Week 22: Sliding, races, and the Hemlock Trail

Week 21: T-Ball and Rock Climbing!

Article in WV MetroNews: Shared custody bill passes House after debate. Wikipedia tracks the shared parenting legislation across the several states (but doesn’t have this development yet). As far as I knew only Kentucky had passed a 50-50 bill, which … Continue reading
Week 16: Building a Blanket Fort
