First Purchase

Now that we are Nutmegers (that's what you are called when you move to Connecticut, I don't know why) we need a…CHAINSAW!!! Watching Derek with his new chainsaw was like watching the kids on Christmas morning. He could not stop grinning & sawing.

Grayson's Dream Come True

About a year ago Gray was telling me that he would love to dissect an owl pellet & see what the owl ate. Well this week at school Grayson's dream came true. Yep, he got to dissect that pellet, line up all the bones, figure out that the owl had eaten a rat (there were also a few extra skulls), and glue those bones to a poster where he was able to get creative and color it!! What more could a 10 year old want. I was going to put up a picture of an owl pellet, but I didn't want anyone to lose their lunch.

Sunday Hike

We have a few acres here in Connecticut so we decided we needed to explore our backyard. That meant going on a hike. About 10 minutes from our house we discovered a waterfall that leads to Jackson Cove. How cool is this...
The kids LOVED the waterfall, they took their shoes off & played in the water for at least an hour. What a great way to spend the afternoon.

Grayson's Room

Gray is an organizer, he loves to help if organizing is involved. This is what your sons entry looks like when his goal is to open every single box in his room. Some of you are worrying about the fire hazard, I assure you we dug him out of his room a little while later.
