Really Annoying
I left my Fitbit in my other pants after Abigail’s swim class today. The big red box indicates the time in which my fitbit wasn’t with me – wasn’t with me when I was most active. errrrr. – b
Swim Lessons
The pool is freezing. There are 5 to 7 kids in the class. Abigail is one of two girls. I was a little concerned at first because all she could pay attention to was everything other than the lesson. Once accustomed to her new surroundings, she did just fine. The jumping in and climbing out […]
Dumb Dad
Today after Abigail’s first swim lesson we were sitting in the locking room drying off and getting dressed. As I combed her hair – because you have to comb it or it gets all kinds of tangled – I thought back to last fall when I met a father at a birthday party who wouldn’t […]
Live in the Trees
I just remembered a cute little thing Abigail said the other day while we were sledding. A couple of times her sled would veer off course and make its way into the pine trees along the side of our property. It did it enough times we could yell “Cover your face!” and Abigail would put […]
Our Nights
At least as I think I remember them. I swear I feel like we’ll all be sick forever. Last Night Got Lauren to bed by 8 pm. Got Abigail down by 8:45 pm. Abigail got up twice before 9:30 pm claiming she had to go potty, when in fact she did not. Unfortunately we still […]
All Pro
I’ve got a 1,000 ft icy slab to climb with gear on my back (and feet) in 5 weeks. I’m hoping these weights around the office give me some edge by then. Or I’m just fooling my self. Some last desperate action for fitness, I just can’t achieve. – b
New App
Built a new app with our ThingWorx product. All these years I never really tracked any of the data around our pellet stove usage. I couldn’t really say how much it cost us to heat our house for a winter or month or anything. I had only rough guesses. First thing I did was create […]
Swimming Too
Abigail and I are signed up for swimming lessons starting this weekend. Here we go. Off to the child activities overload calendar. Hopefully not. Considering we own a pool and there will be two toddlers making their way through it’s waters next summer, this seems pretty necessary. At least in theory anyway. – b
Who’s Kid is That?
I have to step back every now and then and marvel at who/what my child’s become. We get so busy between dishes, dinner, discipline, work, holidays, etc., we have to stop and watch, appreciate, love and prepare ourselves for the people they’re becoming. In the middle of all this is her life – her world. […]
Boomerang Sick
I think what the girls had around Christmas has come back to them. It only lasted 2 or 3 days each, but now it’s back. Abigail woke up twice last night (Lauren slept the night – go figure) before finally ending up in bed with us. She was super stuffy and generally unable to breath. […]
