Last week at soccer, one of the drills that we did with the team was like bowling. We set up cones with one in front, two behind that, and three in the back.

An Udder Disaster

This past Sunday was interesting. My wife had to work that night so she was asleep. The kids were playing in the living room, so I decided it was a good time to shower. I told the kids I would be jumping in the shower and I'd be out as quick as I can. Now, … Continue reading An Udder Disaster →

Friday Photo Flashback

Wednesday night into Thursday, we got hit with some decent snow. Travel was treacherous and they were telling folks to stay home. Naturally, people with a sleep study scheduled, still showed up! Urgh! I loved playing in the snow as a kid. We made snow forts and such and would be frostbitten when it was … Continue reading Friday Photo Flashback →

The Music of My Life – 2008

Welcome back to The Music of My Life, where I feature ten songs from each year of my life.  In most cases, the ten songs I choose will be ones I like personally (unless I explain otherwise).

Life’s Little Moments

It was back to work this week for me, but what a weekend to look back on! I find myself full of gratitude with each day. Turkey Day Miracle? We stayed home on Thanksgiving.

Unexpected Halloween Twist

Every once in a while my kids will do something that just amazes me. That happened last night on Halloween. I took the day off so I could be with the kids yesterday.

Dressing Up

You may remember a week or so ago that my wife bought a bunch of costumes for the kids to dress up in. Can I tell you that this has been so much fun for them, especially on rainy days. A few more costumes have been added since the original post, but what I love … Continue reading Dressing Up →
