He was the only non-baby child there, but he did really well. Most of the moms there had kids Jones' age or older, so their kids were all at school. The house was AMAZING. We live in an neighborhood that is a mix of 1930s houses (Sears houses and brick colonials) and newer construction that has … [Read more...]
