The Beard
The 2013/14 seasonal beard has reached full on mountain-man status. Jen, of course, hates it. But when I’m lying on the couch with Lauren on my chest way before it’s time to get up, and she’s twirling her fingers in it as we try to sleep, I think “There’s no way I’m shaving my beard!” […]
Skiing Twice
I’ve taken Abigail skiing twice now. The first time (last weekend) we concentrated on just getting used to things. We spent most of the day on the “bunny” slope with me running (in ski boots backwards) and Abigail trying to snow plow and keep on her feet as she skied short “bursts” toward me. By […]
Princess Parade
Came home tonight to both girls wearing princess dresses and crowns chattering up a storm. That’s the best way to come home from a long day of work. – b
Tea Time
For lunch the other day the girls had salami (Abigail’s favorite) and cheese sandwiches, mint tea, and fresh snow. Perfect little lunch. For dinner we changed it up a little bit and added food coloring and chocolate chips to the snow. – b

ADK December 2013

New Features
Added some new volumes to the girls wall. Next is the fun part. Setting routes for the girls. Still need to finish the hideout and cave. – b
Bread and Butter
In the past week Gretchen has eaten another stick of butter (from the covered butter dish) and a loaf of bread. To all those that felt it wasn’t a big deal to feed my 65 lb dog, who easily reaches the counter tops, I thank you. This avoidable nuisance is just what we need around […]
Acquired
Jen and I have a new employer. Our company was acquired by PTC. Should be interesting. – b
