It was forecasted for a few days now, so we knew it was coming, but we were still hoping things would change. Unfortunately it finaly hit and we now have a fair amount of snow on the ground. It’s still falling as I write this, but it slowing down and I think most of theContinue reading “First Real Snow Fall”

Christmas 2015
It’s amazing how much a difference a day can make. Yesterday was Christmas Eve, and it was a bit overwhelming. All the kids seemed to have too much stored energy and it was coming out and not always in the best ways. There was lots of bickering and arguing going on. It was a busyContinue reading “Christmas 2015”
Fitbit vs Runkeeper
For the past few days when I’m out running I’ve been tracking my runs with both Runkeeper and my new Fitbit Surge. Even if I was extremely happy with Fitbit’s tracking I would still be doubling up with Runkeeper at least until the end of the year when my goal is reached. The first dayContinue reading “Fitbit vs Runkeeper”
Getting Close
Sometime this week I will be hitting my goal of 500km in running. I’m really excited and even though it isn’t really a lot compared to many runners, some weeks it has been a battle to get my 25km in that I needed. This past week was one of them. I had started out withContinue reading “Getting Close”
Christmas Shopping with Noah
Today I was able to get out on my first shopping date with one of the kids for the year. We’ve started drawing names so each Jen and I take out two kids individually to pick out small gifts for their siblings and have a treat with Mom or Dad. We had some ideas beforeContinue reading “Christmas Shopping with Noah”
Stepping It Up With FitBit
Today I jumped on the FitBit band wagon. Only I won’t actually be on the wagon because that won’t up my step count 🙂 This is either going to be a real good thing for me or a bad one. This could be the push and the motivator for me to get back on track.Continue reading “Stepping It Up With FitBit”
Zeus, Me, and the Christmas Tree
For most of the afternoon I suffered from a headache. After school the house was pretty hectic for a while which didn’t make it any better. After dinner everyone went Christmas Caroling at a local nursing home. It was too late for Noah though and Alexandria had riding lessons. They were only there for a bitContinue reading “Zeus, Me, and the Christmas Tree”
I’ve Created a Monster
Pretty sure I’ve helped create a monster, a leggings monster. For sometime now the ladies in our house have become very enthusiastic about leggings. It’s become one of the primary pieces of clothing in each of their wardrobes. A few weeks ago Jen even hosted a leggings party at our house. An independent representative from JKContinue reading “I’ve Created a Monster”
Morning Walk at the Marsh
Jen had the day off today, well at least until after school, so we took a bit of time this morning and went for a walk around the marsh. The water had a skim of ice on the top in some places. The grass and cat tails were shimmering with a bit of frost. OurContinue reading “Morning Walk at the Marsh”
Car == Fixed
A couple weeks ago I wrote about how my car wouldn’t start, and since then it has been sitting in the drive way not going anywhere. We made out fairly well on one car, although it was challenging at times and we burned a lot more gas driving just the big SUV. Today that cameContinue reading “Car == Fixed”
