October 2, 2012

A couple years ago, we had a friend’s preschool-age son over for dinner. The other child asked, “Do you have any treats?” and Milo responded, “Having you here is a treat for us.” Poor kid just wanted dessert.

New mom and baby movie program

March 28, 2012

Taking oneself and a baby to a baby-friendly movie theater is one of our favorite milestones of maternity leave.
