Thanksgiving Wrap-up
I hope you all had a fantastic Thanksgiving this year. We had a great visit with family and fun and food were consumed in great quantities. We hosted the festivities at our house this year as we are now in the center of the family diaspora. The nice bit of …
Treasure the Moments
Treasure the moments you have with your family and friends. You never know when those moments can be gone. I had a little reminder about that last night when Thing 3 had a fever-induced seizure. Fortunately, he is fine and the paramedics and doctors have assured us that it happens …
Responsible Adult-Type-Things
Now that I am graduated I have decided that it is time to start acting like a responsible adult. One of the first adult-type-things I am doing is to buy a house. The Wife and I have been waiting a long time for this event to occur. Actually, we would …
Embarrassing Moment #251
The following embarrassing moment occurred last Sunday.
We were at church and the kids had been surprisingly good for a change. No fighting or causing too much ruckus. The Wife and I were beginning to think that we had made it. Time for the closing prayer.
During a small pause …
Happy Thanksgiving
Just a note to wish you all a Happy Thanksgiving. The family and I will be off on a trip to Mom’s house. It will be a good time and we’re looking forward to getting out of town for a while. My brother-in-law may have received his Wii by then …
Rewriting the Classics
When I started this little site I began referring to my kids as Thing 1 and Thing 2 after the characters in The Cat in the Hat. It worked rather well, and seems to fit their personalities. But now I am faced with a quandary. What do I call the …
Remembering Grandma
I have been meaning to write about this for a few days now, but I just couldn’t think of way to do it justice. This definitely won’t fit the bill, but I don’t feel right about letting it pass without saying soemthing.
My Great-Grandma Lucy passed away last week. It …
Trust Me on the Sunscreen
There was a “song” that came out a few years ago that I have been thinking about over the last couple of days. It was called Everybody’s Free - To Wear Sunscreen. I have been pondering its wisdom over the weekend due to the fact that I am suffering …
And a Debilitating Disease it is
I was out running a few errands the other day with Thing 1 and we were having a little chat about things. Talking about his pre-school and other things like that. It was during this conversation that this little gem came up…
Thing 1: Jace is sick.
Happy Halloween
Update: I have (finally) posted the pictures. Hey, better late than never.
Happy Halloween everyone! Just a quick post to say what I…just…um…said. Anyway, I also wanted you to know that in a fit of creativity I told The Wife that I had the perfect costumes for the kids. …
100 Years
Its not everyday that someone turns 100. Much less frequently is it someone I know. But this weekend is just such an occasion. My Great-Grandmother will be 100 years old. That is a lot of years. The amazing thing is that she is still in pretty good health. In fact, …
Belated Season’s Greetings
So this is a little late, but I was pretty busy during the Holidays. I hope you all had a wonderful Christmas. I certainly did. Did you get everything you wanted? Good. I got a lot of new books and movies, and a gift card or two that I will …
Ode to the Snooze Button
Having kids changes your life in ways that you can’t possibly imagine. Everybody tells you this as you are expecting your first child. The problem is that you can’t fully appreciate this until they arrive, and by then its too late.
There are a lot of things I took for …
