This little girl turns 4 years old today. Time has just flown by . . . Four things about Cami at this point in her life: 1. She is very polite. IF she chooses to speak to you she will use polite words (although with her siblings, these words are not always spoken in a [...]

The older two kids attend a special Homeschool “School” one day a week. It is quite a distance from where we live so I’ve been trying to come up with some fun things to do with the younger girls while we are out that way. So, this week we went on a ‘Wind in the [...]

. . and no where to go. We had planned to go on holiday this week, but due to the Eyjafjallajokull volcano, our plans were canceled. We were a bit bummed but were holding out hope to the end that we could still make it. Instead, we have to reschedule. On the bright side, at [...]

I have to admit we didn’t have any new visitors, but we kind of ‘borrowed’ our friends, the Mayers, for a little while.

After months and months of warning Emma that this day was coming, it finally arrived. We left the house yesterday morning with her looking like this: . . from the front . . . and from the back. Needless to say, it had gotten rather long and unruly. When we arrived home later in the [...]

Since Chris had off work for Easter Monday, we decided to jump at the chance and take a day trip out to Winchester, which is about an hour away from us. The ride there was not fun as a wrong turn added about 20 minutes onto our trip and caused some car sickness. But, we [...]

We found it a little bit different celebrating Easter in England . . . both pros and cons. The Easter Bunny had a hard time finding any sweet things to fill baskets with. There was more than enough chocolate available, but very little jelly beans or the like. We also had a hard time finding [...]

Chris’s good friend from our Cornell days was in London for the weekend with his girlfriend. We jumped at the chance and met them for lunch in Notting Hill to enjoy some great pizza. Times and places have changed but the comfortable friendship and conversation have not. Afterward, we took a stroll around town, visited [...]

We had a great time coloring Easter eggs this year. We have only been able to find brown eggs here so that’s what we went with. It was fun to see how differently they color compared to the white eggs. They take longer to see the color, but when you do, they are deep and [...]

This is a slow week for Chris as many people are out of his office on holiday. So when he asked me if I was interested in meeting him in the city for lunch this week, I jumped at the chance. I think I took him by surprise. Chris has worked in a big city [...]
