The framing process of building a new home makes the whole process seem very quick. We were blown away by the progress on our future home in Park City but we know that the “finish work” is time-consuming so don’t make plans to visit yet! Projected finish date is next Spring. Can’t wait – we will move summer of 2015.

#DadChat Discusses How to Explain EVIL to Our Kids – 9/11
September 11, 2001 — I remember it VERY WELL. I think most adults do. A friend called and said to turn on the TV. I did. I didn’t leave it for hours. My boys were 4 and 7. They were largely oblivious. I think school was cut short that day. I don’t remember. They didn’t understand or ask many questions. #DadChat this Thursday — September 11, 2014 from 6:00 – 7:00 p.m. PT/9:00 – 10:00 p.m. ET — will talk about HOW to discuss/explain such huge world tragedies and EVIL to our children. It is NOT easy to do. We should NOT protect them fully from the world’s travails but age appropriate talk is important.

My #Travel Buddies in #India and #Africa
Meet some of the people that we traveled with to 13 countries in Africa and India, 22 cities, in 33 days at the end of 2013 and beginning of 2014.
Sleepovers
When I was a kid, I did “sleepovers” at my friend’s houses. By the time I was double-digit age, it was no longer “cool” and it stopped. Today’s kids start sleepovers early and, apparently, they never end. Today, there are sleepovers of groups of high-schoolers, and sleepovers of boy/girl couples IN one of their parents’ homes. HELLO?
Mozeying in Mozambique #Africa #Travel
Mozambique, Africa is and was a very dangerous place when we ported there in December/January. Consequently, we chose to stay on the ship so this is just what we could see from port. Given we went to 13 countries, 22 cities, in 33 days, we didn’t feel deprived on our trip to Africa, India, and the UAE.
#DadChat Is Teaching Kids to Care #NoKidHungry
