Ben was in Chicago for a few days and the kids were so incredibly happy to have him back (as was I). We all miss him when he’s gone! The kids had a “snow day” on Friday (the snow didn’t even come until 3:00…so they totally could’ve gone all day🙄). Since there wasn’t any snow to play in Read More

Favorite picture: Grace builds forts/structures/tents/beds for everyone every day.

Favorite picture We have another Grace on our hands. Tess walked around with these zebra ears (including an attached balloon) all day, every day for about a week.
