Weekends of Fun

The first photo is of Gooseberry State Park. Trevorand I spent last weekend hiking from the falls to Lake Superior. The next photo is of our new magnolia. I bought this magnolia in memory of my mom. Lastly, we have two photos of Ignacio from this weekend. The first is Ignacio eating in a "big boy" highchair. The last is a shot of Ignacio and Trevor tossing up their gang signs.

Early Spring

Spring has yet to arrive up here in the Arctic Circle. We still have snow on the ski hill. In an attempt to lure warm weather out of her cave, we purchased a few flats of flowers.

Old Stomping Grounds

When I was home for my mother's funeral I took some time to visit two of our old homes. Both places are in Grand Rapids. The red house was our first place in the city. Our first night there a sex worker was stabbed two blocks from my bedroom window. The apartment building is in a complex on Alpine. It too was shady but not as bad as the red house neighborhood. The red house is currently for sale and I toyed with the idea of buying it. Then I remembered the murdered sex worker and decided against it.
