Life’s Little Moments

We had Parent-Teacher conferences last week. We are thrilled that both kids are doing well. We found out things that Andrew was doing in school that we didn't know he could do. We both felt kind of bad when we were done. "Gee, how dumb did we look when she said he could spell his … Continue reading Life’s Little Moments →

Moments to Remember

This past Friday I was up early and off to the state capitol. One of the bigger sleep conferences was being held at the Kellogg Center on the campus of Michigan State University. I had no idea how bad traffic was going to be so I was on the road by 5:30am. I arrived about … Continue reading Moments to Remember →

Happy 4th Birthday, Bubby!

Happy 4th birthday, Andrew!  I will never forget holding you for the first time.  Since day one, you have kept us VERY busy!!  Through all of the various health concerns, your smile was always there! I don't think you've ever slowed down.  From the minute you started walking, you have never stopped running and adventuring. … Continue reading Happy 4th Birthday, Bubby! →

Week in Review – We Need Two

After an almost 5 hour rain delay, my Tigers dropped game 3 of the ALDS. The Mariners beat them 8-4 yesterday. If they lose this afternoon, they are done. If they win, they still have to take game 5. I am still hopeful for them to advance to the ALCS. I doesn't look good, though. … Continue reading Week in Review – We Need Two →

What’s Been Going On

This past weekend was a busy one.  Once again Ella had soccer.  Watching these gals play is so fun.  I'm not sure why they all want to be the goalie. At one point over half the team was in front of the goal.  Ella had her back to the other team because she was chatting … Continue reading What’s Been Going On →

Catching Up

I realize that it's been a bit since I gave a life "update." I feel like I haven't had two minutes to even think about the past week or so. Here are some highlights... The weather warmed up a bit last week and the kids were anxious to get outside. My wife bought them something … Continue reading Catching Up →

Shave and a Haircut ….

When I think about barber shops, I picture something like the photo above. It had the huge barber pole outside and the barbers wore those white coats/smocks. Inside there were the jars with funky blue liquid in them where combs and other tools of the trade might be. There are still a few of them … Continue reading Shave and a Haircut …. →

Friday Photo Flashback

Note: This blog is about my personal experience and is not intended to bash anyone's religious beliefs. I am more than happy to share my faith with those who ask, but I also know that everyone has a right to what they believe. That being said, I will proceed. I was born and raised Catholic.  … Continue reading Friday Photo Flashback →

Life’s Little Moments

The past few weeks have been crazy. It seems like every one of us has had doctor appointments for various things. Then Ella starting Kindergarten began an entirely new schedule for us. Andrew will start preschool after the holiday, so there are yet more changes coming. _____ My father-in-law is the best! As you know, … Continue reading Life’s Little Moments →
