In January, I showed you the super hero capes I made for the boys using some of Michael’s old uniforms.  They have been a HUGE hit, I’ve even had Rachael (17 mo.) beg for me to put one on her!

When Jacob first started sleeping in a twin bed, we were a bit worried he would have issues staying in bed, not going to sleep, etc. And he did, for a [...]
