Longtime readers may recall our family “rule” about kids’ birthday parties: we plan to throw them at ages 1, 5, 10, and 16. Well, let this be an encouragement that sometimes, even the rules you set for yourself can be broken! When Dave’s siblings all decided to head South the weekend before Azelie’s third birthday […]
