Yesterday was one of those perfect days where M. and I both got home from work early, so since we had late dinner plans with friends in Baltimore we decided to go up a few hours early and wander around the Inner Harbor. The weather was warm and there were people out everywhere, so we [ READ MORE ]
Last weekend my parents and I went to the air show at Andrews AFB… My Dad was very excited to see FiFi… My adorable helicopter pilot showing off the Huey to all the little kids… My Dad holding his dog tag that was printed right there by a machine that was from the 40s… pretty [ READ MORE ]
Sibling Dinner was at our place last night, so I decided to try my hand at some jam-filled cookies (or thumb-print cookies, whichever name you prefer).
