Forty years ago today, Gramma and Papa were married.  Today they chose to spend the day with all of us watching the Patriots game.  We had a nice day despite the outcome of the game and even looked at their wedding photos. Photo slideshow from the original blog. The slideshow service (Picasa/Flash) has been discontinued, so these photos can no...

Omi and Grandpa Bob came for a visit to meet their littlest grandson.  They arrived early Friday morning and unfortunately Grandpa Bob was only able to stay for one day while Omi stayed for five.  Even though it was a relatively short visit, we had lots of fun and loved having them here.  It was wonderful to have an extra...

Daddy took today off from work to spend his birthday with his two favorite little pals, Omi and me.  It was a beautiful day and we had lunch outside at the Vintage Grille in Worcester.  We had never been there before and were pleasantly surprised with the selection and quality of the food.  We had planned to spend part of...

Not only is Barky great for snuggling and a wonderful watch dog...he's quite helpful too! He can hold binkies with his paw!
