Read MoreiPod Fun, Sunday Dinner
I managed to chase down an iPod classic and dock like my dad had on eBay, and loaded it up with lots of fun stuff so we can enjoy music in our family room. The kids think this is great!

Kendall has decided she loves the Rubik’s cube, and insisted on cuddling with it at bedtime. So cute! It doesn’t look very snuggly to me, but she...
