Minnesota & Michigan Trip

It always seems like we spend so much time preparing for a trip and then before we know it the trip has come and gone. That’s how our last trip to Minnesota and Michigan went. The Wiktors had a pretty busy summer and we were looking forward to the time together and with our families….

Portland

Portland, Portlandia, PDX. A city of many monikers, friendly people and no shortage of greenery. This trip first started out as a destination for Carolyn and I to run a marathon together. Plus, it has always been a spot Phil and I wanted to visit so it was a win-win in our book. Our trip…

Sophia turns THREE!

It only took three years, but we finally had a proper birthday party for Sophia. Neither Phil or I grew up having big birthday parties every year so it definitely won’t be something we do for each birthday but it’s fun to do once in awhile. Sophia loved everything about her party, but what’s not…

Christmas [in April]

I was really sitting down to write a post about our springtime activities when I realized we still hadn’t posted pictures from our Christmas time in Minnesota. Unfortunately, we didn’t take that many pictures on the first end of our trip in Minnesota because we were without a lens – boo. Despite that, it was…

Rewind

In a last ditch effort to get caught up on what filled our time during the last three months of 2013, here’s a quick photo rundown…

William’s Birthday…a few months late

Phil may disagree with me on this one (it’s probably just mommy guilt) but it certainly feels like William gets cheated out of a lot of the exciting “firsts” we shared with Sophia. His baby book is barely filled and has no photos, hand-me-down clothes (which I love), a hand-me-down room and the majority of…

Summertime…

and the livin’s easy (sung to the tune of Sublime’s Summer Time). Our summer wasn’t quite so easy with the crazy busy schedule Phil was dealing with. The fact that it’s nearly November and I’m just now getting around to posting pictures from August is further evidence of that but alas, here we are! Although…

Red, White and Blue

We celebrated Independence Day in the standard American way – barbequing, beers, fireworks and a whole lot of red, white and blue! Oh, and a little bit of mud on the side.

The big 3-0!

No, I’m not in denial about turning 30, just terribly behind in updating our website. Despite Phil’s absence, I had a wonderful 30th birthday. Most notably because my parents were here to share it with me. It’s strange to think that I spent my first 24 birthdays with my parents (except for my golden birthday…

Photo Bomb!

Once again, I’ve been away from our lovely website for far too long. I’ll save the words for Phil and cut right to the good stuff!
