Park Break Considering I have many, many days left this year, I shouldn’t be posting any photos outside of my one-a-day. I need to save them up. We ran an errand this afternoon, and on the way home, went to the park. It was a really beautiful day–the wind chill was only 46! We picked [...]

Day 23: Pictures of You Ada and I had another craft night last night. There are two pages from the book that I’m making for Ada. She’s doing really well naming all her things, but she still doesn’t have a grasp for names of people. Everybody is either a mommy, daddy, baby or pampa. The [...]
