We're probably doing it wrong.
Nerd Alert! I made a giant list of family/kid movies, sorted by date released: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/e/2PACX-1vR0ZqqG-sUXp8LFq_KarsRIIUeFj7odV7BIe9VSycdCG8vrn99aO9FoEG1RfUnuEijyehf7WgyDmOVS/pubhtml Our family started movie nights a couple years ago, but it was sporadic. Last year, we started doing it every Saturday night pretty regularly. Mr. A also makes homemade pizza and popcorn. Like all media decisions, we had a hard... Continue Reading →
Here's Part 2 of our first big trip--actually being in Washington, DC. (Part 1 was our flying experience) I booked us at the Hampton Inn near the Convention Center. It was pretty near to two Metro stations, and since that was our only mode of transport, it was very important. Back when I was traveling... Continue Reading →
Two weekends ago, we decided to brave the Clark County Fair. It was our first big fair experience, and it was certainly an adventure! First, thank goodness we brought the stroller. (I recently got a double umbrella stroller, which is perfect for this kind of thing!) We weren't sure if we would need it, because... Continue Reading →
Once again we had an epic family Fourth of July! We started off with our traditional holiday photo: So last year, we picked cherries and then went to Timberline. The year before, we went to Timberline and then on a little hike to waterfall. This year, we did all three! We started out by picking... Continue Reading →
After last year's successful trip to the coast, I have been so excited to do it again! This year we decided to go for two nights, to give us more time to play. We stayed in Seaside this year, to be closer to more action. (As opposed to last year in Tillamook, where just... Continue Reading →
On some Thursdays, I'll share something random that I'm really liking, enjoying, or appreciating. Just a little post to share a little snippet of life right now. I'd love to know if you also like these things, and what you're randomly into these days! Last week, we spent a couple days in Seattle. It was... Continue Reading →
Tons of photos - no words really necessary. 🙂
December has been a busy month! We got our tree on the 8th, put lights on it on the 10th, and finally got some ornaments (and living room lights) up on the 21st. Oops. (We also got some larger outdoor strands for the front of our house...those are still in their boxes.) Pictures with Santa... Continue Reading →
At first we weren't going to do anything for the twins' first birthday. See, we still don't know that many people here, and their birthday falls near Thanksgiving, when a lot of people leave town, plus I didn't want to plan a "thing" or even have an official "to-do." Plus of course, the babies don't... Continue Reading →
Now that autumn is really upon us, there are some fun seasonal activities to participate in. At the very least, it's a great excuse to get out of the house on weekends. Two weekends ago, we returned to the pumpkin patch that we visited last October, when I looked like this: Now that bump is... Continue Reading →
We Have Twins?!
