Melanie and Sami Visit


We were thrilled to host a visit recently by Melanie and Sami. We visited the Children's Museum, the Great Lakes Science Center and the new Cleveland Aquarium. Plus, Melanie and Sami had opportunities to meet/reconnect with family and friends. Everyone had a great time!

That's a BIG fish!

Sami and Collin practice their percussion techniques.
More percussion practice--at a Lakewood Park bench.
Enjoying a treat at Cleveland's old fashioned ice cream parlor--Sweet Moses.At the Great Lakes Science Center Sami learned to feed colorful polymer balls into a pneumatic tube that shoots the balls into a hopper high above. Each time he inserted a ball Sami felt a ticklish burst of air in his face. ......................Puff!Giggling Sami

Latest Buzz

Here's the latest "buzz" from C-Town, not exactly in chronological order.

First stop pictorially, a barber shop in McLean, Va, where we had the pleasure of taking Nathan for a "buzz" cut. What a riot!







Nicole blew into town for a few days, and stopped by C2C to check out the new digs. If you look closely, you can see Carly giving Nicole a few pointers on how to operate a scissor lift. Nicole was "buzzing" around the warehouse in no time!






Next stop, Columbus, where the buzz is all about the curling skills of John and Patti. We got to witness one of their matches first hand, and it was exciting! We can't wait to try it sometime. The match in question was won on the very last end when Skip John slid his rock to win the game. (Forgive me if I used the terminology incorrectly.)





As Tiffany was buzzing down the highway in Florida, this picture was snapped of Carly, "Scoutalicious" and a birthday bouquet of flowers. Happy 28th!



The Hollywood buzz was all about how glam Mary Lou and Andy looked at the Oscars. We can't wait to dish with Mary Lou about who she saw, talked to, sat near...



We were buzzing around the kitchen as we designed and decorated cakes in all shapes and sizes for our first (and last?) cake decorating contest. Michaela and Nathan did an awesome job mixing icing colors and frosting their creations. Sweet!
