Man, it's so bright in here

that I have to wear sunglasses to read my books in the morning.

A day at the lake

We went to Canandaigua Lake today. Here we are walking at Kershaw Park. Brian found a playground and lots of dirt and gravel on the walking paths.

After lunch at the New York Wine and Culinary Institute, we stopped at the City Pier for some ice cream. Brian ate almost a whole bowl of strawberry ice cream. He's pretty focused on the ice cream.

Then we went on a Captain Gray's boat tour to see the lake. Brian took a nap while we enjoyed the sights. What a day!

A (new) tricycle!

Brian got a new pre-owned tricycle today. Yay! Who would have thought that Brian gets to drive German engineering before anyone else in the family?

Spring cleaning

We did a little spring cleaning with our little helper...

Putting the dustpan back. Couldn't have done it without him!

Happy Mother's Day!

Brian made Mama a bouquet of handprint flowers. Mama enjoyed them along with the gardenia that grandma sent.


This is Brian making the flowers in a behind-the-scenes photo. He wasn't fully on board with my plan until he found out he could get his hands dirty and wet all at the same time.

Pictures from Disneyworld

Brian met Mickey and his friends! Here's a link to a bunch more pictures we took at Disney.

Videos from Disney World...

... can be found on vimeo. Lots and lots and lots of videos! Too many to show here; the link is to the first one, and all the newer ones are from our trip. Enjoy! :)
