Mother/Son Outing 2008
Our homeschool group does a couple of really neat events each year: a father/daughter dance and a mother/son outing. Last Thursday was the mother/son outing and I had 3 handsome dates! We split into two groups: kickball for boys nine-and-under, and flag football for...

The Mothers in My Life

Wordless Wednesday: Little Levis
The first day Miss Lily wore these shorts, I thought it was just the cutest thing I'd ever scene and took an embarrassing number of photos. Don't they just scream "Levi's ad"? I felt bad because she said they were tight - she is a pleasantly plump little thing - but...
