We had a really awesome visit with Piper yesterday. They let us take her into another room, where we could just hang out with her all by ourselves.

Sunday night, Reagan was being all artsy, working on some stuff for Piper’s birthday. She was having so much fun cutting up paper and stuff, that I decided to get in on the action.
