Wii Introduction
We decided it was time to introduce the girls to the Wii. Considering we have only a few games, I wouldn’t go as far as to say we introduced them to video games. It’s mostly Wii Sports and dance games. It was super cute watching them learn the hand/eye coordinatation and challenge themselves to win. […]
Hit a Tree
Actually hit two this weekend, but the first was the worst. You can see the damage it caused the tree, which probably made out better than the bike. The bike lost a radiator shroud and the complete headlight assembly. Not that I used the headlight, but it was nice knowing I had one if I […]
What is That?
Crossed a creek this weekend and noticed its odd appearance. At first it looked like ice, but it wasn’t that cold and whatever it is is on the bottom. Considering the area we were in, I’m sure it had something to do with the anthracite industry in that area. Also to note, we found […]
Abigail’s First Bubble
It was probably her third or fourth, but the first ones were in the car and we couldn’t get pictures easily enough. – b
Busted Toe
Jiu Jitsu is painful. We were doing throws on Tuesday night and I caught my toenail somehow. It’s pretty much ripped off/hanging by a thread. No. I didn’t have a monster long toenail. It just caught the corner perfectly and ripped it up. I call it the zombie nail, because it’s somewhere in between dead/black […]
Snow Ride
Snowed today in the mountains over Jim Thorpe. I was told the temperature was 31 and the wind was howling, but we had a damn good time anyway. As it was I’ve been working harder on throttle control. Trying to keep a steady churn on the motor and not wildly throttle on/throttle off so much. […]
ADK Canoe 2016
I’d been thinking about an overnight Adirondack canoe trip with the girls for a while. Jen had always said we’d have to wait until they could swim. Considering this summer they swam the best they ever had and Abigail had a nice Monday off in October, I started lobbying for a fall trip with Abigail, […]
Bumps and Bruises
Jen and I are getting pretty well beat up in Jiu Jitsu, and it’s not necessarily from sparring. It’s mostly the physical requirements of the moves. We’re that out of shape. But it’s good. We’ll keep at it and get in shape. In the end it will be better. – b
Build Some Trails
I had every intention of making a giant leaf pile for the girls to play in today. Didn’t work out that way. Instead we made some trails. November is the best time to make trails. Originally they were for their balance/pedal bikes, but Lu had a different idea. I think I like hers better. The […]
