Because that’s the way I roll. We made a pie. Apple. It was tasty. And the kiddo has some serious nutmeg-grating skillz. At Grandma’s house we took a nice walk with the dog after dinner. The light was lovely. The boy was good company.
Adventures in the city
The kiddo had Friday off from school so I got the bright idea to take a trip to Chicago. We signed up for a membership to the Field Museum when we visited in April and I thought it would be a good time to check out the whale exhibit. (Which […]
Let’s do this in order, shall we?
I have some lovely Halloween pics of our own little Harry Potter, but we went to the Meijer Gardens the day before and I just can’t bring myself to post out of order. I’m crazy like that. We’d gotten free passes months ago and they were about to expire. Sunday […]
We took on the maze again…and won!
This weekend was a wonderful demonstration of why I love fall. It’s my absolute favorite season. The sun was shining, the temps were nice and the sky was blue, blue, blue. Although we were fresh off of a high-energy birthday party, Dev and I spontaneously decided to head to the […]
Seven years
This photograph makes me smile and also makes me pine for Devin’s younger days. It seemed like a great way to start out this post. I know myself well enough to realize that with tomorrow’s busyness, I’m not likely to find the time to put this together. So I’m going […]
The Meadows
I always wondered what Las Vegas translated to. To me, it translates to kind of otherworldly. It was my second visit there and both have been for business. I never had it on my personal travel agenda. And I think I had a pretty good instinct about that. I’m just […]
Art spotting
It wasn’t that easy to find time to get to ArtPrize this year. We finally made it down on Sunday. And it was mobbed, of course. But we managed to do a couple of hours of exploring before the crowds and sore feet got to us. The animals were Devin’s […]
They lie!
In endless magazine articles and books, I’ve read that if you get your child involved in choosing and preparing the food, they’ll eat it. They obviously haven’t met Devin. Devin was home again on Monday with strep throat. (I say again because he’s managed to catch it twice in two […]
My little “guest” photoblogger
In early September, Devin and I drove across the state to visit some good friends (and their adorable dogs). During our visit, we traveled to the Toledo Zoo for some animal antics. Before we left, I was packing up my camera and Dev asked if he could bring his along. […]
At this point, a “month in review” is in order
Because I’ve gone all month without a single update! I’ve been really bad with updating and with taking photos this month. So even though we did a lot more than you can see here, I have no record of it. Let’s just assume we had fun! September started off with […]
Hiking (and a little bit of swearing)
We’ve been enjoying summer, getting plenty of outdoor time and exercise. But we haven’t had as many occasions for family adventures as I’d like to. So with a free weekend on the horizon, and decent weather in the forecast, we planned a roadtrip. We packed tons of snacks (although we […]
