The Dad Life

So at some point I blinked and it was mid April. To say a lot happened in the previous two months is an understatement. While I'll be glad to tell you about these things in person, I've decided that the blog is not the best place for them.

I've now been home for over 4 months. Many of you have been asking "How is it going?" I've had time for the new/different to wear off. Best way to sum it up is with this picture.

Glen, that's just a random picture of some lettuce. Not quite. This is lettuce I intentionally placed on my cheeseburger tonight and ate. Now, for those of you that know my life long fight against vegetables that was enough to make you gasp. However, we are just getting started.

This is not just mere lettuce that I ate at dinner. A couple of weeks ago Anna wanted to start a garden. She has been asking about it all winter long. She loves cooking/baking and is easily the biggest proponent of eating healthy in our house. So on the first nice day of March we went to Lowes, bought supplies, and planted the above lettuce. We watered it consistently. We put a nice fence around it to keep out animals. We covered it during repeated frost warnings. Anna checked on it everyday. Today some of it was ready. We harvested it, washed it off and had it with dinner.

Prior to coming home I never thought there would be a moment where I would intentionally eat lettuce, much less lettuce grown in a garden I planted with my children. Back to your question. How is it going? I'm loving it.

Also, I left the diaper bag at Cambridge again today. :-P
