Happy Easter
Happy Easter! We started celebrating the holiday earlier in the week, when Audrey decorated paper eggs with sequins and glitter. Her favorite part, by far, was using Elmer’s Glue for the first time. Pouring sequins (“sparkles”) all over the table came in at a close second. Yesterday, the day of the annual Cherry Hill [...]

We celebrated the holiday today with Kenji’s family, at his sister’s house. Audrey had fun with her cousins Claire and Henry, and she seemed to enjoy her first Thanksgiving dinner of turkey, mashed [...]
