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!

Canoeing and grandma's day with the little angels

During our family get-together in Missouri over Memorial Day, we decided to take Missi and Kathi canoeing, along with my cousin Nate and his wife Mendy.  My mom volunteered to watch Lindsay and their daughter Trisha, who was 6 weeks younger than Lindsay.

We went to Bennett Springs State Park, where the girls wanted to go every time we were in Missouri.  They loved to feed the fish at the trout hatchery.  So we headed out, rented a couple of canoes and had a great afternoon on the river.

Not wanting to take too much advantage of mom, we didn't stay out all day.  What did we come home to find?  The babies were playing quietly, and mom was vacuuming.... Vacuuming up all the dirt from the planter they had pulled over... you know, the one mom sat there watching them, saying 'they can't pull that planter off'.  Everyone/thing was fine - except the plant.  But it didn't stop mom from watching our kids many more times in the future.  She was great like that!
It wasn't me, really........

Who? Us? Cause trouble??
