That's a Lot of Dough!!!

A couple of days ago, we visited a local bakery called Rainbow Sweets in Marshfield, VT. Bill -- the proprietor -- was hilarious and an amazing cook. To top off our experience, Bill offered to weigh Ethan on the pastry scale. Apparently, this is a little tradition of his with every baby that comes into the shop. It was quite fun! Check out the video below to find out how much Ethan weighs.

Notes from the Road

A week ago, the three of us headed out of Louisville for our vacation to Vermont. We were happy to get out of town because Hurricane Ike unloaded on Louisville causing 250,000 people to be out of power. Our power was out from Sunday afternoon to Friday morning, so rather than continue camping in our own house we decided to hit the road Thursday morning. On our way to Vermont we made a few stops. Here's some pictures to help tell the story:


Huntington, WV -- If you're into fun, local places to eat this would be a great place to stop if you're driving through. The Frostop Drive-In brews their own root beer which is like liquid candy. The food is pretty good roadside fare as well.

Columbia, MD -- Thanks Hobsons for hosting us Friday night!! It was great to see you again. Thanks as well for your encouragement and advice on being new parents.

Bellport, NY -- The New York Veecks...we love you all!!! What a fine family we make. Uncle Robby and Aunt Cathy thanks so much for your hospitality. We enjoyed our time with you so much and look forward to seeing you again soon...April right!

Port Jefferson, NY to Bridgeport, CT -- Uncle Robby and Aunt Cathy, thanks so much for the recommendation to take the Ferry. We loved the ride and as you can tell Ethan enjoyed feeling the wind on his face!

Ethan's First Major Road Trip

As you can see, Ethan is enjoying his first major road trip...

Our House Has A New Look

As promised, but a little later than I had originally planned, here's a picture of our house now that all of the work has been completed. After 5 years of siding with peeling paint and occasional offers from folks passing by to paint our house for us, we're pretty happy with the results. What do you think?
