Hoppy Easter!
We reduced reused and recycled this Easter….we used last year’s eggs, bought the boys’ outfits at a consignment shop and Eleanor is wearing a vintage Polly Flinders dress circa 1980something. Check me out wearing the same dress oh so long ago, and FYI – we had to have the hem taken out for Ella to wear...
Earth Hour 2009

We spent almost the entire day in the dining room creating masterpieces, and sometimes just relaxing. Michael made curtains, I...
Memories of the Uncle Al Show
Cincinnati treasure, Al Lewis of the locally famous Uncle Al Show, passed away on February 28th 2009. Rest in peace Uncle Al. Here is a picture from when Michael attended the Uncle Al show with his cousin Emily. Can you spot him? Hint: back row The Uncle Al Show:
Dinner Guests
A few nights back during dinner I kept seeing Max bend over in his seat, and whispering….so I peeked around the table and saw that we had dinner guests. The baby Alaskas were dining alongside their friend Max. Max ~ Age Three
