Christopher Marley’s Exquisite Creatures Revealed exhibit at OMSI was a miraculous display of the art in nature: colors, textures, and patterns of life on our planet. The new additions since our first experience with Marley were incredible.
My 46th Birthday
I got to spend my birthday eating delicious hot pot with my family, introducing my brother to Marvel United, and dug deep into childhood memories for my brother’s trivia challenge.





Marvel United: Hitting the Streets
It is exciting to look back at the progress we’ve made on our Marvel United miniatures since the third season arrived. Our collection includes over 130 characters and we’ve painted 42 (30%) to date and painted 18 since last fall.
What Happened in 2024?
The year went by in a blink. I’m grateful for the photos and videos we captured to remember all that happens while we’re busy with life.

Beauty of the Beast
My favorite Disney movie in their renaissance era was Beauty and the Beast. It’s because I’m too pragmatic for love at first sight and an effortless happy ever after. I’m grateful that Belle and the Beast grew to love each other through their story.
I’m delighted that the musical version of this story exceeded my expectations and am proud of the production that Lovegood showcased. The songs have been on loop in my household throughout the three-week run and we’ve quoted our favorite lines repeatedly.

The Zoo Without Our Zoo
Jenni encouraged me to take day off in the middle of the week so we could go on a date. With the kids in school, we enjoyed staying at each exhibit for as long as we wanted, or at least until the animal did something photogenic.
The weather was a cool autumn temperature. None of the animals were active but the smaller crowds also helped us stay with them without blocking other patrons.
