Baby Animals
We headed over to Springton Manor Farm to check out the baby animals this spring. So far they only had a baby goat and two lambs. There was another baby goat on its way. Will probably be born this week. Farmer Brown was so impressed the girls came out in the rain, he gave them […]
White Everywhere
Though winter is officially over, it snowed again. We have a nice 1″ layer on everything this morning. It’s really quite pretty, though it’s supposed to be really quite cold today. Spring will get here eventually, then summer, then the oppressive heat… – b
Setting the Alarm
It’s been years since I routinely woke to the sound of an alarm. So far it’s kind of nice. The house is quiet when I get up. Hopefully my work arrival times will improve. Maybe I’ll even get back to riding to work. – b
Family Winter Camping
Trying to do a little catch up… Back at the beginning of March, we all headed up to spend a weekend in the Adirondacks in winter. The original plan when we booked the cabin was that we didn’t really get good winters around here and this would be a cool way for the kids to […]
Into an Abyss
So it wasn’t exactly an abyss, but it was a 50′ frozen waterfall we rappelled down from the top so that we could climb back up. Craig and I did a quick trip to the Catskills last week. We hit the Playground in the Stony Clove region in the morning, then accidentally came across the […]
This Week’s Yard Work
Did it the right way this time. We rented a 6″ chipper. The chipper was pretty interesting. Didn’t take long to figure out it’s nuances and the proper chipping techniques. Though neither of us are without the bumps and bruises it will give you if you get whacked by the limb being pulled in. We […]
Last Week’s Yard Work
Last week we made an effort to start cleaning up the downed limbs in our yard. Don’t worry. The girls had strict instructions, which they actually followed, to only put the sticks from their wheelbarrow into my wheelbarrow. Only Dad or Mom could put the sticks from my wheelbarrow into the fire. And yes, burning […]
I Don’t Want To
Has been Lauren’s mantra the last week or so. Mostly used when it’s time to sleep. Not a surprise considering her sister was up till 11:30 last night waiting for us to go to bed. With sleep habits like these, they better be surgeons when they grow up. – b
Traveling Milestone
Made the 7 hour drive home from the Adirondacks without Jen or I having to sit in the back with the girls. Not bad. – b
Craig
I’ve been spending a lot of time climbing with Craig this winter. So much time that Lauren decided to change her nickname. Before leaving for my annual ADK winter cabin trip (w/ Craig), Lauren informed me she’s no longer to be known as Lulu Bear. Now she’s Lulu Craig! Oh boy. – b
