First Day of School, Take 1

Claire started kindergarten today, and Kaitlyn headed off to second grade. It was hard…but not as hard as sending Kaitlyn off all on her own two years ago. It was so sweet to watch the girls stand in the bus line, holding hands, smiling. Such big kids we have! I cannot wait to hear all of their stories in just a few more minutes…

Welcoming Baby Hartings on Stork Airlines

I've abandoned the blog for a good long while now, but the excitement surrounding Baby Hartings - Tommy and Adrienne's baby, that is! - finally got me back online here.

Johanna and I teamed up with two of Adrienne's dearest friends for a fabulous fete at the WACO Airfield in Troy, Ohio. Stork Airlines was the theme, and we carried it through from the biplanes hanging over us to the vintage suitcases and diaper-bearing storks on the tables to the little bags of pretzels and peanuts at every place setting. While the little ones ran around and pedaled miniature airplanes outside, guests wrote witticisms for late-night diaper changes and designed one-of-a-kind onesies for the future trendsetter (check on the baby Uggs and tot-sized aviators).

We cannot wait to meet "Baby Monster" in November. Congratulations Tommy and Adrienne!
