Over the river and through the woods.....

..... To MiMi's house we go

It's Parade Time

It's a parade at MiMi & Poppie's house.

Mini Me

I finally talked her into wearing my hair jazz.

Pawpaw and Madie

This is from our fair visit - October 2011. Madie's first visit with her "fast, big girl racehorse- Regan". And this is when Madie and PawPaw became as thick as thieves, bonding over Regan.

Merry Christmas

Merry Christmas my beautiful babies. I hope all of your wishes come true now and forever more. You are my reason.

HoHo on a ChooChoo

Every year, on the Saturday before Christmas, District One fire station drives Santa through the neighborhood on a fire truck. It is a tradition we LOVE. And while the faces on the street have changed over the years, the Hardy's remain constant.

Santa! We love that guy!!!
