Fun with Jane & Dick

I love my sister and I love being here in California visiting her. We decide to go for a walk to grab some breakfast. Lucy is pushing the stroller, which incidentally, is holding our bags rather than the baby. Dick has Benz in the Bjorn so he can enjoy the view as we are walking. [...]

We usually do Christmas at my mom’s house so the Christmas tree goes over there. Every year, it’s Lucy and I who go shopping for the tree. Don’t let the picture fool you into thinking Lucy is taller than me…Lucy is sporting 3″ heeled boots. In actuality, she’s one inch SHORTER than me, even though [...]
