Radish Dip
Last week we received our first shipment from Rains & Son Backyard Farm’s CSA, which was started by my sweet cousin and her husband (and son).

Who Does Henry Look Like?
Everyone is always asking me this…”Who does Henry look like?”. And I never know quite what to say. I think he looks a lot like Ella did as a baby, but as you can see…he’s got a little bit of everyone mixed in there! What do you think?

Dance Baby Dance
I have been planning this post for quite a while, deciding on my favorite dance videos in our home movie collection. But I saved it for a time when I needed a smile. This week I need a smile, and so I present you with our favorite music videos. It’s no MTV…I think it’s better. ...
In Remembrance of a Lovely Lady
The world lost a wonderful woman this week. Michael’s grandmother passed away at the age of eighty-eight. She was so very special to us, and we loved her dearly. I can’t tell you how much we are going to miss her. We loved to have her over for dinner (always salmon, she loved salmon and...
