Picking Strawberries - Then and Now

I have been taking my wife and Kai to the pick-your-own strawberry farm in Wisconsin for about 9 or 10 years now. But the tradition had its origins long before that.

When I was 12, the same age that Kai is now, my parents took my sister and I to the very same farm in Wisconsin. Here's photo of me picking strawberries, with my dad and sister in the background.


It looks like we picked a lot of berries that day. The following photo shows me with my mom, grandmother, aunt, and sister.


The thing that strikes me the most about the above photo was that it looks like it was a very cool day based on how we were dressed. In all the times I've gone with Kai, it has almost always been scorching hot.

And today was to be no different - a 90 degree day was forecasted - so we decided to go early in the morning to beat the heat.


The berries were small but boy were they sweet! This year might be among the best in terms of the tastiness of the fruit.


A good time was had by all!

Then and Now: Wedding Day

Today’s Then and Now features a picture of my parents on their wedding day.


The thing that stands out in that picture is the big smile on my dad’s face. I don’t believe I’ve ever seen him smile like that.

The “Now” photo is actually from seven years ago today, when the three of us officially became a family.


Happy anniversary to my wife and son!
