Happy Friday!

Friday was our day to tour as much as possible while we were in D.C. Thanks to very helpful people from the event we attended Thursday night, we started the day by waking up early to make it to Ken Calvert’s office (our state rep) to see about getting a tour of the U.S. Capital. […]

With today being Veteran’s Day, I wanted to share with you what was the most emotional part of our trip to D.C. for me.
As we were walking to the Vietnam Memorial, Don was relating to me his experience when he walked the length of the wall for the first time a few years ago.
I knew […]

On a walk down past the embassies, we spotting this awesome panda. I don’t remember what building he was outside of but he was too pretty to not take a picture of.
More D.C. pictures coming this week.

Like millions of others, I’ll never forget that morning.Today is Patriot Day.I’d like to share with you a song by my favorite band, Live. The story goes that it’s release was pushed back an album and came out with erie timing. There is a video of this shot with footage of Ed at the site […]

I love this little fish bowl. We bought these delightful glass sea adventure several years ago at The Block. I’m guessing these are about 8 years old - we’re both having a bad time of remembering when exactly we bought them. You know, doing the parent thing where you try to remember which kids you […]

I do love a yummy bowl of Cream of Wheat. Even during our crazy heat spike, it’s still yummy in the morning when you need a little something for a sore throat. Putting it in a cute yellow bowl helps, too.
These past few weeks I’ve been busy with the boys in school - […]

I get some of the biggest surprises during my just-before-bed rounds that I make to check on the boys. I go in for normal stuff, like fixing pillows, fixing covers, kicking toys to the side to make a path just incase the end of the world happens while we’re sleeping and we’ll need to run […]
