Drowning Doesn't Look Like Drowning
Posted by Danielle Bean in Health on Monday, July 12, 2010
All of us watch our children carefully and count heads around pools, lakes, and other bodies of water.

Where We Parked for Dinner Last Night
Posted by Danielle Bean in Family on Wednesday, September 09, 2009
We celebrated the start of our school year with a boat ride and dinner at the lake last night.
Kids swam. Grown ups connected. Loons laughed. Sun set.

On Sunday, my brother Patrick II and his son Patrick III arrived, suits in hand, and spent the afternoon enjoying our pool. This was Patrick III’s first time back in the water this year. He will turn four in July and is at that reckless age where... READ MORE
A Summer Tease
Posted by Danielle Bean in Family on Wednesday, April 29, 2009
Temperatures here yesterday reached the high 80’s.
We were impressed. Late April just doesn’t do that here in New Hampshire.
The weather man said the heat wouldn’t last, so we decided to make the most of it with our first lake trip of the season.
Where it all came rushing back to me.
The head counts: I count to eight ... I count to eight ... I count to eight ... I count to seven. I panic, spin in... READ MORE
