little question: “Would you like to get together for a sisters weekend?” The next thing we knew the plans were made. My sisters and I were meeting in Las Vegas to hang out and visit with my dear 97 year old grandma and our aunt.  Well, where Laynie travels […]

Munchkin

This little munchkin arrived with her mommy on our doorstep on Sunday night.  Just like last time, we got to host her while Laynie went to her meeting in St. Louis.   Monday morning Laynie headed off bright and early.  It was a good thing, too, because we had a full agenda.

So, So Special!

The boys and I made a very fast trip out to Orange County this weekend to see Laynie and meet the newest member of our family, Sophia.  By fast, I mean we left Friday after school, got into OC at 10 PM, spent Saturday and Sunday morning with Laynie and Sophia and then boarded a […]
