Flashback Friday

Not yet three years old but just like that Lloyd can be the subject of a Flashback. Here's the birthday guy celebrating his first birthday in Denver with a Harrison birthday tradition, the funfetti cake. This Sunday he'll be the first in the family to celebrate a Minneapolis birthday. Happy 3rd Birthday to Lloyd!
 

Harrison Update

In the past week or so, Peter, Jessa, and Rosie went to Slovenia. 

Rosie celebrated Polish Independence Day at her daycare.

Owen practiced his eating.

Lloyd and Freddie went to Mall of America.

And I ran a 10k.

Flashback Friday

On a brisk May day in 1996, I ran my first 5k. Tomorrow I'm running a 10k so I thought it was a good time to look back. The race I ran back then was the Dino Dash in Milwaukee. The kids came to cheer me on and they posed with a race mascot.

Flashback Friday

In November of 2017, we visited Peter and Jessa in Morocco. Our visit to the beautiful blue town of Chefchaouen was memorable. 

 

Boo

Owen started Halloween a full week early. The weekend before the big day, this little avocado got on his costume and went to a local event.

On actual Halloween, Warsaw got a head start thanks to their time zone. This little bunny got dressed up for daycare.

Owen got a lot of mileage out of his first Halloween and met his first jack-o-lantern.

Up in Minneapolis, Lloyd and Freddie were not left out in the cold. They enjoyed some Halloween fun, including trick-or-treating and a party at John's office the night before. 
 

Flashback Friday

This was Mary's first Halloween in 1992. I'm happy to report that she survived the trauma. By the way, that's 4-year old Peter as Ernie and 2-year old John as Bert.

Flashback Friday

For three falls, we were football parents. John bravely took to the field as a sophomore in high school, without any previous football playing experience. Here he is in his first season, on October 20, 2005. We enjoyed watching each and every game, and were proud of John for all the hard work he put into it.
