Our last full day of our trip was spent driving to Maine so that Jeremiah and Tony could have Maine lobster for dinner. How does Maine lobster vary from the other 500 states we were in on this trip? Good question. The travel to get there was fun, none the less. Before we could head…

***WARNING: Post is FULL of pictures and is very long. Tuesday Tony and I got up early to head into town and catch a train to New York City. We crammed lots of sightseeing and WALKING into three days. I’m not feeling like a play-by-play so pictures will have to tell the story: Grand Central…

Since Day One was so full of action, we slept in on Day Two then hit the road for more! The Sharpes took us to Rhode Island to swim at the beach. Before heading out for a swim, we ate lunch right on the coast. Mind you, I don’t like seafood. I was just trying…

I’m finally getting around to posting pictures from the trip Tony and I took in late August. Here’s the happenings of our first day: We flew into Hartford, Connecticut to visit with the Sharpe family. However, there was no going home to rest for us. We were on a mission to see how many states/restaurants/historical…

The Rice family has been uber busy. After the hurricane hit us, Tony was out of town for the week. Thank goodness for his mom and sister. Stephanie didn’t have power for the entire week so she and James spent lots of time here. Tony’s mom came down Tuesday while I was at work to…

The aftershocks of Hurricane Ike hit Columbus today. All I can say is that I feel HORRIBLE for the people that went through it in Texas. The wind blew so hard here that drywall actually fell from our ceiling upstairs. Crazy! Something must have hit the house. We heard thumps but aren’t sure of damage.…

One of our favorite events of the summer is the Ohio State Fair. It has to be the coolest fair in the country. The food, the rides, the entertainment, the extremely odd people to gawk at, did I mention the food? It’s the REAL reason we love the fair. I missed out last year. I…

Yesterday was my 32nd birthday. Strange. Anyway, I just wanted to thank everyone who called, wrote, emailed, SENT MONEY, etc. It was a nice day. Yesterday for dinner I had take out chicken lettuce wraps from PF Chang’s while the rest of the family feasted on Wendy’s. Nice to have a night off from figuring…

So I finally am getting around to posting pictures of Ethan’s birthday cake experience and his 12 month pictures with his elephant. Let’s start with the boring stuff and work our way up. Ethan’s stats at his 12 month appointment were normal for him and strange for me. He’s 31.25 inches long (85%) with an…
