Greatest Kid on Earth after seeing ‘The Greatest Show on Earth’
Last weekend we hopped a train into New York City to see Ringling Brothers Circus. Wanna know how to get a 20-month-old to sit, two straight hours, quiet as a mouse? Easy. To paraphrase Oz’s Dorothy: Elephants and Tigers and Zebras – Oh my!
Afterwards, we left Madison Square [...]
Love is …
Maeve, in spiral-curled pigtails and “Daaahling, Let’s Do Lunch” sunglasses.

Happy Love Thursday, everyone! For more images [...]

Maeve looks to daddy for support as she walks, hand tucked safely inside his,
