Playing Catch Up

Posted in Thoughts

Whew! Being away from the computer over the last week has lead to a big mess in my in box and what not. Slowly, I’m working my way through my emails, blog reader, review items… It was all worth it though as we had a blast with Gramma and Grampa. We hiked. We played. We explored. We created memories.  As always, it was sad, tearful goodbye when we dropped them off at the airport this afternoon.  Tomorrow, we’ll get back into our regular routine and start back up with school. There still a little time left to enter my giveaway…

Today, Munchkin was baptized.  Gramma and Grampa were able to be there to share this special day.  My heart burst with joy to see my sweet little girl decide to make this public display of her inner decision. I was in the back helping Munchkin with the whole process, so my Dad snapped a few pictures for me while D did his best to tape the actual baptism.  The pictures, unfortunately, didn’t really turn out, but I still wanted to share a picture of this moment. After lunch, I chose to surprise Munchkin with this cake that I quickly decorated…

Celebrating a Birthday: Off-road Style

Posted in Family, and Holidays

Today, we’re celebrating D’s birthday.  We’re starting off the day with monkey bread, and then we’re off to do a bit of off-road exploration in D’s truck.  We’ll be doing some hiking and some driving.  Munchkin is excited because she gets to show off some of her favorite places to Gramma and Grampa.  D is excited ’cause he gets to go wheeling on his birthday! A picnic lunch will be enjoyed somewhere along the way.  The cupcakes have been packed as we’ll be enjoying his birthday treats while out on the trails. Happy Birthday, Devildog!
