Happy November!

It’s been a long time since I’ve done a real post. But since this is supposed to be my crafty blog, I haven’t had a whole lot to post. My craft supplies are all boxed up while we sell our house and prepare to move (nothing dramatic…just across town). So, all my [...]

Happy Halloween 2009!

We went trick or treating at the zoo! Lots of fun and he got good and tired with hiking all around the indoor parts of the zoo. When’s the last time you trick-or-treated next to the dolphins or kimodo dragons? Definitely on the agenda for next year!

We’re back from Grandma and Grandpa’s house and we had lots of fun. Walker had almost free-reign in the back yard for three days. Mom and I made pickles and chutney. And mostly, we just hung out. We stopped to see my grandpa and swung through the old carousel at the [...]

Visiting Mimi and Papa

Cousins just ten days apart. One of the quiet moments. Putting two only two year olds together and telling them to share is FUN!

Went for a ride in the firetruck!!!

Looking at ants (a few moments before they decided to stomp ants).

We went to a dinosaur park.

And he got to drive Papa’s boat!
