Off the Couch and On the Trail. Preparing for Our 2013 AT Thru-Hike. Musings on the Edge of Hurricane Sandy. As I sit here in Rockville, Maryland looking out the window at what has to this point been a minor storm, I am given cause for thought. Father-Son Overnight Hike Day 2. Gear Review- GSI Halulite Minimalist.

Tuesday, May 12, 2015. Adriel went to school on her birthday- unlike last year. She had a Harry Potter themed party. Tyler made cool wands with chop sticks and hot glue- but this picture is BEFORE he painted them so the finished product was even cooler. We decorated balloons to look like owls, did some Harry Potter trivia, and played Quidditch. The inside was pretty cool! The party continued all day, as we had a house-full of Holmes! .

Get published in something, anything.

Saturday, February 23, 2013. At her last check-up they said she was in the 10th-25th percentile for height and weight. There you have it! .

Tuesday, March 31, 2015. How do you sum up a year? How do I even begin to sum up this year? Entertained every day. How to keep a house running. How to battle my anxiety about caring for a baby.
