Parents vs. Play Station

Here's a little more ammo we can use in our constant battle to keep video game systems out of the house. So they don't just turn kids into slack-jawed zombies, they also cause physical harm.

Digging Deep For Good News

Guess you could call this a silver lining in the current economic situation. And it's not bad for the sharks either, as they don't really like to eat people anyway. At least that's what I'm told.

It's A Start


So this winter has been so cold and snowy we have been forced to dip our toes ever so slightly into the world of winter sports. First, a little ice skating, and then, a couple of weeks ago, some fun sledding on a local hill. At first the kids were a little reluctant to venture out into the arctic landscape, but after one or two runs down the hill, they were sold . . . that is, at least until Stephen got snow inside his clothes! Picture taking was a little rough, as I had to ride the sled down with Matthew over and over, but I did manage to get a few, including the one above, and some more here.
