A series of warm, unexpected (but much appreciated) days have come my way. Days like today bring on a lot more outdoor time, which as you can see below, makes me very happy.
Married in Alexandria Bay, New York on August 27, 2002 we celebrated the addition of Martha Ann Mitchell on November 3, 2008. Since we didn't know the sex of our baby to be and looked at potential names for our little one, we discussed family name options—Stairvester Shanks seemed to stick the best while Martha continued to grow and thus we are using it for the title of her blog.
