Who’s cuter than this? Don’t you just want to squish those legs?

If you are ever planning to change the plates on a car, renew your driver’s license, or register a new car in Rhode Island, make sure you pack a lunch!
Since we bought the new (used) van, we needed to transfer the plates from the Neon. It’s the law in RI that you do it within [...]

I just can’t help it and had to post some bragging about our 2007 Boston Red Sox winning the World Series this weekend. Ryan, Marnell and I have spent quite a few nights this year watching our team win and loose some great games while working their way toward the championship.If you [...]
