You know how I love a good adaptive adventure story! The best part about this one is that it is just a good damn adventure story– adaptive or not! I’ve been following some men in a boat, virtually of course, and it’s been a wild ride including crazy high waves, tropical storms, countless blisters, two… Continue reading Four Men, One Boat, Three Real Legs: 3000 Miles
We honored Martin Luther King, Jr. by skiing at Loon Mountain in some fresh lovely snow this morning. Like car rides, chair lifts and gondolas also allow for a captive audience with one’s children. The snow fell in big, fat flakes. We carved through inches of powder. We fell and laughed, and I dug our… Continue reading Talking about MLK, Jr., Minister Marcus, and Gibbs the Rabbit While Skiing at Loon Mountain
Our little boy is 6 years old today! He is a spunky, bright, active, Star Wars obsessing, site word reading, and bird of prey loving little guy, who likes to ski fast, play hard, and wear many costumes. My mom likes to compare Carver’s birth to the second coming of Christ, since everyone in our… Continue reading Wishing Our First IVF Miracle Baby a Happy 6th Birthday!
I love this photo for many reasons- kids are eating leftover snowman noses. Greta can’t see out of one eye because her hat is pulled down so far. We just happen to have a spare pair of wheels so the Daddy snowman can be authentic. No one is really concerned about how the rest of… Continue reading Identity Crisis
No, this is not our New Year’s miracle– Geoff cannot walk again. But what it is really is quite cool. This is a standing bar, bequeathed to me, well, Geoff actually, by my Uncle Gordon, who passed away almost two years ago this March. I reference a character like Gordon in True North– to be honest,… Continue reading Surprise: It’s a Standing Daddy!
Happy New Year’s Eve! We high five 2015 and conclude we’ve given this past year our best effort– we are proud of the people we love and look forward to the challenge and adventure that live just around the corner in 2016. We love the high five for a lot of reasons. Little guys learn… Continue reading High Fives, Thumbs Up, and Middle Fingers…
These are two keywords that don’t actually make a very smooth sounding title when used together, but I’m going to go with it anyway. I do not believe in the Elf on the Shelf, but I do believe in gay marriage. Let’s talk Elf on Shelf first as Christmas is just two more sleeps away.… Continue reading Elf on the Shelf and Gay Marriage
Snow. While we thought our kids were super excited about Santa’s impending arrival, the greeting they gave to our first ground covering of white fluff was nothing short of gleeful. It goes without saying that we are generally blanketed by Christmas. Here in northern New Hampshire, we’ve had the mildest winter I can remember. Our… Continue reading Snow: May She Come Again Soon…
Look how cute my date is in his white button up, stylish dress pants, skinny tie (from the Kevin Bacon Footloose era), slight product in his hair. I was one lucky girl, despite the fact that I didn’t even really like pink. I loved my hair in this picture with the matching, giant pink bow… Continue reading Throw Back Thursday: My Eighth Grade Semi Formal Date, Matthew and Me (1988)
The wee one on the far left knew that writing her name came easier to her than it did to her older brother, the husky fellow holding the red snake. She never teased him about it, but instead, would put her little hand on his arm and reassured, “It’s okay, Carver, writing can be hard.”… Continue reading Learning to Read is a Little Like Learning to Drive–Only Harder
