The boys are back in West Palm and, of course, I miss them. Luckily, our weekend together was memorable. The boys arrived late Friday afternoon, and we just hung out and had dinner together. I gave Jacob and Joshua teddy bears that I made at Build-A-Bear with message from me (expect a separate post on [...]

Halloween is one of our favorite times of the year.  Not only does it signal the beginning of the holiday season, but it’s also when we get to dress up and go collect CANDY!!!  In maintaining a costume theme each year, we decided to dress up as pirates this year. For the first time, Jake [...]
