Lesson: If you say "no TV", be ready for superhero life

Setting limits for TV on Saturday is a good thing, right? But that means less coffee and paper times and more superhero action. "One more cup of coffee please before the fighting starts again." Superdog is a major villian.

adventure: spring fun

Hello- it is spring and life is busy. Camping, friends, beach, and climbing.
(Crazy life of a superhero family as Birch calls us.)

Do parents tell their kids to stay away from the ledge??

Climb boy climb!!!

Cole not a super climber yet- but a superdog already for sure!!!

lesson: be happy

A lesson from Cole about every day life.

Listen well.

I can not turn the pic no matter what- so listen sideways.

Travel: Namibia

David returns from Africa where he had no hot water for some time to Auburn Maine where he has no hot water. Boiler broken and basement flooded but dry now. Dry, like most of Africa he explored. See his latest pics.

Travel: Africa ( ok Work: Africa)

Lesson: Single parenting is hard as hell. But we hope this means that we can all be part of a family adventure soon.

Here are just a few of David's pics from some of his trips this year. More to come once David knows how to use this blog. He has really great animal pics and landscape views.

Enjoy and start planning your trip to Africa in a few years to visit.

Adventure: Easter in the snow

Is there any way to hunt for eggs if there is no snow?

Adventure: Ski Lessons

The kids learned to ski!!!!! Joey and David learned to have more patience and how to "have fun" even when it isn't fun in order to promote learning something new. Now both boys do the magic carpet by themselves and some of the green hills. Maybe in a year they will really be skiing on their own. (and then we will move to Africa where they will ski every weekend????)
