And she's off!!

Booboo is a cruising little lady these days! The time when we would leave her for even a second has been shattered by that innate curiosity to get into STUFF!

Check out her skills (don't you just love the monkey butt!).

Post-Election Booboo!

Rosemary's reaction the morning after the U.S. election, when she woke up and Justin showed her the electoral map on our laptop! 

"Onward and Upward!"

Booboo's First Halloween

Okay, this year's celebration of Halloween was really more for mommy than Booboo, but I argue she had a fantastic time.

She was our little kitty cat and even walked (well held onto mommy as we walked) in the Crofton Kiwanis Club's annual Halloween parade.

Can't wait to think what we'll dress her up as next year!

 

New Baby Means New Adventures!!!

Oh Adventure Blog! Once you were a fun way to showcase the places Justin and I would travel to and the fun we had. Then we got married (actually that was awesome). And now, we have a Booboo Haste (yes, our nickname to our beautiful daughter).

And she's a blast! So I thought I would dust off the old blog and start sharing adventures in parenthood, home owner-hood, and any other kind of hood I can think of.

Booboo also has a few thoughts she wants to share!

Justin Tears Apart His Tub

Sometimes, the best adventures are the ones at home, as shown by Justin tearing apart his tub. While this happened this past winter, we're already excited about the great kitchen fight coming in the next few months. Enjoy!!

Lions, Okapis, Giraffes, Oh My! Adventure Outing--Girlfriends' Edition

When you're in a relationship, you learn what's feasible and what's fantasy. For instance, I've found I can't cajole Justin to go see a chick flick, enjoy a high tea or apparently visit the Maryland Zoo in Baltimore (especially on a cold December day). But a girl's gotta use her Groupon before it expires on Dec. 31!

So I'm thankful when my fabulous gal pal Tamika (also a creative event planner) was game for venturing forth to the zoo.

It's actually the third-oldest zoo in the nation and in some instances that shows. Don't expect the variety of exhibits and animals that you might find at the National Zoo. We had fun just the same, even though many of the animals were more content to take naps than acknowledge our presence.

Two-Ounce Shots & Ticking Off Virginians

Have you noticed a trend that this adventurous couple has been spending more time across the border in Virginia? There was good reason to go across the river and then some this past weekend, when Justin and I set out for Ridgeway. We were on our way to see my great Aunt Betty, who is spry and articulate at 93.

We headed out in a suped-up Grand Jeep Cherokee (nice ride but doesn't corner well) down the Beltway, I-66 toward I-81. Ugh, avoid the usual Capital traffic if you can. We would have been better to go up to I-70 in Maryland and cut over West, even if we had more miles heading South. Construction and sheer Washington driving idiocy tacked on an extra hour of stop-and-go driving.
