Potholes and Puddles
Once in a while, quite often actually, I think it's good to just let kids be kids, regardless of my personal feelings on cleanliness, order, and things along those lines. Yes, we have a huge pothole in our driveway. Yes, the kids have assisted in its growth more than any other natural factor. Yes, Theodore does have his boots on the wrong feet, but it didn't slow him or his imagination down at Continue Reading...

We made our annual trip to Gould Hill Farm in Contoocook, NH to pick apples. And, as always it was a lot of fun. The day was gorgeous and the scenes, in and around the orchard were just as beautiful. Continue Reading...
The Twins Go To School
Today was another day to remember. The twins, at three-and-a-half years old, went to their first day of school. Well, pre-pre-school, as I call it. Either way, there were pictures, good-byes, anticipations, uncertainties, and excitement. To my knowledge there were no tears, and once the twins saw the school they barely even noticed that I was there any longer. Jacqueline looked back at me, but Continue Reading...

Good eating
Yesterday my three year old daughter and I were sharing some leftovers for lunch. Jacqueline was enjoying some bites of the pasta and was cordial enough to say, "Thanks for sharing your food Dad." This was very nice, but what really got me was what she said when we finished. I told her it was all gone. And as if I needed the encouragement, she said, "Really good job eating Dad!" Thanks sweetheart Continue Reading...

Thank you to Judy at Mountain View Cabins & Campground for working with us, we couldn't have done this without you. While we were up north I did take several pictures in order to better Continue Reading...

Twin quotes
After choosing the coolest day of the last five to actually venture in to the kiddie pool on our deck, the twins were soaked, and cold. Upon getting out of the pool after they were "skating" by sliding their feet on the liner under the water, they grabbed the towels that were nearby. Before drying themselves off, they proceeded to dunk their towels in the water, soaking them to the point of being Continue Reading...
Twin Navigation
Yesterday my son had a doctor's appointment before school and my wife drove him there before work. Shortly after they left I received a message that she had left her laptop and computer bag at home. So the twins and I jumped in the van and set off for the doctor's office to deliver the goods. I told the twins that we had to bring Mom her computer. Jacqueline responded: "Momma needs her pewter Continue Reading...
