Elephant and Piggie!! We took Luke and Mave to Elephant and Piggie and we had so much fun! The kids were so thrilled and thought the whole thing was magical. Especially the rooftop smores at 54thirty. And last, but not least, Thanksgiving! We had such a great time this year with Mom and Dad and…
If I refuse to believe it, does that mean it didn’t happen? Just kidding. Nothing has brought me more joy than watching you grow up. You are so smart, driven (you woke up super early in Australia to take an interview for an internship!) and just plain fun to be with. Our family always feels…
Dear Josh, How is this happening? Just yesterday you were my tiny, blond, hilarious toddler, and you and now my very tall, blond, hilarious, smart, fun, kind, and thoughtful ADULT CHILD.
