Cloughs in Clogs: February 2013

Thursday, February 28, 2013. Rome's best-preserved monument, the Pantheon is an engineering marvel that was first a temple dedicated to all the gods. The original temple was built in 27 B.C. by Marcus Agrippa, but was destroyed in a fire and the structure we see today was built by Emperor Hadrian in 120 A.D. Today it functions as a Catholic church. In fact, it is the only ancient building continuously used since its construction. Fifty thousand Romans could pack this huge stadium and cheer as their favor...

Monday, January 27, 2014. Conan with his one-of-a-kind Pirate Raggedy Andy doll made by his Grandma Beckie. Our neighborhood park as a winter wonderland. Norman Main Street Christmas parade. The first time he got in, we noticed an immediate difference and when we showed him how to splash, he was all smiles and laughter. Yes, finally he loves bath time, though now he cries when we take him out. Seven months has proved to be one of the most fun and engaging stages yet! Conan, 7 months. Conan, 7 months.

Friday, July 25, 2014. A Country Christmas at the Farm. Christmas in July continues at the farm! We couldn't wait for Conan's first visit to the farm and to meet his Uncle Mark, Aunt Karen and cousin, Sam.

The grandkids receiving their gifts. Conan with his cherry wood desk and rug. Grandma and Grandad's present. We have...
