Hello, Snow

The Sunday before Thanksgiving, it started snowing a bit in the late morning, so I suggested we go outside while it was still sticking.  We didn’t think it would last more than a few minutes, but it kept coming and probably continued for about 30

Lo family helped us out a few times in November, and Jenson was thrilled with it.  He loves his Nana and Papaw time.  When we ask him if he wants to see them, he usually says “Nana, Papaw, and Sadie?” (his cousin), like she belongs

As our final “fall” activity, we went to Lynd’s Fruit Farm.  We try to go every year at the end of October because that’s when the Gold Rush apples are ready – and I love them.  We met a friend and her son there on

I’m still catching up on posts from October with all of the fun things we did. One of the days while my mom was here after Jenson’s birthday, we headed to Dawes Arboretum to walk around before lunch.  They have this Story Trail for kids,

The Zoo, EmmaLydia, and a visit home

Jenson has always been fond of my nieces, Emma and Lydia.  They live just a few miles from my parent’s house, so they get a lot of time with him when we are home.  But after they came to his birthday party, he became absolutely
