Wood for seven years?
In November, Mrs. Shoo and I celebrated seven years together. Yes really. Seven. I don’t know what the traditional gift is for seven years, but I gave her a hand crafted wood bowl.

Little Squirt
I have a big back log of photos that I need to go through. These are a few from the Easter celebration we had with the in-laws. In his basket Grayson got a 99 cent spray bottle. He thought it was the best thing in the world. He spent the evening chasing us around the…

What does the fox say?
Here in the Shoo household we’ve been fascinated by a certain internet video. We’ve danced in our PJs and hatee-hatee-hatee-hoed many nights! We even have the book! The fox is such a hit that Mrs. Shoo made Grayson his very own knitted fox. She just finished it tonight.
