On Saturday, the four of us — plus Marshmallow and Penny — participated in the Pet & People fundraising walk to benefit the Center for Grieving Children. Tess really wanted to bring her own pet, and Marshmallow's cage fit perfectly in the family wagon. Believe it or not, Marshmallow was the only guinea pig in…

Last weekend we went on one of our favorite family walks — Wolfe's Neck State Park — but this time we encountered something entirely new. We came across two native Mainers out clamming, just for fun, digging clams for their dinner. The girls were fascinated, and lucky for us, those two guys were more than…

It snowed today. A lot. Mostly we stayed inside and played Uno and Yahtzee, read books by the fire, and created some art (puzzles and heart paintings). But we did spend some time outside, shoveling, sledding and playing. The girls even did a snowy show with dancing and falling down. It was fun, but a…

We went skating on our neighbor's backyard pond again over the weekend, only this time we brought friends. And I was totally impressed by our kids' ability to entertain themselves on the ice for two hours straight. How cool is it that Gracie skates well enough to tow her little sister around, and how cool…
