Alright, this isn’t really that kind of post. It also isn’t exactly my birthday, but since NOTHING is open on Sunday’s here it’s necessary to accomplish certain things on a Saturday instead. Certain things like driving nearly 2 hours away to purchase a chocolate cake that comes with it’s own serial number and returning home [...]

Today the family bus embarked on a trip over to the local French Alps ski resort village to take in a little skiing action. It was perhaps a little crazy expecting a nearly 5 year old to appreciate the coolness of skiing in the Alps, a 2.5 year old to wait patiently while her older [...]

This week started off like nearly every other. Nothing too extraordinary, kids all doing their jobs; growing and learning as I like to tell them.
