Walk at French Creek State Park

What a great way to spend a Sunday afternoon...

January visit to P-town...

Just a little Saturday get together...

As soon as Shauna sat down with food, both little ones raced (fast crawl) over to her to see what she had...

So cute to watch them play together...

Navi was so tired from all of the socializing...she took a little nap in Chipper's bed...

Death of a fish...

I received a 5 gallon fish tank from Dave (my bf) for christmas. He has 55 gallon tank and a 5 gallon tank and I loooove watching the fish swim around in them so he decided to get me started on my own tank. So it's been going for 1 week which is nothing for anyone who knows anything about fish tanks. The tank has to cycle and do all of this biology stuff...bottom line: bad levels of stuff rise and then good stuff comes and kills the bad stuff, but until the good stuff comes the fish will probably die.
Well my first fish died today. I was sad when it plunged to the bottom of the toilet bowl....maybe I'm not tough enough to have a fish tank!

Fun Afternoon at the Camden Aquarium!

Marci (Mike's mom), Cally, and I spent this afternoon at the Camden Aquarium in NJ. We had such a good time. Cally loved it. She kept waving at the fish and saying, "Hi Fish!"
