Since school is back in session we ventured to the playground with friends for some water fun. We have only been a few other times as it gets VERY crowded in the summer. Riley thought the fountains were a lot of fun(a surprise each time)! After a quick change in the care, we went to check out [...]

Today was Riley’s second visit to the dentist and I must say it went so much more smoothly than the first. She relaxed at the play kitchen before we . Keith and I had been ‘practicing’ opening wide with her and it seemed to pay off, no crying and a fabulous report. We stopped by to [...]

After all the excitement of yesterday, we were planning on a morning at the Botanic Gardens with friends today. I can’t even begin to describe how much fun it is to have all of these girls together or how difficult it is to get a picture We strolled through the main garden before heading [...]

Yesterday we had an eventful morning that started so nicely with a visit to the Leanin’ Tree museum with friends. We toured the Western Art gallery and then went out to the sculpture garden for a snack and to peruse the sculptures. Unfortunately, Riley got stung by a yellow jacket on the tip of her middle finger. [...]

Trains, trains, trains everywhere. I thought we could try something new today. The railroad museum was fun but I think Riley will enjoy it even more when she is a bit older. The HO scale model in the basement was spectacularly detailed and it was very interesting to check out the engines and cars outside. We [...]

We had an early morning and decided to change-up our original plans for the morning and head down to the zoo with some friends. I am so glad they were up for the last-minute change as we had a fantastic time. The girls had a blast and us Moms actually managed to chat.
Watercolors

I ran across a set of travel watercolors and thought we might give them a try. They were quite a hit. Check out Riley’s “boo boo sticker”, we’ve been using stickers for those not quite band-aid worthy boo boo’s. And I can’t remember why Keith got the headset but this was too cute to pass up

I have been working on a very special quilt these past few weeks. My amazing grandmother is celebrating a very special birthday this year. She is so special in so many ways and has taught me many things over the years. I remember all the fabulous things she made for me as I was growing up [...]
