After a few days straight of rain, the sun came out and everyone was anxious to get out. We had Cameron, so it was decided to take the boys to the park. The slide was wet, but Silas went down anyway. Silas was already to help Cameron. Getting outdoors to...
Last week, Silas jumped off the bed and in doing so, his foot unfortunately met with a toy that punctured the bottom (of his foot) which sent him to the doctors, and then later the emergency room for stitches. When he got home, he was good as gold, quiet, and...

It’s amazing what you find when looking through Dad’s old things…like a French Franc from 1800’s. As near as I can tell it’s an 1867 French Franc… 1 franc Napoleon III, tête laurée – 1867 On the front: NAPOLEON III – EMPEREUR / K. On the back: EMPIRE – FRANÇAIS//...

My dad must have been one of those that never threw anything away, but he didn’t leave it out in the open either. Many years since he passed away, we are still finding treasures that he kept, almost hidden away! This past weekend, Enric and I were in the shed...
Last night Embers for Ashes played Recher Theater. This was my third time seeing them at this venue. All the shows there have been very good, but last night they connected with the crowd, and with each other, and it made for a great show.

I often speak of Kinder Park, but I often forget one of the things that is so precious about it…FARM. Kinder also has a farm on its land, and it makes it really special. Before that though, we took Silas to the playground. We first had a bit of a...
Ok, so it’s not yet spring, but the weather has indeed been springlike. He started on the trampoline… He then became very fascinated with the lock on the barn door. Frolicking in the sun. Then Silas rather likes the bar that we used to use as a device to lock...

Today the good weather took Laura and I to the B&A Trail. It seems like forever that we had been there. The trail has about an 8-foot wide paved surface and is in good condition. The total length is 13 miles between Annapolis and Glen Burnie, MD. Once you reach...
With the nice change of weather in the upper 50’s, Laura and I decided to go to Kinder Park. The fact that it is technically still winter was still there, with snow from our last blizzards still in scattered places around the park… Because of the winter, not much was...
