The weather was perfect, so we spent a good part of the day outside playing in the backyard, grilling on the patio, and taking a trip to the dog park. We thought the kids would love the dog park - zillions of doggies happily running around, begging to play fetch, be petted, and talked to. […]

Michael and I just got back from Bonnie’s retirement party. We had a great time, getting to talk to relatives and many people Bonnie worked with. You could Bonnie had a huge impact on the other people in her department. They’re all sad to see her go (she officially retires 2 weeks from now), and […]

Today was Layne’s first time going to a dog park. We found one that wasn’t too far away and was fenced in called Muttland Meadows. I was expecting a small square area of fenced in dog poop and dandelions, really. But it turned out to be an awesome place - it’s 7 acres of fenced […]

After I dropped Owen off at school, and before I left for work, I did some crazy bush lopping outside. There was this huge bush next to the house — actually, I thought it was 2 or 3 bushes until I started cutting. I trimmed off at least 75% of it, and almost all of […]
