ryan's birthday trip to knoebel's amusement park

we celebrated ryan's birthday on saturday by taking at tirp to knoebel's amusement park with our families.  we reserved a picnic table in the pavilion so that we had a home base for our food all day.  we packed brunch which we were able to eat before the park opened and then came back to our table later in the afternoon for dinner and cupcakes.

the weather was great and we were able to get on a bunch of rides.  it was a great way to celebrate!


happy birthday, ryan!

love, laurie

dancing on the baseball field


last month, the dance studio that i teach for performed on the field at the scranton/wilkes-barre railriders baseball stadium before the game, and it was a lot of fun!  we were asked to come back and perform again before the game on friday.  we had a few different dancers this time than last time and they performed a number from this year's recital.

it started raining right as the dance started, but the girls were able to get the whole dance in despite the rain drops.  after the dance, the weather cleared up and we all watched the game followed by fireworks.

happy birthday, ryan!


it's ryan's birthday and i'm so excited to celebrate him today!  i swear, he keeps getting better and better with age.  i'm so incredibly grateful for ryan and for all that he does.  he's my best friend and my favorite person.

i took out my good camera last weekend to take these photos of ryan on sunday during a little impromptu photo shoot near the river that runs behind our house.  i absolutely love the way these photos turned out!

happy birthday, lover, i hope you have an amazing day!
love, laurie

hello, gerber daisy!

this crazy gerber daisy in my office keeps blooming.  this time around the leaves got huge!  

i'm not complaining one bit because i love to see it's bright and cheery pink color in my window!  i can't believe this plant is still going, it's so old!

love, laurie

high alert


oh my goodness, these pictures make me laugh.  they were taken only 1 minute apart.  ryan was home last week with leko while i was teaching dance class.  he took a picture of leko at 7:39pm while he was sleeping in bed and then another picture at 7:40pm when leko heard me open the back door to come in the house.  so funny how he can go from fast asleep to on high alert.  he's such a riot.

love, laurie

a night out at the wayne county fair

it's become a summer tradition for us to take a trip to the wayne county fair the first week of august.  we couldn't visit the fair last year because of the pandemic, so we were happy to be able to go again this year.  

we took a drive up on monday evening after work to walk around the fairgrounds, look at the vendors, ride the rides, say hi to the animals, and watch the truck pull competition.  the weather was nice and we had a good time.  a few snapshots . . .

love, laurie

hangry to happy

while we were in chincoteague and assateague last weekend, our friend katie watched leko along with ryan's mom.  the night we left, katie went over to the house to feed leko dinner.  she sent me a text along with these pictures saying he was "hangry then happy" . . . that kid sure does get passionate about dinner.  she snapped a picture of him yelling at her saying he was hungry and then went to very calm after she gave him his food.  he even stuck his tongue out for a picture.  so funny!

love, laurie
