Nice people

People get a bad rap!

There are a plethora of nice people in this world.
Everytime we travel with Annika I am reminded of this.

I've heard (and even seen) some NIGHTMARE exchanges between children and strangers on flights.

Fortunately, I've never had to experience one. I've been lucky enough to sit beside nice people who think that everything my child does is adorable. (and why wouldn't they?!)

Maybe it's the flirty "Hi!" or the killer blue eyes that she inherited from her daddy, or perhaps it's the true interest that she seems to show in other people.

Whatever the reason . . . I'm grateful!

Older grandmotherly types, middle-aged businessmen, young college students, people who speak other languages, and those who are traveling from far away places-
they're all nice.

We hope you meet some of them soon!

Field Trip!

Geoff, Annika and I met Lori and Ben Casey and their two boys, Knox and Banks, at the Imagine It! Children's Museum downtown today. The kids all had a blast meeting Bob the Builder and discovering all the cool interactive stations at the museum.
After the museum, we took a trip to The Varsity. Annika is officially addicted to F.O.s! (Frosted Orange for all of you non-Atlantans!) We had such a great time!
