Apple Picking

There's nothing like spending a perfect crystal clear day picking apples with friends. The 4 of us went up to Saratoga Apple in Schuylerville, NY with our friends, the Guyons, for another great afternoon of picking apples, drinking cider and eating donuts.


We started this great tradition 5 years ago and we look forward to it many future years to come.

Charlotte, Our Little Pre-Schooler

A big milestone happened in our lives today...Charlotte started pre-school. Part of Chris and I never wanted this day to come, but it did. Our little peanut loved it and is looking forward towards going back on Tuesday. Charlotte is going to Kiddie Car Pre-School right around the corner from our house.


This year she is going 2 days a week and then next year she will move up to 3 days.


We are so proud of our little shy girl.

Completely Nuts

The people, in masses, are again doing exactly what their 7 saviors are telling them to do. This time Obama speech to school kids about their responsibility to learn and stay in school is in their cross hairs. ARE YOU KIDDING ME!!!

Read the speech...you tell me what is wrong with this. What kind of secret undercover subliminal message is the president trying to plant in our brain with this speech?? Someone help me out here because I don't see anything wrong with it. Maybe some conservative republican out there can enlighten me? When I was a kid, I use to read letters from Reagan addressed to school kids in school, and my father (yes, he's a little liberal) didn't complain to school or prevent me from going .

These people against the speech are the same people that want to allow christian religion in public schools. So it's ok to push a PERSONAL religious belief on our kids, but the President of the United States can't address kids about their responsibility to learn and stay in school, because it's political?

These people are completely nuts!!!
