Lucy was not just a good puppy, she was a great puppy. For almost 17 years she was a happy, four-legged member of the family. Never fussed. Never chewed a shoe. Always ready for an adventure but equally happy lounging in the sun. Honestly, I don’t know that I’ve met many dogs that were as…

14 candles on the cake
Ok, ok…I know it’s September and Sophia’s birthday was in April, but here I am. By and large, this site is our own digital journal – I know only a few family members keep up with our little corner of the internet – but I’d like to think that the kids will look back fondly…
It’s the 10th of August Again
Fifth time that the stars continue to align. Hardly an accident but it is starting to get a little hard to see the picture in the picture in the picture…
Brand new address; same great place called HOME.
Move #9 under the belt. Not something we were excited to complete but we hatched a plan and executed when the time was right. Being that this was a move around the corner, we shuttled most of our stuff south a carload or two at a time. Our schedules were a little wonky this month…
Staring Summer with a Big Swing
All sorts of action going on this June. School is winding down. Work is… well, not winding down… but… we managed to squeeze in a trip to the Mecca of Summer (San Diego of course!) nonetheless. What could be a better start to June than that you ask? How about winning the Alexandria Little League…
Sticks!
Otherwise known as Will turns 11. Will keeps getting older and I’m still in dismay that my baby is far from that! He may be getting older but he’s still full of curiosity and a side of mischief. Will started his 10th year with a baseball cake and that theme certainly carried him through the…
12 Years of Twinkle Toes
Perhaps it was all the changes and challenges, some anticipated and some not, but it certainly feels like Sophia did a lot of growing up this last year! She impressed us with her resilience, keeping her chin up and smiling through the challenges she was faced with. To say we are proud of this lady…
All of the Gluten
I’m not sure what prompted it, maybe a post-holiday / post-vacation rut, but I spent an unusual amount of time working with dough and trying to figure out sourdough levain in February. The intent was for the two activities to be linked. Step one: perfect a levain. Step two: use it once a week to…
Ho Ho Ho
What’s better than Christmas with family? Not. A. Thing. Well, maybe Christmas with a little bit of snow on the ground but that is kind of splitting hairs. The lead up to the end of the month was spent listening to Christmas music, taking evening spins through the neighborhood to see the lights, and prodding…
Ten Wild Years!
What do you know, Wild Bill is double digits! Four months after his birthday (because of course this post is not timely) I’m still in disbelief that my youngest kiddo has already reached this milestone. Sidenote, we never call him Bill but this nickname has definitely stuck and become oddly fitting. While some years Will…
