We watched Bella this past weekend and made sure it was filled with activities to keep a 2.5 yr old moving.
Saturday was an interesting day. We spent the bulk of the afternoon at our community pool which neither of us knew about prior to this weekend. What a great place for a family. Lushie and [...]

I couldn’t resist that picture. Lushie took it while on our way to visit her family last weekend in central PA. That’s right, an Amish buggy on a flatbed and that guy walking would be the Amish guy.

I’ve been waiting to get to this part of the day. We’re driving back on the Parkway East which is always a nightmare. I don’t care what you people say who live out there, it’s a engineering nightmare of road. Our next stop was the Waterfront for dinner. The Parkway was backed up for 5 [...]
