We just got back from our summer trip to visit Grandma & Grandpa Schoolcraft. We flew into Manchester, New Hampshire, and spent our first two nights with some college friends in Maine. They took us to the lovely beach in Kennebunkport. We got to dip our toes in the Atlantic, dig in the sand, watch […]

We took a big family vacation to Orlando this year. This is the last spring before we have to deal with school schedules, so we took a full two weeks.
April 2: We cashed in the credit card points that we weren’t able to use at Christmas (see Christmas post below) so that we could fly […]

We an unusual but fun-filled Christmas this year. We got started with a Christmas Eve celebration with Grandma & Grandpa Paxton here in the Twin Cities. We had a special treat this year, as Uncle Thom and his fiancee Molly were in town. We all attended the Christmas Eve service at my parents’ church. A […]

6/4: While riding home in the car, Walter turned around and exclaimed, “Mom, someone’s following us! How are we gonna shake ‘em?”
6/7: Abigail spotted Keith wearing his CPAP mask in bed and said “Nuk!”
6/13: Walter, as if presenting me with a bouquet: “Mommy, I picked some rocks for you!”
7/19: As I was struggling to extract […]

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 […]

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 […]
