It's nice having my mom living near Louisville again. My siblings and I gathered at her 5-acre home for a quentessential Labor Day celebration

First few weeks of preschool

Fri, 11 Sep 2009 18:27:00 GMT

Last year I was so excited about Piper starting school that we made a big deal out of it. Both Peter and I took her to school. We took lots of photos. Then it turned out to be a big bust. She just wasn't ready so we pulled her out after only two weeks. She's an introvert, like her mama, so she needed some more time at home.

Piper's 4th Birthday Party!

Mon, 31 Aug 2009 18:06:00 GMT

The party was Sunday August 31 starting at 10:30. Although her actual birthday was a few weeks ago, we put it off until this weekend so Peter could get through several tough work weeks that included weekend code moves. Unfortunately, he came down with the flu Friday night so he missed it after all.

Our tuliptree (PG13 picture)

Every year right about now, our beautiful tuliptree decides to grace us with its majesty. Not in the form of flowers (that's in late April/early May). Not by shading our front yard to help keep us cool.

Bernheim Arboretum (Friday, June 19, 2009)

Wed, 01 Jul 2009 01:20:00 GMT

We met up at the Green Visitor's Center and decided to walk through the little trail around the back of the center where they had some fairy houses set up. They were a little worse for wear because of the rain, but the littles didn't seem to mind too much. My daughter was mostly concerned with where the fairies had gone off to. She wanted to see REAL fairies.

Bryant's Blueberries

Wed, 01 Jul 2009 00:40:00 GMT

We went blueberry picking on Saturday, June 13. (I know, I know. I'm behind. But I've been BUSY!)

I had never heard of Bryant's Blueberries until this year and it seems like I've heard it mentioned from at least a half a dozen different sources.
