Introducing Mailee!

I'm currently hanging out in OH with my nephew Jaxon,
who is the proud new big brother to my newest niece Mailee!
Here's a link to Bernice's blog with the essentials.
Thanks so much to Jon for making this trip possible
& holding down the fort back in Philly.
I miss you guys so much!  <3

Bernice has written a more detailed account of Mailee's birth here.

7*11 Game

This was a family game night at our good friends the Dalby's.  The game is 7-11.  You basically start with a pile of candy goodness.  Each person rolls two dice and every time you roll a 7 OR 11 they pick out a piece of candy.  Once all the candy is gone the thieving round begins.  Each person gets one chance to steal a piece of candy from someone else.  It was so much fun and everyone came home with lots of sugar.  We had a good time.  The large Hershey bar made its rounds during the thieving stage.  This would be a great idea during Family Reunions or other activities with a large group of people, though with more than 7 people you may want to use more than one set of dice to keep the game moving especially with younger children.

Zane @ Pump It Up Party

This was Zane's school friend's birthday.  Huge slides, a jump house, air hockey with pizza and cake.  Dad and Zane had a blast. We had done something similar with MOMS Club in GA.
