Daddy went to the store tonight, and when Sadie went crazy at the window, Sam and I thought he was home. To the window we rushed to greet him, and Sam didn’t quite apply the brakes soon enough. BONK! Head to window corner. When I asked him if he was okay, he half-wimpered, “yes…” while […]

It’s finally here! We’ve had the bike for not quite 24 hours, and I think he’s only been off it long enough to sleep. First, the stills: Favorite quotes: “I park my bike in the office.” “We don’t eat bikes. We ride bikes.” (this morning) “We go to Grandma and Grandpa’s house.” “The big truck […]

On the menu tonight? Hot dogs and french fries…or pasta, depending on when you asked. 🙂 Clearly, he takes after his father in the kitchen. Mommy does not cook. (Okay, I cook, but I don’t cook well.)

Last weekend (the weekend BEFORE Labor Day), we were invited to a birthday bash for my brother-in-law Steve’s 50th birthday. It was at a fancy Brazilian steakhouse in Addison. Tracy and Steven (not the same person as the birthday boy Steve, just in case you were confused) and Eli and Eliana came up for the […]

Finally! The last installment of our family trip recap. (I know you’ve been on pins and needles). On Friday, July 20, we loaded up to the gills again and headed toward Buena Vista, Colorado. Bryan’s original plan was to go from Almont to Taylor River Canyon to Taylor Park, then up the dirt road side […]
