even though we won’t be here for christmas day, we decided to go ahead and get a tree. we thought the boys would really enjoy it, plus for me it doesn’t really feel like christmas unless there’s a tree in the house. we drove down to half moon bay to santa’s tree farm to cut [...]
that is gitte with owen. owen definitely has crush on her. i’ve been hearing about it from the teacher’s at preschool and owen talks about her all the time but i hadn’t actually witnessed this little blossoming puppy love. today was jaime’s (one of owen’s classmates) birthday party and we, including gitte’s father all witnessed [...]
