Emily and I started our own informal, two-mom, co-op... she babysits the girls sometimes and we take Baby Lucy whenever we can get her! Last time Emily watched Francie and Maisie at her house for two hours while I went to IKEA- I came back to pick them up and she said "Good luck with this!" meaning two crazy girls and a newborn :) It's going to be fun!

We put up colored lights on the front of the house - I wanted white but Heff was excited for color and they look great. He even put up permanent light hooks under the gutter so we can just throw them up every year.
