Our Trip North


Got home last night after 3 days in Napa with the California Derr kids (as opposed to the Pennsylvania Derr kids). John took Ashley to Las Vegas for her 40th birthday and some much needed rest (the woman is a saint) and Steve, Annie and I stayed at their house on the top of Mt. Veeder with the kids. And trust me, these three young 'uns (as Steve likes to call them) require a man-to-man defense....it took all three of us to take care of them and we still came home exhausted. This is why 50-year olds should not be having kids :)

More pics and stories to follow...including a tidbit on Maggies new 'pet' (hint - it has no fur, is a member of the amphibian family, and grosses out Annie :)

Ah, man to man defense. Now that my number 2 has been around a while that style is quite regular in my house. I must say though I am nervous when we have our next and we have to switch to a zone defense instead. You will have to tell us how you guys did it!

That's a great picture of all of you!

It does help to have a 1:1 ratio. My two are starting to gang up on me. Thank goodness Sid comes home next week! :)

Yeah, 50 year olds run out of energy a lot faster than younger "parents". When our twins were little it was easier, but when we added a third and then fourth...

Hey, by the way, I tagged you in my blog. Thanks for walking me through the whole "link" thing.
