Celebrating Easter

Today we had an egg hunt in the backyard & dyed eggs on the driveway.

Bike Appreciation

Thanks to Grandma Lovie & Grandpa John for helping us purchase new bikes for the kids as early Easter gifts. We also got a carrier for Seth's bike so the five of us can go on rides together.

Patio Fire

Today was also the perfect opportunity for a fire and s'mores.

Jumpoline Day

With an abundance of time at home, we were eager to set up the trampoline, or "jumpoline," as Emerson calls it.

Making Cookies

Made Grandma Jo's cookies today...they didn't last long.

April Fools' Day Breakfast

Junk breakfast in honor of April Fools' Day!

Stay at Home Activities

We're filling our time at home with Disney Plus, board games, lots of outside play, crafts, and phones/devices (especially for keeping in touch with others).

Making Brownies

Today we tried out Ohio First Lady Fran DeWine's microwave brownie recipe - pretty good!

Home School Begins

We're all up and running safely from home during the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic and Stay at Home Ohio order. Home school is a new adventure for us!

Arts Castle Gala

Kit danced beautifully during the Arts Castle's Gala and award presentation. She had her fan club on hand to wish her well. It was extra-special that Grandpa John P. could be there.

County Fair Carnival

I chaired the carnival committee for a second year in a row, and now I'm ready to retire :) The day was a success with lots of smiling faces, families having fun, and significant funds raised for the school.

Wedding & Rings

Kit hosted Gianna, and they had so much fun playing wedding. Winnie had Penny over, and their favorite activity was swinging from the rings. Emerson played with everyone!

Weekend Happenings

Winnie and Doc assembled Winnie's new desk. Grandma and Grandpa stopped over, and we went to the playground.

Playing Storytime

The girls put on a storytime for Emerson, including a train craft.

Cheer Camp

Kit and Winnie got to participate in Olentangy's Cheer Camp with Rylan and Camdyn.

Bathroom Shenanigans

Doc-Kit-Winnie Dance

Doc, Kit, and Winnie enjoyed Berlin High School's Daddy-Daughter Dance. John and Sarah were there, too. The girls' favorite was the dads dance-off. We hosted the Lubbens for dinner after the event.

Valentine Fun at Cosi

Seth had little treats and cards waiting for us Valentine's Day morning. We went to Cosi and enjoyed lunch at Melt.

Monday Night Storytime

Emerson loves storytime, Ms. Bridget, and the other regulars.
