David and I made our way to Mary’s for a 5:30 reservation this year.  We started out with a bottle of cabernet sauvignon and a goat cheese appetizer.  This was followed by cracked red peppercorn soup, for me, and David chose the potato leak soup.  We both had ceasar salads and then our entrees.  David [...]

Went to a new fest in Marion today.  Ethan was such a good boy!  He got to see his cousin, Eli, and play.  We had a good time and he loved the music.  He got to use his new stroller, play with the ducks, and get into a BIG truck.  Great Day.

Eman is eating like a big boy in his highchair.  The last couple of nights I’ve given him some solids before bed and he is really interested in eating.  He even can hold the spoon.  My friend, Andrea, bought him the cut bib.  Hope I can get the tater stain out..ha
