Here’s my entry for this week’s “Wordless Wednesday” at Dad Blogs. Julia has taken to solid food with excitement. Just set her in her Bumbo seat and toss the bib on and she starts be-bopping away ready for the action to start. So far she’s tried all sorts of fruits and vegetables; peas, squash, sweet [...]

{Back in the NH Groove} Despite not having left the state of New Hampshire for vacation and with respect to Ace Frehley, our first week post-TLV felt like we were all just trying to get back, back in the NH groove. From out of whack sleep schedules to children now faced without having 24/7 playtime [...]

It’s amazing what two Flip video cameras and some video editing software — along with a professional film director of course — can produce in such a short time. This video certainly does capture the week we spent at TLV. Thanks Rex for putting this all together for us to have a lasting memory of [...]

{Catching Up} I’ve never been a fan of the blog author’s apology for having gone missing for an extended period of time and the subsequent promise to return to writing in some more committed style than they wrote prior. So you won’t get such an apology — nor commitment — from me now. Instead, I [...]

{Baboosic Lake} If you ask Ryan what she’s doing the summer, she’ll proudly rattle off the following; “swim lessons, vacation, Montessori Camp and Farm Camp”.

{Under the Sea} For the past nine months, Ryan has spent nearly every Saturday morning at the Dimensions in Dance studio’s pre-ballet class for children ages 3-5.

{Party On} After having to postpone Ryan’s fourth birthday party last weekend due to illness, I wasn’t looking forward to the decisions that would have to be made as I watched the hour by hour forecast the night before her “make-up party” — starting at 1 pm the likelihood of rain, check that…thunderstorms, was 80% [...]
