Like the new look? I guess it happens to “everyone”, I just didn’t expect it to happen so soon! Sophia found the some SCISSORS–went under the desk in the office (where I thought she was pulling out some dog toys) but instead decided to give herself a haircut. I’m glad it wasn’t worse, I’m more [...]

I’ve been on a mission lately to keep Sophia entertained. Not an easy job–she’s a busy one all day long. Except when its time to go to bed. She’s VERY consistent and serious about her 7pm bedtime She’ll tell us its time for jammies or to read a book.

Every girl needs a sparkling butterfly! Sophia squealed when we saw this and who was I to resist? This was taken in the car with my iPhone on the way back from our last night in Myrtle Beach. We went to the Boardwalk–I can’t remember the exact name but it was great fun, lots of [...]

OK, so its not exactly the crystal clear seas of the Carribean, but it was still a lot of fun! I recently found out about this lake at Greenbrier park in Maryland, its only about 20 minutes away from us! Sophia didn’t seem to care about the difference between a lake or the ocean, she [...]

OK, so it did turn out to be my fault, I admit it….I left my Nikon on the counter at the last winery we visited when friends were here (the kids were trying to open the spigot and I didn’t think releasing hundreds of gallons of wine would gain us any favor!) I had completely [...]

We were headed to do a few errands today and I promised Soph a trip to the park on our way back. Little did I know we’d run into a “pick your own strawberries” sign! I asked her what she wanted to do and she suprised me by agreeing that picking strawberries sounded like a [...]
