  • Grand Times

    Friday April 2, 2010

    It’s hard to believe that we hadn’t been down to visit Grandma & Grandpa since Thanksgiving (!), but we rectified that last weekend with a trip at the beginning of our spring break.  We began our Saturday at our preschool’s Eggstravaganza, and ended the day with the Grands. The weather wasn’t perfect, but we still [...]

  • The Way their Minds Work

    Wednesday March 31, 2010

    We’ve enjoyed a nice weekend with Grandma & Grandpa and I’ll get around to posting the pictures soon.  I just wanted to share a little funny anecdote before I forgot.   We went to the Grands straight from an Easter Eggstravaganza, so the kids arrived with bags full of candy they were constantly clamoring to eat. [...]

  • What we’ve been up to

    Wednesday March 24, 2010

    About two weeks ago, Adam came down with a “touch” of croup.  He’d been coughing and had a bad night with the barking cough that led to time in the bathroom with the shower running and a call to the night nurse.  Thankfully, his coughing subsided and we avoided a 2am trip to the ER.  [...]

  • Staycation

    Saturday October 17, 2009

    Last week, we had two teacher workdays on Thursday and Friday, followed by a Columbus Day holiday on Monday.   It meant five days of no school! Mike took the kids (all three!) down to visit his parents in southwest VA, while I stayed home to enjoy a staycation by myself.  It was blissful to have [...]

  • Thrill Seekers

    Monday September 7, 2009

    As if our summer vacation wasn’t full enough, we had the opportunity to go to Kings Dominion the day we got back from our New England Vacation.  Grandad’s work takes the employees and their families every year to Kings Dominion for the day, and for the past few years, we’ve managed to weasel our way [...]

  • 4th of July Fun, Country Style

    Sunday July 5, 2009

    This year, we headed south to spend our July 4th with Grandma & Grandpa.  It’s been way too long since we got down there, and the kids were dying to spend some time with them in the country.  That, coupled with the long holiday weekend and the fact that it coincides with both of their [...]

  • Over the River and Through the Wood

    Monday March 2, 2009

    Valentine’s Day, we headed south to log some quality time with the grands.   We got there in time for dinner and enjoyed a delicious spread, followed by the flourless chocolate cake I made for Mike (and the rest of us) to enjoy. For Valentine’s Day, I made Mike a flourless chocolate cake. It was good [...]

  • Working Hard and Hardly Working

    Monday February 9, 2009

    The post title refers to me and the hubs – see if you can guess which part refers to who(m?) … A couple of Saturdays ago (1/24 – I’m still behind in my blogging!), we went down to my folks house.   They had a downed tree with that would be great firewood, if it was [...]

  • Thanksgiving – Country Style

    Tuesday December 2, 2008

    For most of our marriage (maybe all?) we have celebrated Thanksgiving with both sets of parents/grandparents.  They have taken turns hosting and it is always a great time of fellowship.  One of the things Mike & I are so thankful for is having two great sets of parents who like each other and get along [...]
