Remember when I wrote that Reaghan was starting dance class this fall? Her Winter Showcase was last weekend and it was a-dorable. This entire fall I've had so much fun taking Reaghan to dance class every Thursday evening. She gets so excited when she wakes up from her nap and I tell her...

I am 2 weeks late in posting this... her ten month "birthday" was 14 days ago. This Christmas season has been so busy so far even with all of attempts to keep things slow. I guess its just the nature of the season with kids! We've been having fun, but hopping on this...

As I mentioned in my last post about all that Reaghan loves at 3 years of age, she L O V E S Moana. Have you seen it? Reaghan was hooked after the first time she watched it and I actually enjoy it too. Which if you know me isn't that surprising because...
