July 4th Weekend

We extended ourJuly 4th weekend a little bit.

We started the weekend with our new neighbours and a smoked leg of lamb on Wednesday evening.

On the 4th the girls were over and we grilled some burgers and hot dogs and I made a cake for everyone. Friday we were both off and we spent the day relaxing - a great picnic at Barrel Oak Winery for lunch and a nice quiet afternoon.

Saturday we went out for a nice relaxing afternoon kayak on the Occoquan Reservoir and finished off the weekend with some homemade pizza - including homemade pizza sauce. It was a great long weekend and we have a few pictures to share.

About Us

In my life I am very proud of my three girls and I do everything that I can to make sure they have at least as many opportunities as I had and I hope in the process they will learn to be independent thinkers. As important as that is I am also very proud of my wife, Laura, who you will see as a new author on my - no let me rephrase that - OUR blog.

Laura and I first met on November 1, 2008 when she asked me out .... for pancakes. Turns out that pancakes was one of many things we have in common. I remember standing outside the diner anxiously waiting for her and around the corner comes a pepper white Mini Cooper S. I saw this very attractive blond-haired lady driving it and I was thrilled to see that it was Laura. That breakfast changed my life as I knew then that this was the person for me.

It has been wonderful to have Laura in my life and I look forward to many long long years of the same. We do hope you enjoy following along in this adventurous life with us, and with the girls, as we all take on new adventures. I know we are looking forward to our adventures, and a lot more pancakes.
