This past weekend Patty and I took the kids (and Olivia) to an Earth Day Fair at the Dairy Barn. No, not the Dairy Barn drive-through convenience stores on Long Island. The Dairy Barn is part of the Anne Springs Greenway in Fort Mill, South Carolina. Maegan and Olivia took off hiking down a long [...]
I was just sent this photo of Darah in dance lessons. This reminded me of when Maegan took dance lessons. Here’s a photo from a 2005 blog post, which would make Darah the same age as Maegan was at the time:
Last week I got to take the kids to Florida, but Patty couldn’t make it due to her nursing school. We did a lot of swimming, some mini-golf, went to the Palm Beach Zoo, and went to the beach. Here are photos from the trip.

My family drove up to visit me for the first time since I began working in Washington DC back in March. It’s taken so long because they needed a time when Patty was between semesters at nursing school and Maegan was not in school or camp either. Patty had her final exam on Monday and [...]

Yesterday was Darah’s last day at her child care. She’s been going to the preschool program at Central Steele Creek Presbyterian Church since last summer. It’s a great. program and Darah loved it. It was a Tuesday through Thursday program from 9am to 1pm. That worked out great until now but with me moving to [...]
Hey, whatever works.
