Shout out

Big thanks to Big Brother Joe for his time with us and all that he did to help with the girls. Joe's been our substitute nanny for the past 3 years when our wonderful nanny has been on vacation. He's awesome and the girls love him. This year, he got to be softball uncle and attended Tia's games! Thank you, thank you!

Happy birthday!

Happy Birthday to my beautiful 12 year old! How did 12 years go by so quickly? She's smart, strong, funny, graceful, independent, self-sufficient, and very loving. She loves cats, giraffes, calendars, cupcakes, cooking, and of course, ballet.
