Settling in for a long winter’s nap. Or rather… how quickly can we fire up the computers to catch up on work! First things first. We arrived in Orlando at the Thousand Trails Resort in just under 1 and 1/2 hours. An easy ride compared to the last few. The girls didn’t even get […]

Middletown CT Tree Lighting | Trip to the Hospital

I guess we had really decided on the “big plan” a couple of years ago, but we just didn’t know what it would look like. We knew we liked our life to date but there has always been a certain restlessness that was bubbling up deep inside. Our life together as a family has been […]
