For the past couple of years, the three of us have been wanting to take a family trip to Italy and Austria, but we need more time to do that than Emily’s week-long April break, but the summertime is just so EXPENSIVE! So we decided to give up on that idea for now and go […]
This year we spent Thanksgiving in Oregon at Grammie and Grampa’s house. It was beautiful, relaxing, and fun, just like it always is! We brought Rory on the 432-mile drive with us, and she ended up being a fantastic little traveler! She mostly hung out quietly in her cage, quacking (that’s the closest word we […]
