Ticks Everywhere
Mild winter means active tick season. So far the household record holder is Abigail with 5 in one day. The neighbors kid had 8. It’s so bad I’m finding them randomly in the house. Makes me nervous for the deer ticks. They’re supposed to be at their worst in May. Will have to keep an […]
Almost Forgot
Both girls skied black diamonds this year at our local mt. Sure that’s not the same as the bigger mts in New England, but they both also managed a very icy blue on Whiteface. Yeah. Lauren was 4. – b
2015/2016 Ski Season
Just some quick shots from this past ski season. It didn’t amount to what we expected, but we got some time on the slopes. This is Abigail snowboarding for the first time. She did really awesome. Abigail riding the gondola at Whiteface in Lake Placid. Lauren skiing down Whiteface. Lauren on a solo ski day […]
Dirt Bike Days
Been trying to get out on the bike as much as possible. Only way to get better is saddle time. In the beginning of the month, I managed a couple of trips up to Jim Thorpe, but those are tough being that they’re all day affairs. That’s the abandoned dam in Nesquehoning we can ride […]

The original plan was to have a heat pump pool heater installed and move the equipment away from the house. Considering the mark up they quoted and what we can get the heat pump for ourselves online, we opted for just the equipment move. Instead of between the house and pool, where we frequently walk […]
Daredevils
As if that wasn’t enough, they decided to try out their balance bikes on Dad’s new loading ramps. Completely on their own, without me spotting, they started low then worked their way higher until they could ride freely from the top. From across the yard, I couldn’t tell if the neighbor with his 5 […]
New Process
Obviously the blog is falling behind. Surprisingly it takes a lot of time. Time I rarely have these days. The biggest issue is the photos. The blog system (or the way it’s configured) and the gallery I have require photos to be of a certain size. Which means every photo I wanted to post, I […]
Dirtballs
The girls have been spending a lot of time playing outside between our house and the neighbors. Only issue is the mild winter has given us a very active tick season. Not a big deal if it’s a dog tick (or 5), but the deer ticks make me nervous. We’ll just have to keep an […]
Traveling Fool
First it was too much work. Now it’s too much travel. So much that I need an expedited passport renewal. College is expensive. We do what we have to… – b
