I had the best day ever! I had 6 kids playing in my front yard! One of the things I have often complained about is that Amara has no one to play with when she comes to visit. She has me and Grampy and the cats but I have such memories of being at my [...]

I am so lucky to have Amara live close by so that I can be a part of the every day stuff. It is some of the best stuff ever. Jenna is still doing physical therapy for her shoulder from her fall and so the other day I went over to babysit Amara, who has [...]

Just before Christmas Amara got the most wonderful, handmade doll from her Aunt Suzi who lives in Arizona. She named the doll Emily Suzi and they are now best friends!

Amara spent the night with us last night. I was thinking that we hadn’t really done anything blog worthy until I sat here tonight with Grampy and looked at the pictures. I know I’ve said before that I love living in the digital age but it’s true. When Amara’s Mommy was little I would have [...]
