Saturday was quite a day. We had a photo shoot lined up late in the day for Erin's new business website, and had lots of work to do around the house before then. The kids went off to see Grandma and Pop Pop for a while, Erin and I enjoyed a quick brunch, and then went...

Day 426: Station Keeping

Day 426: Station Keeping

Quick post about Sunday, which was elegant in it's lack of big action or drama. We had talked to the kids the night before about the fact that they needed to pick up around the house before we got onto the day's activities, and when I groggily stumbled downstairs for...

Day 425: Off Target

We had a little bit of a lazy morning on Saturday. There had been some thought about taking a hike, but the weather was gloomy and threatening rain, so we decided to just take it easy. Erin tried out a new recipe for paleo chocolate donuts that turned out delicious,...

Day 424: Stormy Weather

Friday was a beautiful day, but by the time I headed out to pick up Henry from school, things started to turn a little bit. Dark clouds were rolling in, and one of the other parents I ran into on the way to school mentioned there might be some hail in the area.Henry...
