Story Time

The perfect ending to a crazy busy day (and most days are crazy busy) is reading stories together before bed. We each pick a story, and here are a few of our favorites (and usually the repeat choice). 'The Napping House' by Audrey Wood; 'If You Give A Mouse A Cookie' by Laura Joffe Numeroff; 'Goodnight Moon' by Margaret Wise Brown; 'Chicka Chick 1-2-3' by Bill Martin Jr, Michael Sampson, Lois Ehlert

The Ultimate Valentine

A Valentine's gift from Al was tickets to see Barry Manilow (Ultimate Manilow-The Hits) last night at the Dunkin Donuts Center. This was my 4th time seeing him (and Al's 3rd), and once again, he put on a fabulous show (it was Matt's 1st Barry concert, and I beleive he is now an official fanilow.) Brian Culbertson - a very talented contemporary smooth jazz artist - was the opening performer.
