This year I have another story to tell pertaining to a new method of wrapping Joey came up with this year! For whatever reason each one of our children […]
In our house we started a tradition many years ago of opening our presents with our children on December 23rd. The Christmas holiday was so packed with this aunt’s house and that relative’s house and so much running around that I felt we weren’t getting the special fun time just with our children. Even […]

Jayden has been playing football for our local youth team for 5 years now. His first 3 were spent playing flag. Ava started cheering for the flag team this year, but we did question whether or not she should be playing football instead. 😉 Number one reason not to….we worried she would do too much […]
