We wandered over to the Children’s Museum as our first stop of the day and happened upon a well named (and busy) neighborhood breakfast joint. Then we were off to meet Mary, John, Katie and Keegan for the morning. The museum was not too crowded and had a little something for everyone. Thank you, Walker, […]
We have been looking forward to this year’s AAP conference in San Diego for quite some time. It officially starts tonight with the opening reception so we took the opportunity to get settled, wander around the harbor and do a little sightseeing with Bill. The Convention Center was the hub of the activities. The boys […]
Fall break began for us today. We are headed for sunny skies in San Diego. I’m not sure if these are selfies but I found them when I downloaded all the pictures from my iPod. California, here we come.
Once again we participated in Walk to School along the Ohio River. It was brisk but not as cold as it was last year. Mason (above) and Walker started off in the first group with the principal. I ran ahead to see them coming but walked a later group to school. Walker loves to leap […]

Please pardon the string of adjectives but I am trying to tie together a full day of important events. It started with Grandparents Day. The program backdrops were flowers with petals colored by each student. The musical accompaniment this year was live and it added quite a bit to the program. Of course, they played […]
Mason’s scout group had a field trip today to satisfy a requirement to visit a local place of historical interest. The den chose the LST Memorial which is a memorial ship built for World War II. According to its website, the LST (Landing Ship, Tank) is an amphibious vessel designed to land battle-ready tanks, troops […]
When the boys fall for a book series, they fall hard. They both are smitten with Michael Vey and have been waiting for Richard Paul Evan’s latest book, Hunt for Jade Dragon, to be released. We preordered autographed copies a while ago. Unlike Amazon where the book arrives on the doorstep the day it is […]
