MLS Cup Championship
The Columbus Crew went to the MLS Cup Championship again – the second time in 7 years – and we got to go to the game again. The last time was a bit more of an adventure because the game was in L.A., and this …

Columbus Crew game
We took Jenson to a Columbus Crew game while the weather was still going to be nice enough and it was a 5 p.m. game. He was really excited to go – he likes watching soccer on TV, and we told him we’d probably see …
Pigeon Roost Farms
We met some friends at Pigeon Roost Farms one Friday after Lo got off work. It’s a huge fall playland with tons of activities and animals. Jenson was thrilled to go because we were with one of his favorite friends, Jackson, and his bestie Emmy. …
Apple-picking, ice cream, and Pumpkinland
I really wanted to do a lot of fall activities with Jenson this year. He’s at the age to start to enjoy it, and it’s his last year to enjoy it as an only child. I hear things get harder with two kids… One sunny …
Dawes Arboretum and Dupler’s Pumpkinland with Gramma
I’m still catching up on posts from October with all of the fun things we did. One of the days while my mom was here after Jenson’s birthday, we headed to Dawes Arboretum to walk around before lunch. They have this Story Trail for kids, …

Touch-a-Truck and JD Day of Play
I started this post a month ago, and then life got chaotic. Nothing super-crazy, but we went to Vegas, Jenson turned 2, I re-purposed a tv stand into a play kitchen for Jenson the same week I was trying to get ready for his birthday …
Roos and Mingos at the Zoo
Lo went to a Indycar race a few weekends ago so Jenson and I were on our own for the weekend. When he woke from his nap on Friday, I made a quick decision to head to the Zoo. Well, quick as anything with Jenson …
Library Storytime
I started looking up to see what kinds of activities we can get into in our new area. Now that I have “days”, I feel like I can do stuff with him – and that it’ll be good for both of us to get out. …
Outside, Green Juice, and the Zoo
Jenson seems to love his new home… Often he’ll ask to go “outside” even before breakfast. He’ll go to the door and try to open it, saying “outside, outside”. He’s easy to distract, because he also loves to eat, and is ready for breakfast. One …
