How We Roll

Spoiling Grace with popcorn and chocolate milk while shopping, just because.
 Practicing "Big Sisterhood" with Baby Miles and loving every second of it.
 Insisting on dressing up like Princess Presto, wand included, to watch Super Why
 Staying in our jammies to an embarrassingly late hour of the day.
 Buying specific gallons of milk because the "Best By"date is the same as the baby's due date.
 Asking the Post Office for individual stamps instead of a pack and and them picking these ginormous Year of the Dragon stamps.
 Receiving crazy legit packages in the mail that, despite having had a baby 6 weeks earlier, your friend purchased your favorite cookies, then wrapped each one individually in saran wrap to ensure maximum freshness for their journey from California to Texas. I love you Mel.

 Continuing a deep rooted love of piggies.
 Being introduced to and partaking in the most incredible breakfast sandwich ever.
 And finally, loving the new system of eating raspberries known as the "Raspberry trough" 
That is how we roll.
