St. Francis of Assisi’s yearly fundraiser, Dogtoberfest, brought the whole family out for a day of fun, games & wags with Hanna and Casper. Our normally mischievous pooches were perfectly behaved for almost the entire day. OK, Hanna let out a low growl at another husky and Casper snagged a BBQ right off of Matt’s plate, but other than that - they were angels.

“Are we there yet?”

Here are some photos from our visit to a corn maze a few weeks ago. The kids had a great time and the weather was beautiful. Enjoy.

Here’s to wishing everyone a safe fun Halloween! We will post photos of our ghouls and goblins after tonight and hope to see photos of everyone else’s as well.

In the spirit of fun and since we didn’t actually get to carve our pumpkin this year just because we were so busy. Click HERE to carve a virtual pumpkin.

Happy Halloween!!

and a green one, a purple one, a pink one. Some of you probably know what I’m referring to. We’ve been trying to potty train Zoe. Really diligently lately, because she’s started to mess her diaper and then remove it - which I’m sure as you can guess could be quite a problem.

Last night we had just gotten home and were fixing dinner like any other night. I saw Zoe playing around her little kitchen playset then walk over to and open the gate to the laundry room and then open the door to the bathroom. I asked her what she was doing and she said, ” I need to potty daddy!”

Stef went in to help her, and about 10 minutes later they both emerged with the declaration that she had done both #1 and #2. We were both so excited and happy and made a huge deal about it. We hope that the trend will continue.
