Last week, our family welcomed a beautiful baby girl into the world. Leah and Ted’s daughter, Harper Alice, was born on Thursday, and we are so in love! Alice is a family name on both sides (Ted’s mother and Leah’s – and my – grandmother were Alice and Mary Alice, respectively), and it sounds so lovely with the name Leah and Ted picked out for her first name. Harper is already the chubbiest little nugget and we’re all pretty obsessed with her – especially her big brother, Liam. Liam has been staying with us while his parents and baby sister have been in the hospital, and my kids have LOVED having him here. He’s such a sweet, loving little boy! Later today, the new family of four will be reunited at home. I can’t wait to get my hands on that baby again!

The hair salon with the world’s oldest barber is just a couple miles from my house and my 11 year old son gets such a kick out of going to him! He’s a very sweet man and does an awesome job!

The article on whether a 16 year old should marry a 25 year old…… well, I thought I knew the answer until I read their story and now stand corrected. This made me cry, and wish I had all the money to help them.
