Five Backpacks: June 2015
http://loveslaughsandlavender.blogspot.com/2015_06_01_archive.html
Monday, June 15, 2015. So when I said I was dedicating the first week of June to "Japan Week", what I really meant was the third week of June. Ha! I am finally ready to jump right in though, and am kicking Japan Week off with our once in a lifetime experience of taking Karate in Japan! I had also been looking for something special that Porter and I could do together, to have be "our thing"; so with the encouragement of a good friend I decided to do it along with Porter! It was a fantastic workout, and ex...

Five Backpacks: April 2015
http://loveslaughsandlavender.blogspot.com/2015_04_01_archive.html
Monday, April 20, 2015. As we ventured into our first "mid-level" bidding season, we had a rollercoaster of an experience. Thankfully, at the end of our ride this time though, we ended up with an AMAZING onward assignment! We had multiple factors that played into our situation this time, making it very unique comparitively; but that is a story for another day. Now, I'm back in the saddle, and finally ready to blog it. We are THRILLED to announce that our family will be moving to. The homeland of Legos.

Tuesday, December 30, 2014. Broken Bones. The Saga Continues. In reference to the cast on Porter's arm in the previous post). So, guess who broke their arm this last summer? If you are counting, that is time number three! Third Time's the Charm right? Well, in Porter's case, I guess "the charm" means getting surgery. Poor guy. These pics taken right before he left for the hospital to get the cast finally. But let me take you back to the very beginning. It's a very good place to start. The awesome local s...

Five Backpacks: October 2014
http://loveslaughsandlavender.blogspot.com/2014_10_01_archive.html
Tuesday, October 21, 2014. Sir Miles the Knight. So, a *while* ago, Miles turned THREE! I simply can not believe time has gone by so quickly. I know I say that with all of my boys, but seriously. This time, it has really thrown me for a loop. He will always be 6 months old in my brain I guess. That's what happens when you are the "baby"! We celebrated with a Knight themed party. And couple of his best buddies. It turned out so cute, and I pulled out my Cake skills again,. It was totally perfect! He will ...

Thursday, May 28, 2015. I think I'm Going to Love You. In the meantime, however, we arrived safe and sound to Copenhagen, Denmark and are IN LOVE with living here so far!

Any day of the week! 3 They ride their bikes everyw...

This is the Life!: May 2009
http://cartwrightfamilyblog.blogspot.com/2009_05_01_archive.html
Thursday, May 28, 2009. Busy busy.we are busy little bees over here and things seem to just get busier. We have had some great times this last month. Jake is busy with work and is great at what he does. He works so hard he has only been able to golf a few times this year. Conner is a curious little guy and is into lots, even my mixing bowls aka helmets. He always has a bruise on his head, so maybe I should make him wear this all the time. In the words of Shakespeare PARTING IS SUCH SWEET SORROW. Kim and ...

The Burton Family: October 2014
http://andrewandmandyburton.blogspot.com/2014_10_01_archive.html
Friday, October 24, 2014. Last week we went on a big family vacation and toured parts of Slovenia and Italy. The odds were stacked against us from the beginning though. I sprained my ankle a couple of weeks ago and it still hadn't healed in time for the vacation. Fox got sick just before leaving and while driving out of the neighborhood our GPS crashed. Sheesh! After a short drive, we found ourselves in Venice. We spent one night in the city (because we couldn't afford a second). It's as beautifu...Next,...

The Burton Family: March 2015

Tuesday, March 31, 2015. Fox has been asking for a year now when he was going to lose a tooth and when it finally happened, he lost two! Way to go Fox! The best part was that he lost one at school and got a little trinket box to keep it in. Best. day. ever. Monday, March 16, 2015. We also enjoyed the vantage from the Acropolis and a neighboring hill. And exploring the ancient Roman and Ancient Agoras. If I had to name the highlight of the trip, it was definitely hiking up the tall hills around Athens....
