My brother Jeff and SIL Tracy invited us to go to a wine class at Balabans, a restaurant close to their house. In the class we learned about the difference between French and Californian wines.

The Perfect Apple Pie
I have only made apple pie two times, the last time was in the Fall of 2004! The only reason I know that, is because I wanted to use the original recipe I tried, and it was taken from Kraft’s Food and Family magazine. I was surprised when I looked at the date on the… >> View Post
Best Part of the Field Trip
Nathan went on his first field trip with his Preschool 4 class this past Wednesday to the Post Office. Jeremi and I were so nervous about this field trip, because we had to leave his car seat at school and then they assigned mothers of kids in the class to volunteer and drive 2-3 kids… >> View Post

Nathan’s First Soccer Game

For some reason, my kids LOVE eating at buffets! Look what I found… >> View Post

First Soccer Practice
Instead of doing soccer lessons at Vetta, I decided to put Nathan on an actual soccer team this fall. My friend Cammie at work sends her son to a Catholic school that is in the same area as Nathan’s Lutheran school. She had her son on the pre-k team last year and told me she… >> View Post

What happened when I asked Nathan to clean his room…
Sometimes the evenings are a little hectic, and the other night I told Nathan to clean up all of the toys off of his floor in his room. Nathan has a wheel barrow in his room that stores most of his cars, trains and planes. Well, I was in the living room cleaning up even… >> View Post

I didn’t get to… >> View Post
