Memorial Day Weekend





Our friends Laura, Eugene, Jonathan, Lauren, and Chad all came to visit this past weekend! As usual, the weekend was filled with lots of jokes and lots of good food! Schuyler was quite the charmer, too! She loves all the extra attention!


Dixie loves the extra attention, too!


We celebrated Eugene's successful defense of his thesis with ice cream cake! Congratulations, Dr Antipov!

Visitors from Missouri






My Dad and Uncle came to visit at the end of Mom's two-week stay We had a wonderful visit! Here's a few shots, including one of Uncy showing me the Beatles lullaby cd he found for Schuyler!

Thanks, DD!



My mom was here for two weeks to take care of Schuyler while I went back to work She was awesome! Thanks, Mom - we loved having you here!

Captain Dad





Todd's last drill weekend was this month It's hard to believe that he spent ten years in the National guard Schuyler and I, along with all his family and friends, are so proud of his service He did an outstanding job I am grateful to be married to someone so committed to his country and his ideals Still, I have to confess, Schuyler and I are so glad he's finally out! We surprised him with a little party to celebrate!

First Mother's Day



My first Mother's Day weekend was very memorable Todd surprised me by taking me out to a nice dinner on Friday night while DD watched Schuyler Then, on Saturday, I surprised my Mom with a day trip down to New York City Todd spent the day with Schuyler He put Ms S in her Baby Bjourn and they went to the town's garden club event Mom and I had a great time, but I would have loved to see the two of them at that event! Finally, on Sunday, my sweet husband made us pancakes and gave me two cards - one from him and one from Schuyler Later, I was surprised with the patio furniture that I had been wanting What a luck girl I am to have such a beautiful daughter, sweet husband, and a wonderful, supportive Mom and mother-in-law!
