Bestie Birthday Wish

While she has been mentioned before in a few blogs, I have one friend who has never had one completely devoted to her. Today, on her birthday, I want to rectify that. As we get older, memories tend to fade. Details can get lost. We may remember things a bit differently than they actual happened. … Continue reading Bestie Birthday Wish →

Fun At The County Fair

I got a call last Friday from my friend Margaret. She told me that the county fair was going on up by her and that Saturday was the last day. She asked if maybe we'd like to go. My wife had to work that night, so she was unable to go, but the kids and … Continue reading Fun At The County Fair →

A Much Needed Break

I had a few days off over this past weekend and I got some much needed family time. The time started on a sad note, as Thursday morning, my wife's family gathered at the National Cemetery where there was a small service for her grandma. They chose her grandfather's birthday to go and have her … Continue reading A Much Needed Break →

Songs From The Backseat

I had a day off this week and had a chance to see my daughter play T-ball. Before the game, we had to take a drive down to get my son's leg braces looked at. The whole family was in the car and Ella asked my wife to play "I am a C" song. I … Continue reading Songs From The Backseat →

Mother’s Day Recap

This was the first Mother's Day since becoming a mom that Sam had the day off. I was so glad that she was able to take the day and spend it with us. She worked the night before and on the way home, she called and told me to make sure the kids were dressed. … Continue reading Mother’s Day Recap →

Practice Makes Perfect

We signed Ella up for T-ball a few weeks back. We got her a helmet, a glove, a bat, some practice balls, shoes and a bag to carry it all. She's been pretty pumped up about it. She finally had her first practice today. The worst thing about working when I do is that a … Continue reading Practice Makes Perfect →

Morning Silliness

Ella was up before everyone today. She came into my room and woke me up. We went out into the living room and she sat on my lap. This morning was odd in that she didn't ask to turn on the TV. Instead she told me about her dreams from last night and said we … Continue reading Morning Silliness →

Brief Life Update

This week, while it has been nice to have some new features to post here, I feel like I haven't really told you what's been up our way. It's been a pretty busy week or so. I had the chance to spend the day with my daughter this week. We went to lunch at McDonald's … Continue reading Brief Life Update →

Weekend Shenanigans

I saw many folks posting photos on social media yesterday for St. Patrick's Day with shirts saying "Let the Shenanigans Begin!" Why is it that we only seem to hear this word around March 17th? It's a great word that can be used in so many situations outside of an Irish "holiday." I encourage you … Continue reading Weekend Shenanigans →

The Weekly Adventures of My Kids

There is never a dull moment at our house! The other day my wife and I are in our room. We hear Ella from the bathroom "We're playing dentist. The pink kitty has a cavity and having a tooth pulled". Sam looks at me and says, "You better check on that, I'm not sure what … Continue reading The Weekly Adventures of My Kids →
