The night before Easter, we dyed eggs with Gavin. He got a real kick out of coloring the eggs. He was pretty good with the egg ladle too. The next morning, he got up and found the eggs that were hidden. He got a Cars Easter basket with lots of candy. The Easter Bunny even [...]

Here’s a little Halloween Greeting from our ghoulish family to yours!
Today, Burn The Point had their annual car show at the Metra. Nicole, Gavin and I thought we’d go and see the “Fancy Cars.” Gavin really wanted to see a Toyota, but we had to explain to him he probably won’t see one at a classic car show. But we did see the Bat Mobile, [...]
We captured this video of Gavin dancing to Tub Thumpin’ in March of 09. We originally posted it on Facebook, but didn’t post it on the blog. But now that I’m a bit more Facebook savy, I found the embedding code. Enjoy! Yay, yay, yay!
The other day, Gavin informed me he was going to drive to the forehead store. “The forehead store?” I said, “That’s silly.” He laughed and I laughed. Then he’d say “forehead store, forehead store, forehead store.” Each time we laughed. This lasted for awhile. He tells pretty good jokes.

Mom and Dad had to make the hard decision to put Rajsha down last Saturday. It was a tough one as she has been with our family for the last 17 years. She was an old, but faithful and loving dog. We were all able to go and visit Rajsha for one last time and [...]
