It wouldn’t be social media if I didn’t brag about my kids occasionally. Here is one of our 8 year olds crushing this really steep overhang where she can’t even reach the footholds because she’s too short. Didn’t get the send this time but figured out the beta.

Just had to help a mom carry her double stroller through this snowbank so we could go out into the street to catch the bus. Another person had to help her older kid climb over a 3’ tall pile to catch a school bus. We have to do better.
Snow pile at the curb with a low spot in the snow where people are climbing through. A car is blocking the low spot and then more traffic beyond that.

Speaking of cats… our void has apparently found a new murder perch.

Hey friends, be patient with your coworkers who have school age kids. They’ve been yelling at their kids to stop hoverboarding in the house for three weeks straight. Yes her hoverboard has a speaker playing Pearl Jam.

Crews starting to dig bike lanes out of the snow! Still a lot of snow out there so be patient with the plow operators, they have been working nonstop for over three days now.

Lest we forget:
Picture of raccoon damage do a cyber truck with accompanying text that says “raccoons are trying to break into cybtrucks, and there’s some speculation that this is happening because the raccoons are literally confusing them with dumpsters.”

Just finished my favorite book of the year. Read it in 2 days! One of my 8 year olds picked it out for me.

Logged back into X to check in. Looked at my last post, these were the replies. This was not unusual engagement in the last year. Trigger warning: racism, homophobia, ableism, etc.

Happy to report that both of these kiddos are safe and sound. The one in front is mine and he’s a sixth grader now. Obviously they weren’t actually forced to ride in that “bike lane”.

No, not stock images. They should have to photoshop their own kids into their designs. One of these kids is mine! He’s a middle schooler now.

Now if you really want to highlight the absurdity of this design, photoshop a couple of three year olds into it.
Two tiny children on tiny bikes in a bike lane that is between a right turn lane and thru lanes with lots of cars around them. This is photoshopped.

Our annual family Thanksgiving tradition is running in my hometown Turkey Trot. I’m going to have to start training if I want to keep up with William. He ran 5 minutes faster this year vs last - 21:44 for a new 5k PR! Next year we are going for our respective age group wins. 😂

Look at these kids! What a fun and wild ride this has been — the 16 years Kaitlyn and I have known each other, the family we have become, and these last four years of our busy careers. Very much looking forward to the next four years and beyond.
