Another Christmas Tree Trip for the Books

If there is one thing I love about our Christmas tree trips, it’s the fact that there are always stories to tell.  And this year didn’t disappoint.  There was a wedding in the hotel portion of the place we normally stay so it was booked solid (and busier than I recall), so my procrastinating had…

Rough-housing with Aunt Bath + Car talk

So we were so thankful that Aunt Beth joined us for Thanksgiving.  Connor was constantly looking to play with Aunt Beth but the way he said it made us think he wanted to take a bath, which typically he does not request (so maybe that should have been a clue). Poor Aunt Beth, she’ll need…

Not for any particular reason at all…

Pretty soon this blog will be taken over by all the Halloween pictures, followed by Holiday gatherings, parades, and other festivities so I just thought I would post some random, every day pictures for a change. So soccer season is just about to wrap – it has gone by far too quickly although I think…

A good day for a picnic

Wow!  What a beautiful day for a picnic.  We met my parents and bro/Jen at Hagan Stone today at our usual spot for our last picnic of 2014 (well, unless this unseasonably warm weather persists). The weather was perfect and so was the company. We enjoyed chicken and all the fixins’, impromptu soccer, hike in…
