The Story of a Pumpkin and a Mouse

Once upon a time there was a little pumpkin. He was a sweet little pumpkin kind to all the pumpkins in the patch. But he had dreams of a bigger world outside the patch. One day he set out to see this great big world.



In the 99 acre woods of Monte Verde, there lived a little mouse. This little mouse was full of laughter and joy. He longed to meet a special friend. He set out on a dirt road to find that special friend.


After many days of traveling their paths crossed!!!! Instantly they became the best of friends and traveled the great big world in search of adventures together!!!!

The Marine Corp Museum

Uncle Tom and Aunt Nancy have been in town for a quick visit and today we headed with them, the Sullivans, and the Bitto's to the Marine Corp Museum. It was really special to share this experience with Uncle Tom, a retired Marine helicopter pilot.

Eddie has gotten back into mountain biking and has made it a family affair... Last week we became the proud owner's of a bike trailer that we call Sebastian's Chariot :)
