The [Only] Man of the House

Port Jeff Ferry Sunset

The Port Jeff ferry really is the best way home to CT when the last thing you want to deal with is traffic at the end of your week. We were fortunate enough to have a glorious sunset say goodbye to us as we left Long Island.

Trip to Six Flags!

We were fortunate enough to get 4 free tickets to Six Flags and managed to squeeze a visit in just before school started. The park was a nice upgrade from our annual trip to Lake Compounce.

So…, now I’ve got one in 1st grade and one in 4th. Am I looking older to anyone else?!

Virtual Playdates

All the benefits of a real playdate…, with only half the mess!

Good thing Grandma got the pool ready in time for the beautiful Memorial Day weekend!

Springfield Museums

We took an inpromptu trip to Springfield, MA and visited several museums situated around a Dr. Seuss sculpture garden. It was great – pay one price for all of them and they’re all within walking distance. Highly recommended.

Long Time…, No Post

Sorry blog, but Facebook seems to have replaced you as a place where I share stories and videos about my family. I’m not sure what to do about our relationship at the moment. I just wanted you to know that I haven’t forgotten about you.

Take the Cake

My mother-in-law and I spent half a day at Take the Cake – a great little bakery in Guilford, CT. This was a silent auction prize my wife won for me at last year’s Taste of the Nation. We both had a great time – the staff was great to work with. Oh…, and you’re all invited to my house for dessert.

Getting Her Ears Pierced

As part of her 8th birthday, my daughter and a friend went to the mall to get their ears pierced. She did awesome! Nervous, at first, but wait ’till you see the smile when she looks in the mirror.

Apple Picking

Another family tradition is to go apple picking every year, and we had an absolutely gorgeous day to do it!
