Looking through my phone the other day I found a couple pictures from Greece.  Made me nostalgic even though it’s only been a month and a half.  So in honor of throwback Thursday here are some pictures for you all.  Just when you all thought new stuff was coming 🙂 On the beach in Milos. Continue reading “Oldies but Goodies”

There are so many reasons we love Grandma Gretch. Here are Adam and Malcolm’s top ten reasons they love Grandma Gretch: 1) She loves icecream as much as us! 2) She always takes us swimming, even when the water is cold. 3) She loves to spoil us with presents.

It feels like I just took pictures of Malcolm for 6 months and now he’s already 7 months. In just a month he is already so different.  He’s so much bigger and stronger.  He’s sitting up on his own for longer periods of time. He’s eating three solid meals a day and even trying toContinue reading “7 months young!”

This is my third trip to Hong Kong and every time I go I’m amazed at how much there is to do. There’s always something new that I haven’t already seen.  This time we went up to the Peak and walked around.  It was such a beautiful walk.  As I always do when I’m outContinue reading “The Peak”

It’s hard to look bad when you’re taking a picture with a face as cute as this! It’s even harder to look bad when you’re with two faces as cute as these.
