Quentin's First Ski Trip

Feb 25th - 27th 2022 Hello! We had an eventful weekend in Feb 2022 with Quentin's first time on skiis! Warning - this is a very video heavy post! Since we haven't been skiing in a few years, we were all itching to get back out

January 10th - 30th 2022

I'm just really leaning into this whole monthly post thing... which is good because I lack on the pictures part which is the most fun part! OK, what did we do over the past month... Qinshi's Wedding The other Q in my life got married on

December 11th 2021- January 9th 2022

Yup! This next block of time is highlighted by the fact that we are a little over 13 weeks pregnant! So far so good. Not too much nausea, pretty tired, but otherwise doing fine :) Quentin Daddy Time On the weekend mornings I go to yoga, Quentin, Daddy, and Ava all

November 15th - December 10th

Another (almost) month has gone by! For shame! That and I didn't take any pictures during thanksgiving sadly... because we were having too much fun! Anywho, here is what I captured over the last several weeks. Outdoors Despite the cooler temp, Q still continues to love to be

Steam & Gas Show - Fall Festival We have always went to the Steam & Gas show at Tuckahoe in the summer, but apparently they have a smaller on in the fall! We met up with Grandpa Phill and Sam and got to see a bunch of neat tractors! Yes,

October 8th - 29th

Potty Training! Yes... potty training. I read a book, and it said to do this between 20-30 months. So after reading this book, we attempted potty training when Q was around 2y 2m. There were certainly some bumps along the way, but after a few weeks in, Q is having

September 18th - October 7th

Shore River Ride The whole crew (see pic below) did the Shore River Ride this year. Baba, Pop-pop, Quentin and I did the 20 mile route, and Kim/Dada did the 38 mile route. We got to meet at the rest stop which was at Tuckaho State Park playground. Quentin

August 27th - September 17th 2021

Construction Equipment There has been so much construction around our house! Quentin, like a typical little boy, LOVES all the action. He has a really cute way of saying "excavator." Sometimes we eat our meals outside and watch the vehicles in action. Trip to Frederick, MD We went

Happy 2nd Birthday Quentin!

I can't believe my little boy is 2 years old! What a fun adventure he has been. For his birthday, we had several neighbors and family over to our house for a backyard party. It was a beautiful somewhat warm afternoon/evening. Everyone I think had lots of

Rehoboth Trip 2021 (week 2)

Friday August 20th Alright! Part 2 of vacation! No work for me this AM, so instead of a 630am yoga class, I did an 8am one! Once I got home, Alex and I switched so that he could go to the local YMCA to work out. While Alex was away,

Rehoboth Trip 2021 (week 1)

Thursday August 12th Alright! This is our second time going to the beach with baby (now toddler) Q! Thursday was mostly spent preparing/packing for the trip. MeMa watched Q all day, daddy packed, and I worked until about 5pm. We eventually got on the road around 7:30 and

Summer Fun Ok... longest lapse between posts. I have an excuse! My chromebook died, and that was my main computer that I did my posting on. And I kind of don't know what I'm doing, so it took me a while to set up my Macbook.

May 12th - June 9th 2021

Bunnies! There are several domestic bunnies that live just north of our house. We have gotten in the habit of going and feeding them on our daily walks. I haven't gotten a good picture of them yet, but here is Alex and Q feeding one of them who

April 13th - May 11th 2021

Time Flies! So here we are, it's a month between posts again... but it does! Time absolutely flies! Lots of reasons it has flown by. One big one is that we have officially moved into our new house at 400 S Hanson Street in Easton MD. We. Love.

March 30th - April 12th 2021

Happy Easter! I keep thinking that this is Q's first Easter, but it's his second. He wasn't doing much though last year around this time since he was only 7 months old. This year he got to hunt for easter eggs! And inside the

We Bought A House! We can't believe it! We have been looking in the Easton MD area for over a year for a very specific house in a very specific location. This house (400 S Hanson) went on the market on a Friday, we saw it that day,

Feb 12th - March 17th 2021

Yeesh, that is now 2 posts in a row where I have gone a whole month. Maybe this is the new normal? It's partially because lots of stuff is going on / hard to make the time. But also it's because I'm taking less pictures!

Jan 17th - Feb 11th 2021

Ahh! Time got away from me this time. It's been almost a month since my last post. Lots of fun things to report! Outside Time Even though it has started to get a bit colder, Q still enjoys his time outside. Here is Q and Daddy atop the

Happy New Year! Wow-wee. Here I am posting midway through January, and already so much has happened. Some good, some not so good. On January 6th the capitol building was stormed by a mob. That is something I will not forget. I was working and doing televideo appointments all day,

Christmas 2020

A blog post brought to you by the one and only Alex McCoy! Alex is much more wordy than I am :) Christmas Eve at Phil's Christmas Eve brought some truly baffling weather. The day's high was a balmy 60 F (just after midnight) before the temperature
