Anniversary Surprise


Karen and I celebrated our 18th anniversary yesterday, but Natalie and Oliver commemorated it this morning with a specially prepared breakfast in bed for us. We sat in bed amused (and a little concerned) by the strange sounds and occasional shouts emanating from the kitchen. Course 1: Scrambled eggs a la Oliver. Oliver also prepared coffee for me (using what tasted like half a bag) and tea for Karen. Course 2: A Christmas cookie with 2 chocolate dipped peppermint sticks. We decided to save these for later. And half and hour later, Course 3: Cinnamon muffins freshly baked from Natalie. These were delicious! Anyways, I had to get a picture of what the kitchen looked like...

Natalie Turns 10


It has been a while since we updated the posts on the blog but we have been adding many photo albums since Karen's birthday in August. We have taken a few trips - one to Chicago, Rockford and Lakside, OH and then later one to Pittsburgh. So enjoy perusing. The latest album is from Natalie's 10th birthday party. That is making us feel older than turning 40 this year!
