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!

Good Days

2013 is off to a speedy start and I’m not complaining one bit. Life with two under two is definitely crazy. There are good days and bad days but fortunately I can say the good days outnumber the bad. Here’s a quick photo rundown on how we’ve been spending our days…

Busy bees

We’re still here! As you may have guessed, Sophia and Will keep us pretty busy these days and our little website has been somewhat neglected. We have plenty of photos to share and a post coming about the holidays. Until then, here’s a snapshot of how we’ve been spending our time lately.

Soaking Up the Season

With William’s arrival and everything else going on in our lives it seems like fall is flying by. Before I knew it, October was over and here we are almost at Thanksgiving. Before we get wrapped up in pumpkin pie, Christmas shopping, holiday travels and all things winter, here’s a quick rundown of how we…

Out and About

We’re back with more of our happenings! October started with a visit from Grandma and Grandpa Fairall (aka Grandma and Papa D). From the beach, to the zoo, to wine tasting in Temecula – there was never a dull moment. Sophia had a great time at the zoo. It was the first time she had…

Family Time

It’s hard to believe William has been in our lives for a whole month already. Time is passing too quickly! In between the diapers, feedings and screaming the four of us have managed to get out for some fun. All summer Sea World was on my to-do list. Really, it’s been on my to-do list…

Wrapping Up Spring

Maybe it’s the May grey, June gloom SoCal weather but I can’t believe summer is right around the corner. Where is 2012 going? Spring found us busy with some small but important projects around the house and was rounded out by my parents’ visit for Sophia’s birthday. The first project was a minor kitchen renovation…

Spring Has Sprung!

We might not have had the spring heat wave the rest of the country experienced, but spring is here and the Wiktors are enjoying every minute. As Phil mentioned in the last post, he has been busy on his second batch of home brew. The other weekend Phil spent a Saturday night crunching numbers so…
