This moment was the sweetest, most precious thing in the entire world:

Picture of the Week: Making it to Orlando! The few days before we left for Disney World were pretty crazy. Grace started complaining that her head was itchy. Having lice myself a couple of times as a kid, I knew that was an option. I didn't see anything when I looked, but I called Lice Happens just to be safe. This sweet lady came over and combed through all of our hair. As it turns out, Grace and Charley both had it, and Perry and I both did not. This service got rid of everything in the girls' hair, and lucky for us, we were leaving the next morning for Orlando. Apparently, they can only live off of your scalp for up to 48 hours, so our house would be clear of them when we got home. We washed all of the bedding and blankets to be safe, and I remained paranoid every time someone touched their head for weeks. The lady from Lice Happens told me that she had done the heads of at least three other families from the girls' school the previous week. I immediately told t...

...I needed to get some pictures of Perry in her new Freshly Picked sandals to post supporting their release this week, so we took pictures in our favorite peacock dress. She found the rose bushes, so I picked one for her, and she refused to put it down until I bribed her with her rocking unicorn. ...Gracie had lunch in the principal's office with her friends, and Mrs. Skramstad texted me a picture of the cute girls. ...I went to Pinot's Palette with my mom and sisters for Mother's Day, and Isaac texted me a picture of Perry fast asleep before I even got there. ...my canvas started out blank, and I was pretty happy with it midway through. ...my final product wasn't the best, so it'll probably be stored away in some closet until it's discovered one hundred years from now and deemed a masterpiece. ...Shelly sent me this video of Grace finally playing kickball for the first time. She's usually too shy/...
