Welcome! This is written for our children (with a long trip down memory lane), but we're glad you stopped by! We hope some of our adventures will inspire you, and perhaps some of the things we've learned will help you along your way. So - with some laughter (from a disinherited daughter ☺) at the idea that mom might be able to doing more on the internet than check her email - here we go!

Happy 1st Birthday!

I'm terrible at party planning.  I've always known this, but it's even more glaringly apparent looking back through old pictures.  So, sorry kids........

Lindsay had been sick so her first birthday was an extra quiet affair.  Her grandparents and some family friends joined us for the Butterfield tradition of chocolate cake, served picnic style on a white sheet on the floor.

Maybe someday we'll get the video transferred from VHS and can link it here... that's where all the pictures are!


the birthday girl!

snap links, blocks and...
stacking rings.. what more could you want?
just about partied out
