We had an awesome visit from Sara and Charlie (from NYC) and Paul and Shannon (and Baby M) from Oakland. They stayed a few nights. Games, good food, and good conversation, plus some antique shopping!

OK, I think I scored a few mom points with this one. The boys were totally looking forward to seeing “Avengers: Endgame”. Alex said we needed to see it on opening night so he would not have to worry about online spoilers. When I went to book the tickets, the only ones I could get […]

Paul and Shannon bought the boys this game for Christmas. We had a blast playing it in the living room. We would film it falling in slow motion.

Our beautiful niece ‘M’ came to visit from Oakland. I can’t get enough of her. She is so squish able!
