Swimming Lessons

I think it is time for me to get back to why I started this blog which was to talk about what it is like being a dad in Salem, Oregon. This evening (and all this week and next) my wife is taking our kids out for swimming lessons. This gives me a break. I highly recommend sending your kids out for swimming lessons if you get a chance. It wears them out and gives them so much exercise that they are very subdued when they get home. They even stop tearing the house apart. It's pretty neat that I get a break and mom gets to spend time with the kids. It even gives me time to write this blog =)
