Memorial Day

This blog is a ghost town. So much has happened since I last posted and rather than playing catch up, I'll just start with the present.

Since we were in town for Memorial Day, I thought we ought to do something fun and family friendly. We started out our day with homemade pancakes and strawberries. Having learned how easy it is to make pancakes from scratch, I have permanently banished Bisquick from our home.

Davie is an enthusiastic eater and enjoyed his meal.

Ben is an enthusiastic poser and enjoyed posing and then telling me my homemade pancakes were not good. Humph.

Yes, we ate breakfast with laundry on the table and my dining room has become a dumping ground for diet coke, amongst other things. Don't judge me.

Next, we made our way to the Aerospace Museum at Hill Air Force Base. It felt like an appropriate thing to do, and we even bumped into Senator Bennett while we were there. We felt like great Americans.

Ben actually really enjoyed looking at all the planes. And posing. He's a bit of a dandy. There were two hangers full of planes and outside was a bone yard of huge planes. It was pretty cool.

This is what happens when you suggest that Ben smile for the camera.


Davie and his little thunder thighs crashed midway through our tour. This little non-walking 15-month-old is 19 pounds of delicious fluff. I love him.
