The first post of 2021. Izzy and Joe’s New Year’s Eve was uneventful. Mom and Dad had a huge feast from outback (at 9:30 pm thanks to a 2 hour delay by Outback), courtesy of Aunt G, but other than that, we didn’t do a ton. In 2021, Izzy has Read more…

Izzy is starting to hoop. We watched Mommy’s games on tv, and then we started playing with the “big ball”. Izzy can catch the actual full size basketball, and then she’ll go dunk it. She can pass it, she just chooses not to. Her favorite is she’ll take the ball Read more…
