Boo!

Is it me, or is this more enjoyable for mom than Brady?

Where did he learn THIS?

Sometimes you wonder where your kid's ideas and behaviors come from....

Then you look back at old photos....

...and start to understand.

October means it's pumpkin season!

If I close my eyes I can't see that sign...besides, I can't read...

Apple picking

We took advantage of the extended summer weather and went apple picking with Brady. Even though he's too small to climb trees, he still had fun.

His first bite of an apple
And then he was off to pick his own

No really, business travel is tough...seriously

Last week I flew out to Shannon, Ireland for management strategy meetings. I know, sounds like an oxymoron, but it's true. Anyway, the last time I went we were put up in this shabby hotel with a variety of "get outa here" types of things (i.e. 3 foot holes in the hallways, no internet connectivity (killer for a bunch of tech people), duct tape in bathtubs, etc.) and they had a really aggressive agenda that had us up for 40 hours straight if you couldn't sleep on the redeye flight to Ireland.

So this time I decided to bring a camera to take pictures as proof. And of course they booked us in a much improved hotel and with a more leisurely agenda. So I SWEAR these trips are grueling, although I admit when I come back with this type of photographic evidence, my case is not so strong.
