Topsfield Fair Fun

On Monday, since David had off work, we went to the Topsfield Fair. It is America's Oldest Agricultural Fair right in our backyard. They had a petting Zoo, kiddie rides (Caden's still too small), games, food, live entertainment and lots of general farm animals to look at. Caden had a blast taking it all in and enjoying some treats along the way.

If you're Mappy and you know it...

In an effort to make our Cado the smartest ever...or at least smarter than David and me, we've been teaching him some states and letting him know where some of the family lives. A little shout out to far away Bickels!!

Piece of Disney

I didn't exactly forget to mention Grandpa, but this take only recognizes Gram. So thanks to you both and lots of love.

FIA Movie

I "filmed" and edited this little movie for church. It's posted here for people to view but not necessarily having anything to do with our family.

Been awhile

A lot has changed since I posted last time. So there is a good reason or 2 for my slow blogging. We have moved to a little town called Andover, Mass. It's only 15 minutes away from where we used to be but a world of difference. We can walk to so many more things now (which is crucial with only 1 car and a toddler). The library, playgrounds, town common, coffee and 'downtown' are all only a 10 minute walk away. So we are enjoying ourselves. The apt. is a tad smaller but with better outside benefits.

I started back at a part-time job a few weeks ago. I am the front desk girl for a fitness facility a mile from our place. My hours are 6-10 AM, M-F. Couldn't ask for anything better. The 'workload' is non-existent..I get to blog and check email and surf the Internet for crying out loud. And it works with David's schedule-still no day-care for Caden.

Life is good, and we are all adjusting well to the *new* things. It keeps us on our toes.

Just for Laughs

Last Birthday update, I promise

Caden, the sweet boy (come on, you have to admit THAT is a sweet face) and the inevitable monkey picture. We've used this little monkey in pictures since he was born to show how big he is getting. We did month by month for the first year and now we'll do it every birthday.
