Spires Family: May 2009
http://spiresfam.blogspot.com/2009_05_01_archive.html
Monday, May 25, 2009. Aosta was also once a Roman outpost, so as a result the town has some impressive old Roman ruins, including a theatre,. An old city wall and gate, and what they call a triumphal arch which was built in 35 BC in honor of Augustus. The weather was good and the skies were clear - so we got some good views of the mountain and the surrounding Alps. The whole place was probably no bigger than 1 city block. Monday, May 11, 2009. What we've been up to. Saturday, May 9, 2009. I arrived in Ge...

Spires Family: December 2008
http://spiresfam.blogspot.com/2008_12_01_archive.html
Sunday, December 14, 2008. Yesterday we celebrated Emma's second birthday. We naturally went with a princess theme for the entire day - which she couldn't get enough of. Traci did a really good job in preparing everything and making Emma feel like genuine "royalty"on her special day. Emma's party was followed by a quick trip to the play place at McDonald's (she has an obsession with slides, so she flipped out when she saw the bi-level play-place), and then off to bed.

http://spiresfam.blogspot.com/2010/04/jack-has-his-great-grandpas-big-hands.html
Monday, April 26, 2010. Jack has his Great-Grandpa's big hands. We spent most of Saturday at Traci's grandparents house roasting hot-dogs and shooting the breeze. It was then that we noticed that Jack's hands resemble his Great-Grandpa's, even down to the un-kept finger nails :). PS - I also graduated last week. It was a memorable, wet day - it's good to be done! Thanks for the pic Eli). Congrats on the graduation Mark, probably feels pretty nice to be done with that! April 27, 2010 at 11:41 AM. I gradua...

Spires Family: March 2010
http://spiresfam.blogspot.com/2010_03_01_archive.html
Monday, March 22, 2010. This may be a shot in the dark but I am trying to get to Eastern Arizona this Friday for my Grandmothers funeral. My parents are driving through Las Vegas and could pick me up there and take me the rest of the way. If anyone is headed to Vegas this weekend and has some space I would appreciate a ride. I can help with gas too! Wednesday, March 17, 2010. Next we watched a loud band which made Emma want to go back to the car. Monday, March 8, 2010. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).

Spires Family: September 2009
http://spiresfam.blogspot.com/2009_09_01_archive.html
Monday, September 14, 2009. Are these getting old yet? I was trying to decide what pics to post from our last two weekends, and I just couldn't pick - so I went ahead and posted pretty much all of them. The first collage is from my weekend at Lake Powell with my MPH class - loads of fun! One of my classmates' family owns a houseboat down there, so we spent the weekend wake boarding, skiing, surfing, eating and jumping of stuff. This next group is from this past weekend. Wymount. Anyway, Traci bought a do...

Monday, January 19, 2009. Kevin Bacon and Kim. So, we've been promising an update from our Christmas break trip to Cali for Kim's wedding, so you shall get one. But before we get to that, let me give you a quick update on what we've been up to lately. With it being Martin Luther King day and all, we decided that we would get out of town and do something a little different for a change. So we packed our diaper bag and headed up to Park City to see what all the Sundance. So, Cali. where do I begin? More pi...

Spires Family: August 2009
http://spiresfam.blogspot.com/2009_08_01_archive.html
Thursday, August 13, 2009. Shakespeare, Wales, Princess Diana, Kenilworth Castle and a row boat. We took advantage of a beautiful Saturday last weekend and visited Stratford upon avon, the nearby birthplace of Shakespeare. We began the day with a boat ride on the river Avon that runs through the town. After lunch, we headed over to the home where Shakespeare was born. And visiting the nearby church and graveyard. All the villages in the area seem to be connected to the Althorp estate by foot paths that w...
