I jumped at the chance to get family pictures at our favorite apple orchard. I was a little disappointed that the blossoms weren’t in full bloom yet, but I think the pics turned out pretty cute. And nothing has made me feel more middle aged than bringing the dog to family pictures. I fought a…
Blog post courtesy of Halle: We started our day by dropping Mave and Gwen off at school, and then the four of us went on the Undervelten tour. It was a tour of an underground bunker where people would go during air raids. Our tour guide was awesome, and we learned so many cool facts…
Mave came out in the morning to snuggle Nat. She’d gently lift her blanket up and climb in. She burrowed down and stayed for like an hour. I was so jealous. Cause who wouldn’t want to snuggle with this bedhead?After many fun days of sight seeing, we were all ready for a little R&R. We…
