Tennessee Vacation

By
A few weeks ago, we were lucky enough to take a sporadic vacation in Tennessee. We drove down and stayed with Dainty Mom & Dad. It was a wonderfully relaxing week during which we lounged around, played a lot of Pinochle, watched movies, went hiking... But, the highlight of the trip may have been watching our dog, Lucy, become familiar with the swimming pool. She was a bit of a spaz in the pool at first, but by the end of the week she was quite a pro. The video below is of one of her very first grand entrances into the water.




And here are a few pictures from our day trip to Burgess Falls.

Great video, but Ryan's voice is at a seriously annoying pitch. imagine what he'll sound like with a baby around.

I laughed and I cried, but since this is Dainty Mom I am sure it is no shock. FYI: I have been out shopping for that Dainty grandbaby!

A Very Belated Welcome to Baby James Lawrence

By
Ok. So, I haven't updated the blog in QUITE some time.  And I have received subtle and not-so-subtle hints that certain loved ones far away would like an update!  I will work on uploading some recent pictures and events! I feel it is only fair to give James a dedicated post, as I never posted pics here when our sweet new little guy was first born.  As you can imagine, life has been a bit crazy around here.  The good kind of crazy...  But crazy. James was born 11/27/15 - almost a whole month earlier than his due date!  He was 6 pounds, 10 ounces.  He had a little stay in the NICU while his lungs strengthened and healed, and then we brought him home in time for Christmas.  His first name, James, is Ryan's dad's name (and Ryan's middle name.)  His middle name, Lawrence, was my Grandpa's name.  He has two awesome patron saints and namesakes!  He is now almost 6 months, is rolling, babbling, laughing, and starting to eat...

Happy Birthday Great Grandma Marguerite!

By
Ryan's grandmother is celebrating a special birthday this summer, and in honor of that, her whole family got together to celebrate.  All her children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren were there!  It was quite a party.  Our boys got to meet Grandma Gerrick for the first time which was so special.  We also went to a baseball game, the aquarium, swam in the pool, saw the ocean, and ate yummy seafood.  Despite the fact that we were recovering from summer sickies, it was a lovely time.

Sam's Blog Debut

By
The Coronavirus pandemic has us hunkering down at home like many people around the country, and we are working to make the best of it!  The kids miss their friends at school and are disappointed about various things that have been cancelled or put on hold indefinitely, however there we are enjoying the time together as a family.  The days are full of extra stories, games, puzzles, bike rides, and walks.  We have started a few activities as part of our "school at home" routine and figured that resurrecting the blog might be a fun way to share what the kids are up to. But first, since the last time I wrote on the blog James was just learning how to crawl, and now James is a 4-year-old big brother, we figured we should officially introduce Mr. Samuel Drexel on the blog!  Sam is 9 months old now and he is lots of fun.  The kids have figured out a few ways to get him belly laughing in recent days.  We all laugh when he crawls after a pilates ball and pounces...
