happy fourth of July!


Spent the day yesterday in Bethlehem with Mark’s family. Sara and Don, Emory, Tabi, and Wyatt were all up from North Carolina for the week. It was great to see all 6 kiddos play together and enjoy each other’s company–wonder what it will be like when the 6 become 8. That’s a lot of kids.

Despite some shaky weather throughout the day, the fireworks went on as planned at 9pm. And, I must say, I think they were the best fourth of July fireworks I’ve ever seen. What a great tradition.

note to self


Note to self: put the canned whipped cream up high in the frig.

I was greeted this morning while I was blowdrying my hair by Drew with the chocolate canned whip cream in his mouth. Yup, that nozzle was just being sucked on. The stuff is good, but not that good at 9:AM.

And, yes, I realize that most of my funny story postings involve Drew. It’s not that the other two don’t get into trouble. It’s just that posting about fighting over the computer or arguing over who got up the escalator first isn’t really all that funny. But, Drew manages to do things that are rather entertaining.

franklin institute


With a few more days of having Mark home before he starts a new job, we spent the day down at Franklin Institute to explore the Real Pirate’s exhibit which was pretty cool. It tells the story of a real pirate ship that was found off the coast of Cape Cod. There was a life-sized model of a Pirate ship that we could walk through and lots of treasure on display. We also saw an IMax movie called Wild Ocean that was pretty neat. We ended up buying a membership since it wasn’t much more than a normal admission. So, we’ll be headed there again to get our money’s worth. What’s neat about the membership is that it will also get us into the Baltimore Science Center near my parent’s house. So, I guess we’ll be hitting that one later this summer too.
P.S. telltale sign that kids had fun today—both Evan and Ashlyn are sleeping with maps of the franklin institute and have already planned out their next trip there.

Drew – petty theft

Monday, June 30th, 2008 — Two-year-old Andrew M. Raudenbush was caught red handed at the Giant grocery store earlier today. Supposedly, while his mother innocently pushed the cart through the produce section with her three children in it (ages 6, 4, and 2), Drew reached out of the cart and snagged a fuji apple which he proceeded to eat. The act went unnoticed for some time. By the time it was noticed, the apple was half eaten. The clerk accepted the confession via Drew’s mother and charged them a flat $.50 for the stolen fruit.
