PrePear Yourselves.

1. Don't waste your life wishing for the next phase to start.
2. You know what to do by instinct. You can and will be a good parent.
- Commit to being the Dad that you want your daughter to remember. Because you don't get to have a do-over. So, commit to making the sacrifices now, no matter how hard, to be her hero.

It's easy to think: oh, I can't wait for when they can start walking. or going to the bathroom themselves. or get dressed on their own. Or get on the school bus. or.... etc.
And before you know it, they are gone out of the house, and you'd give anything to have that time back.

Diapers suck. Embrace the suck. One day the diapers will be gone, but you'll miss the sweet baby giggles.

So, when you get no sleep. or you have to clean up poop in the tub. or vomit all over the bedroom in the middle of the night.
Or when you can't take a poop on your own without them standing there next to you.
That too, is a gift. Where they need you, and you are there for them.
You mean everything to them. And one day it won't be that way.

But if you truly embrace that each step of the way has its own beauty and challenges. You won't look back on your life with sadness. You'll have savored each day, and you'll have those special memories that you get to keep forever in your heart that will fill you with happiness.

5...6/7 sport legitimate title contenders.
Could be a really fun 5-10 year ride.

Modern pro basketball is unwatchable.

50 inches at tahoe in last 48 hours.
They need to open the lifts so we can make some laps.

Some snow the past couple of days.
Snow storm rolling through all next week. :cheers:

Storm needs to intensify and deliver snow everywhere.
I'm seeing Utah snow pack is at lowest recorded levels in the 45 years they have been tracking it.
Woof.

Meh. Football is a zero sum game. Not every team can have a winning record.

Every alumnus would like his school to win.
But they have to be honest with themselves about where their school falls along the spectrum.

Power 4 have the money to try to win and can buy wins from group of 5.
Tech can not.
Does that mean they shouldn’t want to win? No.
But 8 wins and a bowl is good for them.

26/2=13
13+7=20

Violates the..... "rule".
:rolleyes:

18 and consenting and getting 20 years is ridiculous when we see a post a day about female teachers with no punishment.

Where is the snow?
None in the forecast for the next week either?

How is it that dallas and Shreveport have almost a foot, and the Rockies have none for 3 weeks?

Live in Houston so accessibility is the key as we have little ones at home we won’t bring and don’t want the in-laws to have to deal with them for more than 4-5 nights.

We went to Big Sky when we were bringing our littles for the first time.
Depending on how old they are....
They have a daycare on the mountain. Literally right next to the lift.

Ski school is great, too.
For the adults, the mountain is amazing for intermediate and advanced skiers as well.

Now, there isn't much else to do there as for as night life as it is a ski mountain and not a resort.

Fly into Bozeman and make the drive. Very easy.
$269 from IAH and 6 hours total flight, 1 stop in dfw.
