Easter was a super action-packed day, and we were blessed with excellent weather! That meant tons of time outside, including an egg hunt with more than 100 candy-filled orbs for only six kids, two of which don’t yet eat candy. There was even a surprise visit from the Easter Bunny, who hopped in and out…

Getting Ready for Easter!
We made one attempt last year to dye eggs for Easter. But, given C was only six months old, he didn’t really know what was going on. Fast forward one year, and it’s a whole new ball game. C was a very active participant in this year’s egg dying experience.
Ode to Pearl Jam
We interrupt what has turned into the Colin show for a very important topic – Pearl Jam. The legendary rockers killed it in Hartford in late October. I was lucky enough to be there to witness it. Here’s a little something for all the fans out there… CHECK OUT SOME VIDEO:
A Soaring Tribute
One week ago, we lost one of the greatest men to have ever lived. After a long few days laying my dad to rest, friends and family gathered at the house for some great food and my dad’s favorite beer – BBC Steel Rail. As a final tribute that day, everyone sent a balloon soaring…
Kids Laugh at the Darnedest Things
So, it never ceases to amaze what successfully distracts and/or amuses Colin when he’s fussy or we’re trying to entertain him. In a recent installment of “Kids Laugh at the Darnedest Things”, C decided that his father jumping was the funniest thing…ever. Hey, whatever works!
The Excitement of an Overpass!!
For some reason, going into a tunnel or under an overpass is a very exciting occurance – at least to Colin. His eyes get all wide with wonder once the sun makes a temporary exit (see clip below). To each their own, we suppose…
A Souvenir from the Desert
As many of you know (or have guessed from various blog posts), we did not return from the Abu Dhabi alone. No. In fact, by the time we touched down in the U.S., Megan was already six months pregnant. Baby Plum, as we affectionately call him or her (we are going to be surprised) due…
Enjoying Life at the Dead Sea
Though we packed in several sites with just one weekend in Jordan, our first home base was all about relaxation. The Movenpick Dead Sea Resort had a “tucked away” feel, with its namesake body of water the big draw. Being in the Dead Sea was like no other experience. The water was undeniably salty –…
We call “Du over”!
So, our last concert was Madonna in the newly coined Du Arena, poised to be a fitting and fabulous end to what was nearly a dozen concerts in our two years here. Unfortunately, it was memorable for the wrong reasons. First, being June, it was hot. Super hot. And, being packed into an outdoor arena…
