AFTER TWO WEEKS OF RADIO SILENCE WITH A WORKING LOBSTER BOAT
After 2 weeks of radio silence, I emerge with the beginnings of a refurbished wooden lobster boat. Today, Valerie, Conor and I tested the new boat on the ocean. Okay, I took it out first to make sure everything was working properly. After a few tweaks, we all headed out together. If you can't see Conor, he's the one behind the life vest and under the hat. It was super sunny and if you haven't noticed from other pictures, he's Irish white. So sunburn is not an option.

CONOR'S FIRST SLED RIDE
After running around town looking for some snow boots in a size 5 for a fifteen month old, daddy scored. We suited Conor up and set forth for the Nickerson Post Schlitterbond hill. Okay, so I made that name up. Anyways, it was a great place to watch the neighborhood kids and their parents all having a good time in the great outdoors. Conor was unusually quiet as he looked around at all the screaming kids, snow, and sleds. It took him an easy 20 minutes of just sitting on my lap before he got up and began to walk about on his own. He eventually got the hang of it and laughed when people fell off their sleds or grabbed some air. But he never really liked going down the little hill we made for him. I guess he's just got more Texan in him than his birth certificate recorded.
