There are a number of yard work related chores I’ve been needing to get done. So far I’ve been picking away at them. Last weekend it was literally picking away at them.

Playing on the Shore
It was a nice warm day in the Valley today, so the kids and I went to visit the shore for a while. There is a neat little spot up in Black Rock I really like so that’s where we went. The Bay of Fundy has such huge tides though and it was in prettyContinue reading “Playing on the Shore”

The day before I had left for myContinue reading “Noah and Dad Time”

This afternoon has been great though. Getting together with family and friends we went for a two hour hike through the woods toContinue reading “Should Sleep Tonight”
Dance Competition Dad
For the past two weekends our family has stepped into the world of dance competitions for the first time. All three of our oldest daughters have been involved with dance at some point. Alexandria no longer does as horse riding has become her main activity. Although Noah loves to shake it around the house hasn’tContinue reading “Dance Competition Dad”
March Challenge Update
