Valuable

The boys and I took a walking/biking trip to the fountains at the IU School of Music this morning.  It was Zeke’s first time playing in the water…the fountain is a giant!   Afterwards, we drank lemonade on the bench out in front of The Copper Cup, and then headed back home.  Despite the heat, … Continue reading →

Cheese!

Zeke is full of life!  Quite the explorer 15 month old!  He’s learning to say cheese (for the camera and to eat) and it’s the sweetest thing.  He rides his little tractor around the driveway and down our street.  He wanders into our neighbors’ yards, approaches strangers at the library and restaurants, and charms the … Continue reading →

Technically, he’ll be working for IU’s Residential Programs & Services department.  Food + Marketing = Happy Chris!   What a blessing this is!  We … Continue reading →

Kaboom!

Happy 4th of July!  We spent this morning downtown for the annual Bloomington Fourth of July parade.  It was the first parade the boys had seen and they loved it!   American flags, candy, loud emergency vehicles, music, hula hoopers, horses, the works.   Zeke tasted his first lollipop, too!   Then tonight we had … Continue reading →
