The week before my baby turns four. Scary to think that those days of chubby cheeks, diapers, and mommy assisted feedings are behind us. In its place, a smart, thoughtful, rambunctious little boy. A self proscribed Super Hero. As we approach his day, I’ll resurrect, the top ten things we love about him 1. The …

Week in Rewind: June 20
And so it begins. The little guy saw his daddy hitting golf balls and screamed “golf” making a dash to the door. The boy seems to be taking a liking to it. And he already knows about mulligans, as in I’m moving my ball to right next to the hole. Oh, if it really was …
Week in Rewind: June 14
Friday, the 13th with a full moon. Oh boy. Oh boy. Oh boy That explains a lot of the craziness this week. It started with our fresh farm pickings. Someone sure likes strawberries.

Day 8: Venice
Today, we rushed to the train station and made it just in time. Someone thought we were leaving an hour later. But we made it. We took the high speed line to Venice. As we approached you could feel the energy of the place. Perfect weather brought everyone out and it was electrifying. It took …
