The gift of unconditional love

There is nothing quite like a long weekend with Cousin H and an aunt who pours more love into my kids than they know what to do with. (And the best part is that the parents got a night away to go biking near Hagerstown, MD)

Everybody dance now!

We did it. One full year of competitive dance after several years of lessons and a half-year team. Mom's favorite memories will be our long talks and eating out, including one seafood dinner late at night in Ocean City, MD, in the middle of February as we watched it snow on the beach outside (and yes we sang the song!).
