They don't make them like they used to...thank goodness!

Came across this video today and it shocked me a little. I used to (up until 5 minutes ago) that these older cars were so solid that they'd perform better in a crash.

This is a video of a 2009 Chevy Malibu crashing into a 1959 Bel Air.




Though I think we overdo it on safety laws in this country, this video illustrates that the overcorrection is worth it (to me anyway).

Baby Instructions....

I spent a bit of time with my sisters amazing triplets recently. I wanted to make sure I was doing things right. It's been nearly 10 years since I had a baby in the house, and I wasn't at home much back then. My amazing wife did nearly all of the work.

I looked up some how-to's and came across this: Baby Instructions

I found it to be simple and to the point and was able to make a few adjustments to my baby handling techniques. Everyone have a look. . . especially if you'll be around babies anytime soon. You probably forgot some of these basics.

Click the link to see all of them...but here are a few of my favorites.

My reunion on DCI 's DC-eye

The little reunion I helped organize made it to dci.org's DC-eye fan-submitted photos.

Kinda fun. I'm there on the upper right. Here is the DC-eye entry. Here is our little facebook group. This was an epic and unforgettable reunion and night. One of our own even got engaged at the show!
