March 2 to April 12, 2022

A few random shots of what we’ve been up to this early spring. Like stylin’ in the snow. And walks on blustery days. Modelling fancy new duds. Karate! Mina is…

Puerto Rico

We had a rather difficult time getting to Puerto Rico. First we booked a week in March that would have put us there for my birthday. But the day we…

Sick Day

Mina brought home a cold last week, and now Linus has it. He’s home from school today, and is spending most of it on the couch. However, he and Yen…

Feb 15 to 25

With COVID finally winding down (apparently, at least; it’s been a long journey and I’m aware I might read this later and think… Ha! Naive!), we decided to risk a…

I think the theme of this post will be dressing up. Maybe that’s a Tran family tradition for passing cold winter days? Or maybe we’re just trying to stay warm.…

Nov 2021

In an effort to break up the days, we took a weekend trip to Providence. We had no idea how big of a deal it would be to the kids…

October 2021

You’re going to see an unseasonably warm October unfold in these photos – all the way to flora and fauna. We added a few more beds to our front lawn,…

September 2021

We’re closing on the end of the year so I’d better catch up on my posts! There is snow on the ground while I write this, but let’s journey back…
