A few days ago AJ told me “I’m glad you’re going away: you’re always home and Daddy goes away. Now we’ll get some boys’ time!” And I thought, okay, good, no worries. Then last night at bedtime he freaked and was sobbing “No, I don’t want boys’ time, I want whole family time, with all […]
“Let’s just go to the front if the line and ask if we can look at the pastries so I know if they have brownies.”
Is pretty great on a sunny Saturday. (DJ included of course)
Yes, it’s true: we have reached the point where our baby boy is now a big school aged kid! Jackson started this morning in Ms. Sissler’s class (along with 27 other kids) in the neighborhood school, Lake Harriet Lower, conveniently located two blocks away.

As is probably easy to see in many of my photos, we’ve pretty much had rain on every day of our trip. Usually not all day, but at least part of the day has been wet. It goes with the territory when you travel in spring. (It’s also why the whole family got new waterproof […]
Today was a very important day. After almost two weeks of it being just the two of us, this was the day Mike arrived! We attempted to get up and get ready early, failed, but Mike thoughtfully was on a delayed plane, so we had time to run to the bakery for more chocolate croissants and other […]
Another sight AJ really wanted to see in Paris was the Louvre. I’m not really sure why he had such an interest in it, but he really wanted to go. I was more than a little daunted by its massive size, but if he really wanted to see it that badly, I was willing to […]
