Before the Super Bowl, we watched the Puppy Bowl- and unlike the Super Bowl, the team we wanted to win took home the Puppy Bowl trophy. But alas, there’s always next year to try and prevent the Chiefs from winning it all. We did enjoy some funny commercials at least: the Dunkin Donuts one with Read More

Favorite picture: These girls are constant entertainment. Favorite kid quote: Grace: “I’m going to have about 35 children when I’m older, and bring all of them to you for daycare.” Favorite food: Grace did a project on Mississippi for school, so we made a Mississippi Mud Pie for her to take in and share with Read More
Tough Like Tessa
Last week Tess and I headed to Mayo for her yearly check up. To be honest, I’m still amazed and incredibly thankful that we are in this stage of “yearly” check ups.
