Reid and Stefani Adopt

 Here's a few gems from spring break this year. 1.  Isaac has a crazy high jump.  Still can't believe he can do this.   2.  Esther is now featuring the ultimate in natural jewelry: real live lizards biting onto her ears and hanging on for dear life.  I almost want my own pair...just not actually alive. 3.  My sister came down for spring break this year and took her two oldest, Erin and Lainey, and all 3 of my kids to Harry Potter World at Universal Studios.  Reid and I stayed behind with her 2 youngest kids, Dawn and Owen.   Inside Gringott's Wizarding Bank.
