Exploring

By

We found a little Japanese garden to explore last night on our walk near the river. It was fenced in so no kids could escape and we had the whole thing to ourselves! We are soaking up the last days of summer vacation. Ryan has been back for a while, but his students start next week. Leah has kindergarten orientation next week too, and starts full time the next week. Yikes!!

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.

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...

Happy Birthday to Grammy!

By
We started off our summer a few weeks ago visiting Grammy B (B for Barbara!) at her house to celebrate her birthday.  The kiddos had fun visiting with Uncle Max and Uncle Gus and the boys got to dig through their old Legos which was awesome.  Aunt Teresa and Cousin Gracie came too - what fun to see the cousins play!  We went to the park and the splash pad, and also attempted a hike at a state park near by.  Happy Birthday Mom/Grammy!  We love ya!
