Captain's Blog: Mission Mudroom

Well, I packed it in for most of the winter, but I just couldn't stay idle for long. After finishing the staining and sealing of the barn doors, the weather started to warm up. We noticed a trail of paw prints and dirt specs from the garage door through the kitchen....soooooooo.


The official next project has begun...the Lauchard mudroom. It will take some brains and brawn, but I think we have it under control now that I have a helper. Stay tuned for updates on the progress!

Bean Bytes: Bath Time!

Well, I can't say that it's the best thing in the world, but what do I know with all of my 2 months experience? Bath time seems pretty nice and relaxing for sure.

Dos Birthday Dinners!

Mom, Jerrie and Jack brought over some very thoughtful birthday gifts for Lacey and I's birthdays. A great recipe and all the ingredients! We dove right in and whipped up a Bobby Flay special! Shrimp with roasted tomato chipotle cocktail sauce. It was awesome! Thanks guys!

Farming Boys!

Connor and Dad headed down to Mimi and Papa's house for the weekend while Mom and her friends threw a baby shower for her friend Mackenzie. Dad forgot the camera on Friday, but Connor got to ride the tractor and do some chicken coop cleaning! The kid is a country boy! On Saturday, Dad and Papa went out to do some timbering and load up the Cousin Eddie trailer with some firewood.

As usual, Papa didn't disappoint by providing some sweet smelling cherry wood and a lot of terrific food. Thanks again for the wood and the generous southern hospitality! Connor and I made it home safe to see Mom and Finn and Dad worked all day to clean up and get the wood stacked. What a weekend!

Captain's Blog: First Zoo Trip of 2011

The thermometer reached just above the 'I can't go outside or my lips will freeze' mark, so The Lauchards headed to the Columbus Zoo and had the run of the place! All the animals that usually sleep were prowling around. It was nice to get out...come on Spring!
