Corn, Tractors, and Inflatables

There IS more than corn in Indiana…There are tractors and inflatables too!  Although it may seem like we live on the farm from our tractor overload lately, we reside in suburbia like many of you. But Good Golly, is farmland gorgeous! Over the weekend we celebrated my nephews birthdays with a party down on the …

Can you find 4 boys amidst  the mass of groceries? Needless to say, we have to unload the groceries before we unload the little dudes. This is what our van looks like after a Costco Run.  It’s likely that we pay their electric bill with our monthly “donation”. I love Costco’s selection of healthy snacks …

Kickin’ It Old School…

Last weekend we had the opportunity to join Brad’s family for a reunion in a small town in western Indiana.  Conveniently, the dinner was held at a park pavilion, which entertained the boys well into the night.  The boys kicked it old school on this 1950’s (or older) ride on, and proved it to be …

Summer Quadyssey: Chicago Part II

First off, I want to say a hardy welcome to any of you joining us from the London Times article!  It’s jaw-dropping amazing to think about our story being shared "across the pond".  Because so much of our Quadyssey took place separately, I decided to make the next couple entries into a He Said/She Said …
