Travel isn't all that glamorous.

Any one that knows our family is aware that we're frequent travelers. Planes, trains or automobiles it really doesn't matter we're always up for an adventure. Opinions seem to range from "You're all crazy" to "What a glamorous life."

While it's difficult to debate "you're all crazy" moniker, senior boy can definitely attest to the fact that travel isn't all that glamorous. After logging over 100,000 miles in the air in 2008 punctuated with flight delays, lost baggage, surly flight attendants and intrusive airport security the "glamor" does begin to fade.

That said, any good adventure is worth a little pain and so Four Boys and A Girl will continue to brave the travel arteries of the world even if it means sleeping in airports!

Gulity as charged - We're proud parents!

Parenting has been a wonderful experience thus far. First words and first steps are emotional benchmarks that defy accurate description. However, when a son shows interest in a parent's passion the word proud does not even begin to describe it.

It's no secret to friends and family that four boys and a girl are a water oriented family. No surprise there given that the senior boy and girl met on a dive boat in Key West, Florida. So when boy number 2 opted to join dad mom on a snorkel with a 40 ft whale shark it was a momentous occasion. Of course mom and dad haven't been shy about their 4 year old's exploits either.

Boy number 3 although not yet completely water safe refuses to be outdone by his older brother. I suspect mom and dad will be buying him snorkeling gear this summer. At this rate they'll be swimming circles around mom and dad in no time! Yep, you might say we're a a bit proud!

Cheers,

Four Boys and a Girl

Left Brain versus Right Brain

The girl of the family is definitely the artist of the family.  The senior boy while a fan of the arts definitely leans to the left in the brain department.  Perhaps that's why he's in management.  So the question is which way will the boys lean?  Right or left?  The jury is still out, but judging by this picture and their fascination with music and dance we're betting the right side of the brain may just win out.   

Hmmm...it could be rather lonely on the left for the senior boy of the family.  We'll at least there's our boy dog.  Surely he must be left brained!  

Cheers,

Four Boys and a Girl
