It has been a long, very snowy, very cold winter in Minnesota and we just couldn’t take it any more. We escaped to Cancun for a few days to catch some sun and enjoy the outdoors without hat and coat. The weather was great: sunny and 70’s every day. It was quite windy, but compared […]

We are spending Christmas in Vermont with Mr. Guru’s family.  How did we get here? We drove. It may sound insane, but it was so much cheaper to drive than fly that we had to go for it. Besides, this time we didn’t know how hard it would be so we could go with ignorant […]

Walter is two years old!!! A few weeks ago, we had an early birthday party for him. It worked out since Grandma Schoolcraft was in town. Since Walter’s real birthday falls on Memorial Day weekend, it’s hard to get people together for the actual day.
Walter has been building his vocabulary so fast I can’t […]

If you’ve been watching our Flickr photos, you know that Mr. Guru and I just got back from several days in New York City. Walter got to spend some quality time with Aunt Sarah and his Minnesota grandparents while we got a real vacation. A good time was had by all!

We arrived the Friday […]

  
Orlando is smack in the middle of the big peninsula that is Florida. But since Minnesota is smack in the middle of the continent, we figured it was worth the hour drive to go see the ocean.  So with our bathing suits and sand toys in tow, we set out on Wednesday for Daytona Beach. […]

We’re taking a family vacation in Florida. Actually, Mr. Guru has a technology conference down here, so we all came down a few days early to have some fun in the sun.  Even though it’s still just fall in Minnesota, the summery weather here seems wonderful! It’s been in the upper 70’s and sunny with a […]

Walter the Traveling Boy added Chicago to his list of destinations this week. He came along with my mom and I on a road trip. It was just a quick excursion so that I could audition for a little game show called Jeopardy! (Don’t worry; if I make it on the show, you’ll […]

We are having a long weekend at Walter’s grandparents’ home in Vermont.  We’ve had gorgeous weather and we’ve all been enjoying it from their deck.  Saturday we went to a fun wedding and reception. Walter looked very handsome in his dressy duds.  He got lots of special attention, like first dibs on the appetizer buffet (yummy fruit […]

  
We thought it would come in Vermont. We thought it would come in Europe. We thought it might come in Minnesota. But it came in Maui!  Walter’s first tooth poked through today!  Today also happens to be my birthday, so it was a nice present for me too!
Yesterday we did a little touristy shopping, then attended […]

We have continued our leisurely ways and are having a relaxing time.  Since Walter didn’t care for swimming in the ocean, he tried out the pool with Daddy. It was a little scary at first, but, as you can see from this video, once he figured out the splashing, he had a good time.
 

Yesterday, we […]
