New Sunglasses
Picked up Abigail some sunglasses while out getting stuff for my trip. No. She’s not wearing them on her face, but I thought this was a cuter shot. She really liked them. Now she says “we both have sunglasses daddy!” Here’s the shot with them on. – b
Another Trip on the Horizon
Possibly climbing Mt. Washington on Saturday. I say possibly because there’s a lot of factors to consider this year. This year we have 4 people going. This year we requested a more technical ascent (e.g. ropes, harnesses, Tuckerman Ravine, etc.). A more technical ascent with 4 people requires 2 guides. Great! Unfortunately a more technical […]
Child Upate
Lauren is almost getting up just once a night. Every 4th night or so, she has a twice feeding night, but otherwise just once. That’s nuts. Abigail wasn’t doing that till she was 8 or 9 months. Speaking of which, Abigail had a twice waking the other night. The night before that – once. We […]
Another Climbing Revelation
Regardless of how well or even if she climbs, we’re spending quality time together. She’s my daughter. In my mind we should spend lots of time together if I want any kind of positive impact in her life. I hadn’t realized this until I met two other fathers climbing in the gym without their kids. […]
The Boys
Saturday when we went climbing the inevitable happened. There was a birthday party for a little boy, so he and all his little boy friends were running all around. Abigail’s only focus at that point was “the boys”. She’d start to climb something, then stop mid-move and watch “the boys”. I’d climb something and she’d […]
Another Playdate
The whole family got out to see Natalie and Megan this past weekend. See the photos here. It was pretty cool. Abigail splits Natalie and Megan’s ages, so she could get some older kid play and younger. Lauren slept through most of it, but sleep is good for her. – b
Grace Camp 2012
Took a bunch of knuckleheads (me included) back up to the winter Adirondack wilderness to stay in the heated cabin known as Grace Camp. See the pictures here. – b ps. can’t say enough about Topher’s performance. First trip ever (and it was hard) and he did great. Not that I didn’t expect him to […]
Progression of Shows
So far Lauren’s slept through the following shows on Netflix: Walking Dead (Zombie Apocalypse): season 1 – eh. started out well, but blowing up the CDC was dumb. I got the point, but it was dumb. Arrested Development (Rich CA family humor): season 1 – 3 – FN hilarious. Season 2 was a little dull, […]
Playdates
In addition to climbing, Abigail and I have been getting out for some play dates. First it was Josh and Jacob. Last weekend was Miriam. Hopefully this weekend we get out to see Megan and Natalie. Ironic that I’d be working the social aspect of my child’s development. It’s as much a development for me […]
