Exhausting, But Adorable

If you can think of a better way to spend a Saturday afternoon than with a 6 and 8-year-old, my big brother, and his 3-month-old at the Museum of Natural History, please… do tell. Chris’ wife was having a girls’ afternoon with her college roommates, so we got the kids. They couldn’t have been more…
