Happy Easter everyone! We had the BBQ Orgeon Shower last weekend and next weekend will have my brother and sister-in-law at our place to help us with a few projects. So we have been enjoying the sunshine and working on house projects. I am, as you can imagine, anxious to organize the baby room with…

Corning Glass Museum 2016
We took the parents down to our old stopping ground. Over the past four years we have taken all of our family who has visited us to the glass museum. We have found there is something for everyone to enjoy. After getting our tickets we watched the live glass blowing demonstration in the Hot Glass…
Springwater Fiddler’s Fair
Well it's been busy past month adjusting to a new job, driving to Rochester everyday, and adding a puppy to our lives. We were ready for a weekend outing. A few weekends ago went to the Springwater 7th annual Fiddler's Fair. We heard about this fair from two sources: first from the maple farm we…
Happy 4th of July!

But I fell in love with it even more when moving to Seattle; where everyone has their favorite teriyaki place, which they claim has the best…
2013 in review
I know we are a little more than a week into the new year but it has taken me a full week to get back into the normal routine of things (I can't be the only one who's in the post-holiday struggle for normality). As I look back on almost a full year with this…
A Very Corning Christmas Present
My parents came into town on the 19th and after hours of catching up, eating dinner, and sharing a few early gift surprises Luke and I gave them their Christmas card. The card explained their Christmas Present: a trip to the Corning Glass Museum and chance to make one of their own Christmas ornaments at the…
Smoke on the Water
This past Saturday afternoon we chose to check out yet another local event. We drove up past where Luke works to Hammondsport for Smoke on the Water, a local BBQ competition benefitting the fire department. I have mentioned Hammondsport on one other occasion (see stars hollow, fireworks, and minions) but if you didn't get a chance…
Racefever and local BBQ
Last Thursday Luke and I decided instead of hitting the treadmill at the Y we would go on a walk downtown to check out Racefever. We weren't completely sure what Racefever was exactly celebrating. But we know we live very close to Wakins Glen, a city on the waterfront of Seneca lake that is…
