We’ve made it to Columbia, and yesterday Tommy got to go on a four mile bike ride with Peter on the MKT Trail! He had a blast.

On Wednesday, we managed to get over to Rick and Becky’s to see my mom’s side of the family. Great-Grandpa reading Elizabeth the book he and Audrey gave her for her birthday. I don’t know how many more times we’ll have together, so I found it really sweet. Great Grandpa of four! Tommy got to […]
I had a chance to get some more great Nona and Janie pictures. And some variations on a theme…Nona with all her great-grandkids… …Nona and the six of us… …and a four generations picture!…
Derek’s parents had one last day on their membership to the Henry Ford/Greenfield Village, so we squeezed in a trip to the museum while everyone was in town! They have all sorts of vehicles there, including a bunch of train cars… Tommy loved all the cars, of course, and Elizabeth was super excited to see […]
Hanging Out in Royal Oak

Decorating Easter Eggs

I had never dyed eggs with the kids before. I know, I’m a horrible mom in the arts and crafts department. But with three extra sets of hands around this week, I figured it was a good year to start! We did the basic crayons-and-food-coloring kind, and the kids got a huge kick out of […]
