Visiting Friends

We went to Greenfield yesterday to visit with our friends Barb, Dave Sr. and Dave Jr.  Dave Jr. came home from Italy for a visit, and brought his girlfriend Davida.  She seemed very nice, and we all had a good time.  Tyler got in the pool with us, and once he got used to being… Continue reading Visiting Friends

Yay! Mows!

Kevin had to go get gas for his mowers, and left the trailer hanging open.  Ty watched from the window, and when I told him, “yes, we can out and see the mowers” he jumped down from his stool, ran to the mud room door and said (and I quote) “yay!  mows!”.

Visit to Maryland

Tyler had his first plane ride this weekend!  Friday we took a plane from Manchester, NH to Baltimore, MD.  We decided to buy Tyler his own seat, instead of holding him in our laps.  That was a well spent $160!  I can’t imagine flying with a toddler and having to hold him in your lap. … Continue reading Visit to Maryland
