Well, I’m almost done with my hunter’s safety class. It has indeed been a very long week; I look at Erin and Maggie and they feel like strangers because I basically haven’t seen them all week. I don’t know what I would do if I had to work a second job at night. It would […]

Some of you know it is that time of the year for me to find out if I have been selected for promotion. This is the third time I have been up for this one and it is a very difficult promotion to obtain. If I had stayed in Asheville, doing the job I was […]

*”Six-Year Drought” by James McMurtry. This guy is very quickly becoming my new favorite singer-songwriter. His voice, lyrics, everything–he is just awesome. If you have any leaning towards roots rock, take a listen.Â
As Erin mentioned, I spent the weekend traveling to and working at the Andrus Wildlife Management Area near Cambridge, ID. It was part […]

Tonight Jason is off building fences in the wilderness of Idaho with 8 other men. He has been waiting over a year to do just that. Well, maybe not build fences but to go into the wild wild west and spend a little time doing manly things. From what I understand he spent the day […]

We officially entered into the childhood phase where mom and dad must read the same book over and over and over again to their young toddler. Maggie, who is never still even when she sleeps, carries her favorite book Where the Wild Things Are to Jason and me and makes us read it 3-4 times […]

We haven’t written here in a while and we definitely haven’t written about Nugget updates in even longer. I can’t write everything because it’s late and I need to go to bed, so I’ll just tell you about one aspect of her recent development, namely her understanding of body part vocabulary.
