This First Camping Adventure…
It was a weekend they’d promised thunderstorms from Thursday through Saturday in pretty much the whole state and everywhere east that we checked. But David had a long weekend off and Friday afternoon, we figured that we would give it a whirl. So we packed up the Audi by 6pm Continue Reading
Alexander Goes to the Farm
Oh My! What a day of fun! This weekend when Grandma and Grandpa came down for a bit ‘o visit, we were all in for a treat. We had thought about heading to the petting farm on Sabbath, but weather, (and baby) wasn’t quite so cooperative. And so it worked Continue Reading
Happy Birthday Papa!!!
This was a very special year that David celebrated his thirtieth year of life. He’d said ages ago that he didn’t want anything big- certainly no surprise parties, and we all know he’s not big on extravagant gifts. So we had to think of some way to do a fun Continue Reading

Swingin’ into Spring
With the gorgeous weather, we’ve been spending time outside pretty much every day, and Alexander has been just loving every minute of it. If you ask him if he wants to go outside he’ll respond with an enthusiastic “yaaaaaaahhh!” Whether we trundle around in the yard, head down the street Continue Reading
