Christmas in Evergreen

So many great memories. Sledding, running with the dogs in the snow, ice skating on the lake, baking and eating, then baking and eating some more. Lots of red wine, a little brandy with egg nog, talking late into the night. Cinnamon rolls and bacon every morning. It's good to be a Plummer.

More Halloween

A preschool Halloween

Rocknoceros

I meant to post this a while ago from summer. Rocknoceros, a popular childrens' band, played every Thursday at the mall. For my kids, they might as well have been The Beatles. Our favorite CD: "The Dark Side of the Moon Bounce."

Spiderman is really in high school

For several days one week this fall, he told me Spiderman had run past our house. One day, finally, I agreed to look out the window and saw this guy. Turns out, he's our 17-year-old neighbor and it was McLean High School spirit week. Go Highlanders!

Just sittin' side-by-side, my lil' Sis and me . . .

1st Day of Preschool

Watch out world. Xman can count to 20, recite his ABC's and tell you his address and phone number. He spent the first day of school playing "gotcha" with the other kids (his own version of tag) and checking out all the cool toys, including a "sand" box filled with rice. I'd say he's ready. And so is mom.

Safety first

The beach!

Nighttime crab-hunting, making brownies, lounging by the pool, reading a good book. Oh yeah, and there's an ocean too.

Everybody needs somebody

Auntie Sue

Wish she was here more often. Auntie Sue is going to be a great mom someday.
