Running Wild

The kids are very busy with outdoor activities lately. Linus had his last skating lesson this week. Unfortunately Yen forgot his helmet, so he had to wear one from lost…

Skating

Well this is embarrassing! Linus is officially better at skating than I am. Look at him go! Sometimes you can’t see him because his biggest fan, Mina, gets in front…

February 9 – April 14, 2019

This post is going to cover a long period! It begins back in February when still had snow and still lived in our old house. And Linus was tugging at…

Skating

You may recall that our previous attempts to get Linus out onto the ice were met with tepid results. This year, though, we put him back in formal lessons, and…

Linus Wishes Mommy Would Stay Home

Boy, is this an overdue post! As I write this, it’s overcast and in the low 60s. But this post is going to take us back to sunny and 90s…

Cuckoo

Linus turned the couch into a cuckoo clock – with two cuckoos!

Biking Boston

Linus announced a few months ago that when he turned 4, he’d be old enough for pedals. Yen put them on last week and has been working with him, but…

Riding in Style

We’ve been discussing changing our biking configuration. Mina is getting tall enough that Yen can’t really lean over to power up hills. I think we’re going to make the big…
