My Swagger Wagon

admin | May 27, 2010

Let me just say for the record… I clean, I cook, I bake, I even make a mean jello mold, I have tea parties,  I wipe noses and bottoms, I put on school plays, I play dress up…and I don’t think I make it look nearly this cool.

Marriott Girl part 2

admin | May 26, 2010

We enjoyed roasting our hobo dinner, our marshmallows and our piggies at the camp fire that night, checked everyone for ticks and snuggled into our sleeping bags for a much earned rest.
And then it started.
Raindrops on the tent.
What a sweet sound.
As long as the water stays out!  Which it did, thanks to the rain cover.
We [...]

Happy [...]

And when he is surrounded with it, he will want to pretend he is [...]

Dear Tetreault Family,

admin | May 3, 2010

I am back at my home, and thoughts of my time with all of you fills me with joy.  The last couple of weeks were more amazing and exhausting than I had imagined they would be.  And as I remember all that the time in California held, I am lonely.
I have always been extremely proud [...]
