With the return of warmer weather comes the return of our locally famous wagon o’ cuties: Except what’s that in the wagon, a little red elf? Now I might be biased here, but that is the cutest elf I’ve ever seen! This is the first time I put that little sweatshirt on my son. I […]
We took the kids to see the Pixar movie Monsters VS Aliens last Sunday after church. The good news is, we didn’t end up with any nude children running around the theater (see a previous post of mine; I forget which one, but I think this happened more than once so take your pick –
