Today was my baby’s last day of preschool. I didn’t cry, but I definitely felt the heavy weight of never having another preschooler. They performed a darling graduation program and Finn was hilariously animated during “Good Ship Lollipop.” Miss AnneMarie was the best teacher. Just like that, the end of…
Sometimes Finn is sly enough to sneak his nie-night into Target. When you’re the baby, you get away with a lot. It’s a sad day when Finn’s beloved stuffed animal has to be washed. He stands on a stool next to the washing machine and watches it spin. I took…

Finn developed a love for robots and was so excited to dress up as a robot for Halloween. Any type of fleece costume is a risk in Southern California because you never know how hot it will be on Halloween, but I couldn’t imagine him being comfortable walking around in…
We woke up this morning after the weekend and decided to put off Mondaying after sending big brothers to school. I think we made the right choice.
