Last week after Aaron’s GI check up (we’re STILL trying to find the cause of his issues), we took the boys to The Hershey Story (since we were up that way and all). We wanted to take advantage of their participation in the Blue Star Museums program before it expires Labor Day (free admission for [...]
Are you part of the Mamarazzi? Are you a compulsive picture taker? Do you stalk your family with a camera? It’s ok – there’s safety in numbers! Our three year old has been all about playing football and swords since Daddy has returned home from being TDY all summer. This has been almost a daily [...]
This week we took the boys to the Choo Choo Barn to see the model train display. I have to say, it far exceeded my expectations. We even followed the sign at the end that says to feel free to go around again. Even after two trips around the display we had to drag our [...]
The last part of our road trip saw us enjoy the alumni lunch. The class of 1960 was honored for their 50th reunion, and four people were inducted into the society of honors. We were there because my husband was recognized as an Outstanding Young Alum. The staff was outstanding everywhere we went. The hotel [...]
This is a picture from the Confederate camp at the Army Heritage and Education Center. It was part of their Armed Forces Day event. This particular area sparked a good discussion about our family history. I was able to impart to our 8 year old son about how his great-great-great grand father was captured by [...]
The boys have said and doe some silly things lately. I wish I would’ve written some of them down. I do have one from each of them that stick out though. Aaron: He says, “all the time,” after everything he feels is important. “Can I have a snack all the time?” “You need to make [...]
Last weekend there were many Armed Forces Day events in our area. We chose to do the Kid’s Fun Run on our post. Zach ran a mile. That was the given length for his age group. We’re proud of him for finishing. All he kept saying was, “I didn’t finish last!” All kids who participated [...]
How are you spending your St. Patty’s Day this year? We usually go out to dinner so I can have corned beef since I’m the only one who eats it. My husband is almost pure Welsh, so that’s his excuse to get out of it. The kids just aren’t fans. This year since St. Patty’s [...]
Have you watched the show Who Do You Think You Are? My husband and I have watched it the last two weeks now. It’s fascinating. Of course I’m semi-geeky and think family history is fascinating. I spent many years middle school through college researching my family tree online and in various courthouses and libraries. Then [...]
We rang in 2010 in a fairly uneventful way in our house. I cooked bacon ranch wings and strombolis by request. We played games, and spent family time together. I’ve come to the realization lately that I will need new jeans soon. I’ve always gotten mine at Old Navy because they had a cut that [...]
