Note from Seth: This is a continuation of my earlier post. Make sure you’ve read part 1 of my driver license nightmare so you’ll understand just what I’ve been dealing with. The morning of the 17th I got a phone call from Lucille at PennDOT. You know how sometimes you can picture the person at …

Driver license nightmare
My driver license expired on my birthday a few weeks ago. Usually, this isn’t newsworthy, it just means having to spend a few hours at the DMV dealing with entirely competent and friendly government employees. Trying to minimize the hassle, I went online the night of my birthday to prepare all the documents and applications …
Jake for President
A couple weeks before school ended, Jake came home and told me he was thinking of running for Student Council Vice-President. I was a little surprised, but happy he was interested in trying something new. Seth asked him why he didn’t just run for president. Jake said a lot of people were running for president. …
Pins were the real winners
We needed to just get out of the house the other day, but it wasn’t warm enough to play outside, so we decided to go bowling as a family. We’re not big bowlers, which is obvious by looking at the scores below. Claire and Drew (he took the second shot) could barely get the ball …
Getting left behind
Poor little Ellie, I feel bad for her. But, she’s brought this upon herself. You see, Ellie doesn’t travel well. She’s a horrible traveler, actually. And now, she will be left behind. The entire family is taking a much-needed vacation to Disneyland here in the near future. We’ve been planning this trip for more than …
Reviewing Twenty Ten
I did this same thing for 2008 and 2009, so it just wouldn’t be right if I forget about 2010. Here is my annual year-in-review post highlighting some of the best posts from this last year: January 2010: Not a whole lot of activity here on the blog because we were very busy packing up …
Drew doesn’t like V8
After hiking to Silver Lake, we had a quick picnic. Drew decided to try some V8. He spat most of it out, but we managed to get the aftermath on video. At first, we tried to get him to try it again. He wasn’t doing it. We tried to bribe him, and he resisted. So, …
Moose in the road
How do I manage to cross paths with giant, dangerous animals while on standard, boring bike rides? I’ve encountered a cougar, a bear, and now a moose no further than 10 miles from my work. This bike ride started like just about every other one. Dennis (a co-worker whom often rides with me) and I …
Chocolate mustaches
As we were enjoying some chocolate-covered treats, one of the girls got some chocolate around her mouth. Megan and Katelyn were already a bit silly and hyper, and so this was hilarious. Then, they start to smear chocolate all over their faces. Then one of them says, “Hey, you look like a boy.” Then one …
A simple leaky faucet
One of the problems with our home is that it’s ten years old now. Things are starting to require some maintenance. Now I’m no handyman but I’m no completely hopeless, so when Manina mentioned the tub faucet leak has been getting worse, I thought I’d take a crack at it. I pulled the hardware off …
