Today was supposed to be a strength-training day at the gym, but considering the 8k is coming up next Saturday, and that everything has been going to crap regarding my training for it (no running yesterday since Sam’s school was out due to the cold and Eric didn’t want us to go out in the [...]

Well, we had the Cub Scout pinewood derby last night. Our car finished pretty far down in the rankings, unfortunately. That’s us in lane 3, looking – amazingly – like a car built by a six-year-old. And that was with a lot of help! Not many of the really, really [...]

Gabe can now dress himself, even his socks, and he really would like me to let him wear his underwear, not a Pull-Up, to bed at night. The child is master of “No, I can do it myself!”, as well as stubborn about what he does and does not want to put on his [...]
