Now as a parent with three small kids (not as small as yours) I'm rekindling my interest in sailing and trying to bring the family along with me. Bloggers such as you and S/V Delos serve as a nice inspiration.<br /><br />The catalog of your daily routine and mention of wouldn't it be nice to have a time-lapse video of your day reminded me that I do have a time-lapse video of one of our day sails on the Columbia River in Portland, OR. Enjoy, whenever you have some Internet and personal bandwidth.<br /><br />https://drive.google.com/file/d/0BxsEi_9S1c67MGdka3lMTmJaSFU/view?usp=sharingJoshhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17889245603749673068noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12630726.post-91508484161137670382015-02-08T14:44:20.926-06:002015-02-08T14:44:20.926-06:00I don't have children at home any more and mea...I don't have children at home any more and meals are still a hassle. I would like to eat Cheerios and milk and the occasional pound of bacon. <br /><br />Seriously, twenty one meals a week for two adults is a pita. How did I do it when I had a family?<br /><br />Kudos to both of you for getting out there and handling life; while on the hook.<br /><br />Seven years to retirement. I hope we can have even a small percentage of the fun you guys are.<br /><br />And yes, live life in the moment and find joy in every day. They grow up in the wink of an eye.Mariehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11555524232243452021noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12630726.post-42285925898413492502015-02-08T13:22:43.290-06:002015-02-08T13:22:43.290-06:00Isn't it insane how much time us parents spend...Isn't it insane how much time us parents spend... preparing food, feeding, cleaning up after feeding?!

I couldn't have done it (I have two, now grown, boys). Keep it up. Time will pass. In a couple of years, Isla will be old enough to help, and the twins will be out of diapers. Life will be easier. It will start to get fun.

My mother (who had 4 young boys herself) said almost those identical words when my boys were your girls’ ages. Because of that, I learned to try to embrace the moment when things got really nuts. I, like you, did not always succeed, but I did learn to try and laugh at the crazy situations we found ourselves in- and we weren’t on a boat! <br /><br />You are doing it right. <br />Love, laugh, and squeeze them tight. <br />Those moments will be gone before you know it.JCFhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06282666100009420860noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12630726.post-55035384159245752722015-02-07T11:40:31.876-06:002015-02-07T11:40:31.876-06:00transition times are the issue.
