Last week a nice big package arrived for us from our pal Mindy at XMKids Radio. See, the girls and I have been tuning in to XM while on our car travels. Chloe keeps occupied in the car as she tries to call in to talk to Mindy, Kenny and Robbie. (Though sometimes she gets…

Best Birthday Gift?
Yeah, she’s a funny girl. Those, in fact, are Wasabi peas. Truly, she loved all her gifts, safari clothes, the building toy Camille picked out for her, but the best was saved for last. Her own Nintendo DS. Yes, they snuck the Wii into the house and now we are officially a modern family. Here’s…
