Key West trip – day 5
We had originally planned to visit the Fort Zachary Taylor State Park, but with the weather hovering in the 40s, another trip to the beach didn’t make sense. We then thought that maybe we could just bike around the island, as the southeastern side of the island has a great bike trail on it. But…

Key West trip – day 4
Day 4 of our Key West trip dawned overcast, drizzling, and freezing! I kid you not – it colder in Key West than it has been since 1873: 42 degrees. Of all the times to visit the Keys… Trying to make the most of it, we opted for inside stuff in Key West, with one…

Toren sleeping on the job
Toren was helping Debi clean the house one day (in the bjorn). Debi handed him a hanger to hold for her. He held it, but just couldn’t go on… He kept hold of the hanger though!

Toren’s latest game
Toren has been eating solid foods since 4 months, but has recently not wanted to eat solid foods. Instead, he takes the spoon and wipes the food all over himself:
