Girl’s Life

Let the rain kiss you.
Let the rain beat upon your head with silver liquid drops.
Let the rain sing you a lullaby.

We’ve had a lot of rain around here lately. I particularly love it when I get to be inside with nowhere to go. Sophia particularly loves it when she gets to explore outside […]

On daycare days, we never know how Sophia’s hair is going to look when we pick her up. Her caretakers are always putting clips and side ponytails in her hair in the afternoon to “pretty her up” for pick up time. Chris and I crack UP when we see her. Today was over the top–her […]

During her bath tonight, I caught Sophia making kissy noises with the fishies and saying “happily ever after . . .” I think it’s definitely time to cut her off the princess paraphernalia for awhile.

Merry Christmas, from our little elf family! OK, sorry but I couldn’t resist the Christmas cheese-fest. This was too funny to pass up. Click here to watch it for yourself.
