Climber Girl
Abigail’s been charged up lately to climb. Watching videos of these young prodigy’s might have something to do with it. Brook Ashima She watches the videos then wants to run downstairs and climb all the “grippers”. So we’ve done a few things to “apply” her energies. First we set some routes (place tape on particular […]
Uh-Oh
Now that the night time temperatures are above freezing (on average), it’s time to take the pool cover pump out. What do we have here? The water level is much higher than it’s supposed to be. It should only be around the blue thing, yet it’s up around the label. WTH? Did it freeze and […]
Retooled
After our trips up north this year, I was invigorated with new winter activities, goals, and destinations. This of course requires more equipment, so back to the Ebay game I went. Sure enough a really nice deal came into my sights. That’s two technical tools with leashes, five screws and an ice clipper. All nearly […]
Let’s Be Friends

Let’s say she throws something across the table or ignores a request to put something in the trash that shouldn’t be left on the counter. At this point she usually receives a loud and angry verbal reprimand. In the past she’d get […]

My Glove Problem
Jen says I have a glove fetish. She thinks I buy gloves for the sake of buying gloves. It’s true. I have a 66 qt. bin nearly full of gloves and mittens just for myself, but they all serve specific purposes. The part she doesn’t understand, or the part I over complicate, is that with […]
Spring Snow
Got some shots of the girls in the snow the other day. See them in the gallery here. Have some sledding shots from later in the day, but won’t get them posted until later. – b
Couch Flips
The bouncer is done, so we came up with a new way to get some thrills. Probably not the smartest thing, but Peanut loved it. See the couch flips here. Might have a video up tomorrow. – b
Baby Animals
Made it over to Springton Manor Farm this weekend to check out the baby animals. See the girls checking out the lambs and piglets here. – b
More Lauren
Lots of pictures with Lauren this weekend. Guess I was around her more. Saturday afternoon she helped me with the pool shed. Here she takes some time out to play with Gretchen in the sun on the driveway. As with anytime with Dad, she was filthy by the time we were through. I think even […]
