Jonathan hopes to not pack our bags again until we are packing for Madagascar next Autumn. We look forward to welcoming visitors this summer and hope you'll let us know if you're headed this way. Here are a final few pictures from our action-packed weekend. We competed in a family 5K race (Jonathan took 3rd place), I completed my 4th annual Gold Nugget Triathlon (along with 1200 other women), and we planted our garden.]]>mandycasurella@gmail.comMain2009-04-14T10:37:43-08:00http://www.besidethebaobab.com/blog/family/files/1e0b6dda25c28d45499d426c7b3d7fe3-29.html#unique-entry-id-29http://www.besidethebaobab.com/blog/family/files/1e0b6dda25c28d45499d426c7b3d7fe3-29.html#unique-entry-id-29mandycasurella@gmail.comMain2009-03-18T12:23:51-08:00http://www.besidethebaobab.com/blog/family/files/71eb1bd55a10213208812a9e3a42022b-28.html#unique-entry-id-28http://www.besidethebaobab.com/blog/family/files/71eb1bd55a10213208812a9e3a42022b-28.html#unique-entry-id-28mandycasurella@gmail.comMain2009-03-10T10:07:42-08:00http://www.besidethebaobab.com/blog/family/files/b4079db5618e93b2844d0abfd7da5dde-27.html#unique-entry-id-27http://www.besidethebaobab.com/blog/family/files/b4079db5618e93b2844d0abfd7da5dde-27.html#unique-entry-id-27mandycasurella@gmail.comMain2009-02-23T16:15:32-09:00http://www.besidethebaobab.com/blog/family/files/9814effe1e6f776704fd0effbac8bfaf-26.html#unique-entry-id-26http://www.besidethebaobab.com/blog/family/files/9814effe1e6f776704fd0effbac8bfaf-26.html#unique-entry-id-26mandycasurella@gmail.comMain2009-02-09T13:46:36-09:00http://www.besidethebaobab.com/blog/family/files/7d74c29bee07a84b49769bee345af9b7-25.html#unique-entry-id-25http://www.besidethebaobab.com/blog/family/files/7d74c29bee07a84b49769bee345af9b7-25.html#unique-entry-id-25mandycasurella@gmail.comMain2008-12-21T16:05:05-09:00http://www.besidethebaobab.com/blog/family/files/e37dafca3a53de0f75cd4e7da98613b6-23.html#unique-entry-id-23http://www.besidethebaobab.com/blog/family/files/e37dafca3a53de0f75cd4e7da98613b6-23.html#unique-entry-id-23mandycasurella@gmail.comMain2008-11-03T11:08:29-09:00http://www.besidethebaobab.com/blog/family/files/204429573bb8488c6f6f7f5ba932ee7d-22.html#unique-entry-id-22http://www.besidethebaobab.com/blog/family/files/204429573bb8488c6f6f7f5ba932ee7d-22.html#unique-entry-id-22mandycasurella@gmail.comMain2008-10-27T11:11:29-08:00http://www.besidethebaobab.com/blog/family/files/58bc74c20e6bb18a30ff23618b7fabfa-21.html#unique-entry-id-21http://www.besidethebaobab.com/blog/family/files/58bc74c20e6bb18a30ff23618b7fabfa-21.html#unique-entry-id-21mandycasurella@gmail.comMain2008-10-17T21:52:31-08:00http://www.besidethebaobab.com/blog/family/files/3491047d07730ae1f10cce2d6626ae0c-20.html#unique-entry-id-20http://www.besidethebaobab.com/blog/family/files/3491047d07730ae1f10cce2d6626ae0c-20.html#unique-entry-id-20mandycasurella@gmail.comMain2008-10-07T14:37:55-08:00http://www.besidethebaobab.com/blog/family/files/8ff52cec342244f8d26962cb8590dfd3-19.html#unique-entry-id-19http://www.besidethebaobab.com/blog/family/files/8ff52cec342244f8d26962cb8590dfd3-19.html#unique-entry-id-19mandycasurella@gmail.comMain2008-09-29T11:57:59-08:00http://www.besidethebaobab.com/blog/family/files/f778f35579ed121f57622325c3c6eb43-18.html#unique-entry-id-18http://www.besidethebaobab.com/blog/family/files/f778f35579ed121f57622325c3c6eb43-18.html#unique-entry-id-18mandycasurella@gmail.comMain2008-09-16T21:58:58-08:00http://www.besidethebaobab.com/blog/family/files/d53a4cd38509f2d5b25217a30de4983d-14.html#unique-entry-id-14http://www.besidethebaobab.com/blog/family/files/d53a4cd38509f2d5b25217a30de4983d-14.html#unique-entry-id-14mandycasurella@gmail.comMain2008-08-27T15:14:03-08:00http://www.besidethebaobab.com/blog/family/files/56d8b4d3e7e85994514b21bf788d4e4f-12.html#unique-entry-id-12http://www.besidethebaobab.com/blog/family/files/56d8b4d3e7e85994514b21bf788d4e4f-12.html#unique-entry-id-12mandycasurella@gmail.comMain2008-08-15T19:26:19-08:00http://www.besidethebaobab.com/blog/family/files/3485eb44c7c0f09cd85578dc445cda60-11.html#unique-entry-id-11http://www.besidethebaobab.com/blog/family/files/3485eb44c7c0f09cd85578dc445cda60-11.html#unique-entry-id-11mandycasurella@gmail.comMain2008-07-28T11:17:31-08:00http://www.besidethebaobab.com/blog/family/files/6875768482624342e4fd948533030972-10.html#unique-entry-id-10http://www.besidethebaobab.com/blog/family/files/6875768482624342e4fd948533030972-10.html#unique-entry-id-10mandycasurella@gmail.comMain2008-07-17T12:40:15-08:00http://www.besidethebaobab.com/blog/family/files/c2388bac7ad8f23140d35455c6f11d65-9.html#unique-entry-id-9http://www.besidethebaobab.com/blog/family/files/c2388bac7ad8f23140d35455c6f11d65-9.html#unique-entry-id-9mandycasurella@gmail.comMain2008-06-17T12:09:26-08:00http://www.besidethebaobab.com/blog/family/files/16c285b7820d28e85bb9194405deef5e-8.html#unique-entry-id-8http://www.besidethebaobab.com/blog/family/files/16c285b7820d28e85bb9194405deef5e-8.html#unique-entry-id-8mandycasurella@gmail.comMain2008-05-23T16:04:40-08:00http://www.besidethebaobab.com/blog/family/files/fa2915d8344746b73b9107362125c639-7.html#unique-entry-id-7http://www.besidethebaobab.com/blog/family/files/fa2915d8344746b73b9107362125c639-7.html#unique-entry-id-7"Introductions" Click on image to view album ...A highlight of the trip was a mini-reunion with my life-long friends and all of our new babies My how we have grown since our college days. ...A few days after Oliver was born I was struck with the fearful realization that one day we would have to get on a plane together. ...It was the flight we took alone from Houston to Anchorage (9 hours total with a stop in Seattle) where everything came undone.... If I wasn't walking the aisle with him or standing in the bathroom letting him kick around on the changing table, he would start to fuss. Fussing isn't so bad, except the fuss only lasted about five seconds before he would break into the most ear-piercing scream I have ever heard. People around me would jump and cover their ears, even though they had ear phones on. This crying would last anywhere from 5-15 minutes, however long it took me to wait for the fasten seat belt sign to turn off and dash over the people next to me into the aisle or back to the bathroom. ...Gone are the days where I sit on a plane, reading a magazine with my biggest concern being lack of leg room.]]>mandycasurella@gmail.comMain2008-04-25T21:13:59-08:00http://www.besidethebaobab.com/blog/family/files/7575c9b4232416e0b4f5979dd46b357a-6.html#unique-entry-id-6http://www.besidethebaobab.com/blog/family/files/7575c9b4232416e0b4f5979dd46b357a-6.html#unique-entry-id-6mandycasurella@gmail.comMain2008-04-07T16:42:17-08:00http://www.besidethebaobab.com/blog/family/files/de0b6da390dd9cf351df452e791fec9a-5.html#unique-entry-id-5http://www.besidethebaobab.com/blog/family/files/de0b6da390dd9cf351df452e791fec9a-5.html#unique-entry-id-5mandycasurella@gmail.comMain2008-03-31T15:26:46-08:00http://www.besidethebaobab.com/blog/family/files/97bad6bbf06b891d1b24ce07dbaf10c5-4.html#unique-entry-id-4http://www.besidethebaobab.com/blog/family/files/97bad6bbf06b891d1b24ce07dbaf10c5-4.html#unique-entry-id-4mandycasurella@gmail.comMain2008-03-21T21:10:56-08:00http://www.besidethebaobab.com/blog/family/files/8297b9848ccf8bcb504eddf43067413a-3.html#unique-entry-id-3http://www.besidethebaobab.com/blog/family/files/8297b9848ccf8bcb504eddf43067413a-3.html#unique-entry-id-3mandycasurella@gmail.comMain2008-02-29T13:02:59-09:00http://www.besidethebaobab.com/blog/family/files/23a0fc7e41cd3d9847dc7ab3743f9c5e-2.html#unique-entry-id-2http://www.besidethebaobab.com/blog/family/files/23a0fc7e41cd3d9847dc7ab3743f9c5e-2.html#unique-entry-id-2mandycasurella@gmail.comMain2008-02-16T15:11:44-09:00http://www.besidethebaobab.com/blog/family/files/0361917ae129b70d4c948b5c4fc4833a-1.html#unique-entry-id-1http://www.besidethebaobab.com/blog/family/files/0361917ae129b70d4c948b5c4fc4833a-1.html#unique-entry-id-1
