We took Cohen to the Shedd Aquarium in Chicago on New Year’s Eve. It was his first trip, and while Tim and I had been there in the past, it had been years – like 8 or 9 – to be exact. So it was like new to us, as well. We thought it’d be a fun way to get out of town on New Year’s while still living the family lifestyle! It was a great time. We got to … →
I was so happy to stumble across these for $2 at Walmart today! These pretty pink tulips complemented by my cheery green vase are just what was needed to liven it up around here.

Then we went to church together, which was great! After the service, we were able to get a few pictures together, too, which is nice. We actually got one last year, too, when Cohen was a teeny, tiny 10 day old baby. So great. Much like a lot of the … →
