A Trip to Fair Oaks Farm

A while ago we met my parents at Fair Oaks Farm. We had a fun time playing on their bounce pillow, seeing a cow give birth, watching the cows get milked, and eating some very tasty grilled cheese and cheese quesadilla for lunch.

Happy Anniversary

A successful married life requires falling in love many times, but always with the same person. Six years ago today I married my beautiful wife. Shannon, since that day I have fallen head over heels in love with you many times, and I look forward to all of our future adventures. Happy Anniversary!

A Horse Called “Applesauce”

Here is a good example of what our daughter looks like when she is about to burst with glee:
Libby walking "Applesauce" the horse

This picture is from a recent mom's group trip to a local therapy horse stable. Libby loved being around the horses, which likely means that we will need to eventually own a horse or send her to equestrian camp (I myself went for 3 years when I was growing up and loved the experience).

Ring Around the Rosie…

Libby playing "Ring Around the Rosie" at a birthday party:
Playing "Ring around the Rosie"

On a side note, the popular notion that "Ring Around the Rosie" is really a song about the bubonic plague is incorrect.
