Family fun

Family Day

Our first little family (of four!) date happened on Friday and it was such a fun day together! Jimmy took Friday off of work and we headed to one of my favorite places in Pittsburgh: the National Aviary!

Sadie and I talked all about birds in the weeks leading up to our visit, so she was excited. We listened to a recording of a kookaburra laughing, looked up pictures of flying foxes, talked about owls, vultures, penguins, and toucans. (more…)

A Quick Visit to West Virginia

I had the biggest craving to make a quick trip out to West Virginia this weekend and we managed to squeeze it in! Wheeling, WV is about 45 minutes from our house, so we left after work on Friday, went out to eat, and then walked around Cabela’s.

It was so much fun going out to eat as a family! I think it was the third time we’ve done it, so it was special. Sadie is well behaved in public, so I don’t know why we don’t do it more often?!

I guess I like to cook and save money, but it is nice to just relax and let someone else do the cooking and clean up while we enjoy each other’s company 😉 (more…)
