Fall in the Forest- a spontaneous “welcome fall” event.
It was a couple of Thursdays ago when Alexander came up to me after several minutes of playing by himself (gasp!) and asked. “Muma- what can we do?” “I don’t know, what would you like to do?” “We should have a party!” We occasionally have little pretend birthday parties for Continue Reading
A Camping We Will Go…
Last weekend we headed over to Pinckney Recreation Area for another family camping adventure. I don’t know if it was such the relaxing and laid-back weekend as our anniversary getaway sans munchkins, but it’s always fun to watch them in their adventures and wonder at all their new experiences. We Continue Reading
Little Tiger on the Town
Friday we headed down to the A2 Summer Festival for a little fun and face painting, and came home with a little tiger. It was a fun little jaunt. Alexander actually followed through with the painting, and was pretty pleased with his transformation. He got lots of gawks and ‘aww’s Continue Reading
When “Boomer” Entered our World
Every spring we head out to the back yard, dream a glorious dream of tiered decks, winding walled patios, or Tuscan lounging spaces. This year we decided that we don’t actually live in Italy, and instead of planning exotic living spaces, maybe we scale things down to something we could Continue Reading

smiles on this very bon sabbat…
There are just those moments every now and then when you just sit back and watch your little one in wonder. Today was just one of those days where we couldn’t help but smile. …Smile to watch Alexander share, so kindly, his magnet triangles (but “only two, Aidan!”)and his Kix Continue Reading
Alexander’s First Snowman!
Today Alexander and Muma got to build their first snowman together. The snow was sticky and heavy and perfect for rolling with the help of Alexander’s strong muscles. Lifting was not so easy though- we had to call in Papa for that part! We piled him high, brushed off some Continue Reading
LegoManiac
We’ve got a little builder in our house these days- Or maybe more like a LegoManiac. Some constructions take place in the mornings when Alexander is waiting for Muma and Papa to get ready for the day. And other times he just gets in a building mode and comes up Continue Reading
