I live in Birmingham, Michigan, with my husband Kyle, our son Nathan and our daughter Evelyn. The blog is named for our late dog Pete, a Rhodesian Ridgeback who died in 2014. Late in 2015, we returned to the US after living five years overseas (Seoul, South Korea and Königstein im Taunus, Germany).

On The Hunt

Tuesday we visited Hof Gimbach in neighboring Kelkheim for the Mother's Corner Easter Egg Hunt. They let the "under threes" get a head start. Once Nathan figured out that something was inside each egg, he insisted on stopping to open each and every egg before moving onto the next. It was slow going. The upside, from where I sit, is that we had less candy/sugar to sponsor the coming sugar highs.

Enter the bigger kids: fast and nimble egg swipers, these kids! Once Nate saw the bigger kids' method, he changed his tune and went for quantity. 


Happy passenger

Mom, stop telling me to look at the camera. Can't you see I am busy here? 
Stop and smell the...tulips  
A yellow one!
