Ben and I had a wonderful Christmas break that was filled with friends and family! It was a long trip, so this is a long post, with lots of links and links to pictures… Ben wishes he had Sunglasses! We started off our trip by spending a few days with Wendy in Denver. […] Ithaca has been a winter wonderland since we got back from our Christmas traveling! We have been cross country skiing 4 times in the past week. The weekday skis have been little 30-minute jaunts at the park near our house where the dog park is and where I play soccer. Today, we went on a […] So, for my birthday Tamara gave me a cheese making kit! It has everything you need to make mozzarella or ricotta, minus the milk. We tried it out, and it worked great! We made mozzarella – and it was pretty easy. First you put citric acid in the milk and heat it up – but […] Wow! It seems like you turn around, and you’ve missed 4 months of blog updates!

We had a great weekend relaxing, playing with Cole, walking on the beach, playing […] To start the new year off right, we headed over to hang out with Dan (from S&W), his girlfriend Taylor for a bit, then went to Gavin and Susan’s place, which has a view of (the very top of) the Space Needle! With the fine view, we partook of the traditional New Year’s bizzarro food […] The day after Christmas we drove over the pass to Pullman to see Tamara and Jason. Tamara is due to have a new baby boy in 6 weeks, so we wanted to see her big belly: We also got to meet the deer, play with the animals (Espn, Oban, and Reiner), and generally have […] |
