Ella and Ella's boyfriend, Zachary, having fun, plotting against Frosty. This is from Zachary's cute little blog, BabyHill.   

A great way to start the month.

With the shortened work week, Ellen decided to sleep in a little today. As I saw the sun come up, I knew it was going to be a gorgeous day. Little did I know how gorgeous it would turn out to be. Ella had slept the entire night in her crib without waking up at all. I think she's still pooped from her parties this past weekend.  Since both ...

This past weekend was Ellen's birthday and as usual, we had to throw a party. Now, we've done the redneck thing, not once but twice and we've all become Canucks for the night, so what were we to do this time... Maybe someone should have told her that it was her 21st birthday, but alas we missed that. So this time she decided to go punk rock with ...

It's been a while since I blogged. Sheesh have I been busy and on top of that my Tablet PC died. It had a good run for 4 years, so it was about time I replaced it.  Yes, the rumors are true, I did buy a Mac to replace it, but I'll save that story for another post.

I haven't blogged for a couple of days for various reasons. The biggest reason is that Mother's day was kinda hard on everyone. Sure, we were with friends, but it didn't help that Emma wasn't physically here for Ellen's first Mother's Day. It was really difficult for me to simply buy a couple of cards for Ellen, let alone a gift, so I just kept ...

Don't forget you can follow our progress using this Google Map I put together! As is common with most trips, we've discovered that there's really too much to do in the Southwest for one trip. Today, we headed north from Mesa, AZ, to Montezuma Castle National Monument and then briefly stopped in Flagstaff. Sheesh, Flagstaff has a zillion ...

[YouTube:XQAFGKgtgas]If you can't see this video, click here. Last evening we drove through the first part of what will be a multi-day adventure through the desert. The mountains were spectacular. We were going to stop in Indio, CA for the night but fortunately, they were having a huge country music festival and everything booked. I say ...
