Some Recent Bentos…

First Snow Day!

We *finally* got some snow in Virginia this week.  I think we halted all snow production last year by obtaining a snow blower from Jim’s family! Jim and I both rushed home after work to take Sydney out to experience the snow. Of course I first had to dress her for the weather – something [...]

Here is the other reason I have not posted too much lately: Yes, we are expecting baby #3! Gulp!  John and I never felt “done” with two and have been thinking about this for a while.  So we are all super excited to welcome the next baby Tant in August. I’m due 2 days before [...]

I know, I know.  Neither of us has posted in AGES!  I’m sorry! My last day of work for the holidays was December 19th and I just had had it with computers by then.  In my non-mom life, I am an IT Director at a large national medical research philanthropy. It is a great job [...]
