A while back my sister took us to this great place in downtown Richmond, Alamo BBQ. Right there, nestled in by 22nd street, in a place where I don't really know, is the best darn barbecue place I have ever been. "Alamo," as we call it, has outdoor seating. You walk up, place your order and receive your buzzer. Then, go get your yummy food and enjoy the view. Ok, it's not much of a view, but it is up hill and you can kind of see the city. Now, about the food... My name is Maggie. And I … [Continue reading...]

A day in the life: 5 months

5-months

You might think Little B never turned 5 months old, but he did. While he'll be 6 months this week, I thought you might want to know how he did for the past -- two months? Life with a 5 month old is definitely easier in some respects. For instance, they sleep longer at night. Or, at least, this one does.

We got to the point where we were tired of B using our stomaches as a trampoline.  When I say the kid has legs, I mean he has legs.  I mean seriously.  His mom was a gymnast and jumps horses.  I think strength is in the genes. It was time to get something for him [...]
