Stop... Miller Time

Bennet and Miller Mansfield have made the best of this snowy NYC winter. Instead of actually getting to play with each other (it is quite the hassle to get across the park with feet of snow on the ground), they just video chat. Bennet does most of the talking and Miller takes it like a champ. What can we say, sometimes girls just have words and guys just need to listen! Well done Miller, you are a pro from the start... and pretty good-looking too!

Bennet's Choice

Bennet has been asking (down-right demanding) me to put her favorite Super Bowl commercial up on the blog. So, at Bennet's request, enjoy...

Happy 3 Month Bennet!

A lot has happened this month... but the bottom line is that we are blessed beyond imagination. This girl is an absolute joy.

Happy Birthday Ladybug Girl!

Valentine's Day

Marmee came to see Bennet (and rescue mom)!

And what would a Lee holiday be without something funny on our heads?

Well Hello...

You know it's cold...

...when you see trash frozen in the water/ice puddles under the subway tracks.

My favorite part about the Olympics?

Gaia

Just wanted to share a wonderful program my mom recently introduced me to:

“Gaia” in Greek mythology means Goddess of the Earth. And GAIA is a new concept featuring creations handmade by women in need in the Dallas community using vintage, recycled, or sustainable materials. The mission of GAIA is to empower these women through employment, encouragement, training and development, leading the women to financial independence. A purchase of the gorgeous vintage napkins (more products will be added soon) helps give back to these women, who are all resettled refugees or former victims of domestic abuse.
