ADK Canoe Trip
Got the pictures up from the canoe trip. See them here. Craig and I are pretty psyched to do more. He’s already convinced himself to get a lighter Kevlar boat, which should open up more opportunities for paddling previously hindered by portage distances. I can’t wait to get my girls (all of them) up there. […]
Where You Been?
Did a little canoe trip in the Adirondacks this past weekend. See the GPS/route here. I think it was something like 12 lakes/ponds and 9 carries. We started at the north end of Rainbow Lake and made our way down through the Seven Carries to finish. Probably have pictures up next weekend. I forgot my […]
Ding! Ding!
Seeing Abigail do so well on her balance bike, I got the itch to try her out on a 12″ peddled bike. I thought with it being so close to the end of the season we should try it. If it worked, we could get one now and ride it through the winter. If it […]
It’s a Zoo out There
Grandpa and the girls found this little guy in the yard this morning. Who needs the zoo when you’ve got a backyard like ours? Though the zoo at least has protective barriers between the animals and the kids. The first thing out of Abigail’s mouth when she saw him was “Can I chase him?” – […]
Forget It Kid!
I don’t care how cute you are or how pink it is. It’s not happening. Now where are the little 50s? – b
Mini Me
I have a new follower. Lauren has taken a real shine to me. When I enter the room, she crawls over and climbs my leg until I pick her up. From there, I can’t put her down until she’s ready to nurse. If we go down stairs, she gets excited. She shakes her arms and […]
Totally Forgot!
Abigail’s jumping from the diving board. Mostly she jumps into my arms, but she’s gone in and under a few times on her own (with me right there). She loves it. She could do it for hours, if I didn’t get tired treading water for so long. Maybe we’ll get pictures this weekend. – b
Next Project
We’re reorganizing. Having two little girls has proven we need to be better at where stuff goes, and they’re not even shopping for themselves yet. Our “workroom” downstairs (more of a storage room really) has been inefficiently utilized since we moved in. Some quick measurements and calculations show we can store/stack 24, 66 qt. bins […]
Sleep Improvements
Not since February has Lauren slept so well. Back in February she was doing six hour stretches like it was nothing. When Jen went back to work in March, all that changed. She reverted to getting up at least 3 times a night. Some friends of ours commiserated. Their daughter had done the same when […]
