Year 5, Day 229
If you ask Miles to name his favorite Family Movie Night viewing experience, he'll tell you (and I could NOT be prouder of this) that the best movie he's seen so far is Hayao Miyazaki's classic My Neighbor Totoro. He loves it so much that he still brings up moments from the film on a … Continue reading Year 5, Day 229

Miles has even yelled his name to us when running around the house playing, as though the mere mention … Continue reading Year 4, Day 76
