Give me 2-5 more years and it will be homey and endearing. :) I love that the hubby lets you take the kids out in bare feet! Oh, the looks you must get!!! Especially in D.C!! hahaha I can picture it now! I'm not on twitter. Yet. I go back and forth. I could so easily become obsessed with it, so I'm holding off, but its just a matter of time! I think I'm spending Easter in Pretoria with adopted grandparents here. It will really be my first time there more than an hour or two. Any suggestions on must see/do's?!?!
