Brothers minecrafting
Unalike in looks (though they are the two who most people think look like me), but much alike in personality. They often have trouble getting along, but they share a love of Minecraft.

A weekend out
Last weekend, Bob and I were able to get a night away in the finger lakes. It’s one of our favorite places to go because it’s laid-back and beautiful. We also looked at a lake front cottage that was adorable and way out of our price range. We went to two wineries – one we’d…

Grant’s father, the hero
Two days ago, we got home from daycare and work, and Grant wanted to ride his scooter. It wasn’t where we remembered it being, so we looked more places – the garage, the cars, the other side of the house… nothing. So we reviewed the footage from the doorbell. We saw it was by the…

Shark teeth
Grant recently had his first adult tooth growing in behind his baby teeth. We call these shark teeth, because they’re in rows. In due time, one of his bottom teeth became loose and wiggly.

The twins each have a pair of sandals and for a short while, they each lost one of the pair. And then when we took a trip to NYC, Henry forgot to bring shoes, but we had the lost individual sandals in the car. So for the entire trip, Henry had to wear mismatched sandals.…

13th anniversary
Today is Bob and my thirteenth anniversary. Apparently the lace anniversary! Bob bought me wine and I bought him dinner, so we got pretty close to hitting the nail on the head, in terms of traditional gifting. Here are my favorite selfies (usies) from the past year, since August 1, 2021. Click to see the…

Reading
I’ve been doing a fair amount of reading for the last, uh, 103 weeks or so. On my kindle I’ve read 20 books so far this year, which feels low? But I don’t think actually is. I’ve read between 32 and 35 books each year on my kindle between 2019 and 2021. I also have…
