It just seems like yesterday when I used to rock Mr. Man four in the morning and Kate and me were so sleep deprived that we couldn’t see or think straight. It also seems like yesterday when I could hold him in the palms of my hands. Unbelievably, he is now almost 30 lbs and…

Before we had Christopher, Kate and I took a lot of adventures together. From Canada, to Asia, to the Caribbean, we’ve explored, seen the sites, and gotten to know the locals. But, amid all the fun times, we’ve also had our share of misadventures. Motion sickness in Montreal. Getting lost in Bangkok. An island-wide blackout…

Wow, it’s the last day of our beach trip and boy has it been fun. The most pressing issue of this day: Get up early enough to get in line to get croissants from Cafe Papillon before they run out. Kate has been itching to get her hands on them the entire week. Papillon, which means…

Day 4 Remember I said in a previous post about our beach plan to get subs to-go from a place called Frank and Louie’s? Well, when we got there on Day 2 it was closed! We read that they would re-open on Thursday, so that meant that we had to wait two WHOLE days to…
