Mothering Emma Kate and Jack…

First day at Disney!

We arrived at Disney World last night around 7:30 and headed straight for our resort hotel. After checking in and grabbing a bite to eat, we tried to get the kids to bed. Emma was WAY too excited to go to sleep; she finally crashed around 10:45. This morning we headed to [...]

Sandlot fun

Happy week of Easter
