My brother took some time off from work last week and came up for a visit. Sadly, I worked most of the week, but we had some time during the weekend to catch up. The kids are always happy to see their uncles. We got to spend Friday evening with them before the kids went … Continue reading Life’s Little Moments

(Sort of a) Friday Photo Flashback
Earlier in the week, I recapped our Memorial Day Weekend. I found a couple pictures that I wanted to share, but didn't necessarily feel that any one of them would be worthy of an entire blog. So technically, we are "flashing back" but only a little bit. Our dog, Mabel, is spoiled. She assumes that … Continue reading (Sort of a) Friday Photo Flashback
A Memorable Memorial Day
It was nice to have a couple of family days this week. I don’t work Mondays, so I took Tuesday as my holiday. I was still busy, but busy doing things with my wife and kids. On Monday morning, my wife saw that Tractor Supply Company had fruit trees on sale. She’s been talking about … Continue reading A Memorable Memorial Day
Recapping Past Few Days
It's been busy our way! We've been on the go since Saturday. We had to so some running around in preparation for Mother's Day. We made cards, bought flowers and a big cookie that was supposed to look like a tic tac toe board with hearts and "Mom" in the middle of it. However, on … Continue reading Recapping Past Few Days
What’s Been Up?
My apologies to you dear reader. It seems that I neglected to mention that last Friday was International Tuba Day! I actually played tuba for a short time in high school. Ella and Andrew had their final T-ball practice on Monday. It really is organized chaos and so fun to watch. They were practicing batting, … Continue reading What’s Been Up?
It’s the Simple Things
Our lives are constantly busy. So often, we forget to enjoy the little things. That's exactly what I did this week. For example, I noticed the birds singing away as I stood outside with the dog at 6am. I made it a point to really enjoy the first cup of coffee in the morning. No … Continue reading It’s the Simple Things
Summer’s Coming
We’re barely into spring, but the signs of summer are starting to show up. The kids will start their T-ball season in a couple weeks. They had their first practice earlier in the week. It was a tad chilly out, but they did great! They each took turns hitting into the practice net. Andrew was … Continue reading Summer’s Coming
A Looney Afternoon
Yesterday, my daughter and I watched cartoons. We also went to the symphony. Actually, we did both at the same time. We spent the afternoon at the Detroit Opera House for Bugs Bunny at the Symphony. The day was supposed to be my friend Margaret, the kids, my wife and me. Margaret bought the tickets … Continue reading A Looney Afternoon
Friday Photo Flashback
Today's Flashback consists of a few photos. 24 years ago tomorrow, I became "Dad" for the first time. My son, Dante, was born. I can remember so many details of that day. It was one of the most chaotic and emotional days of my life. My mom could not wait for her first grandchild. She … Continue reading Friday Photo Flashback

Yesterday I took my daughter to Urgent Care with a fever. No Covid. No Flu. No Strep. Instructions were to alternate Tylenol and Motrin. This morning the fever is still there. No more puking for my son last night. He actually slept good. That was a relief. I stayed up working on transferring some files … Continue reading Share and Share Alike
