Legos are such a wonderful toy. I loved them growing up, even though I didn’t have legos of my own, my friends and eventually my younger siblings did, so I had plenty of time to enjoy them. Ella and I picked out her first legos the other day and we took them camping – they […]

Today is our 6th wedding anniversary. So we have now been married for as long as we dated before getting hitched (I can feel Erin rolling her eyes at that – see how well we know each other?) Back in 2004, we had a beautiful wedding weekend at Casa Cody Inn, Palm Springs. It was […]
