Caught Playing Peek-a- Boo with JDaniel outside a Hotel

By

One of my sister-in-laws was trying to entertain JDaniel as he sat in his car seat waiting to for us to take him home by playing peek-a-boo with him. She would duck down below the car windows and pop up. He loved it. Things were going great until she moved around to the right side of the car.

Why Change into New Clothes at Night?

JDaniel thinks get changed means put on his pajamas. While we were attending my niece’s wedding events, JDaniel had to be changed into nicer clothes to attend the rehearsal dinner and wedding reception. They were both evening events.

Long Drive Home

By

I have just returned from my niece Maria’s wedding in Mississippi. It was wonderful! I will tell you a few of the highlights later this week.
