2007 Salmonier Nature Park 2007 Norman Garden

I thought Alex would really enjoy a trip to Salmonier Nature Park so we piled ourselves into the van and drove there for the day. He wasn't nearly as interested as we thought he'd be and in fact spent most of the walk in the stroller! Sarah and S...

Every night our bed routine is the same. We all go upstairs, put the girls in the same crib, wait for Alex to get his "microphone" (stand up toilet paper holder), and after Alex announces "Ladies and Gentlemen, here's mommy singing the Dinosaur s...

Mom used to have a big boxing day meal for the Byrne family when we were still the "kids". We all still poke fun at the "kids table" that most of us sat in well into adulthood with some hope of eventually graduating to the "adult" table. This ye...
