This past Sunday our baby girl turned 12. We had our traditional birthday cake breakfast and present unwrapping. Taylor wanted to visit the Air and Space museum so that is exactly what we did! We had a great day checking out all of the aircraft and experiments. The kids got to fly a fighter jet, launch the space shuttle, fire a rocket, drive a jet pack on Mars, play on the playground, and on and on. We also took in a show at the planetarium (though both father and son fell asleep). It was a great day topped off with Taylor's choice of fried chicken for dinner. It is is amazing to me that she is 12 years old already. Time does indeed fly when you are having fun!

Rhian's Harvest


Rhian has been very busy tending to her garden. We have picked oodles of bell peppers, grape tomatoes, regular tomatoes, carrots and finally....her first watermelon! She is proving to have quite the green thumb!
