One of the biggest battles I’m currently waging is the one to keep things out of the kids’ mouths. Both boys love to chew on things – fingers, shirts, dog toys… Okay, maybe not that last one, but it’s almost that bad. It’s driving me absolutely crazy. Yesterday, we went down to see Mr. Richard […]

The boys attend Sunday school during church each week. For the most part, Sunday school at their age is just doing crafts and listening to stories. They much prefer it to sitting in church. When I picked up N (our three year old) from Sunday School yesterday, he was carrying a puppet made out of […]

As I was leaving breakfast for work the other day, my five year old stopped me: “Daddy? Daddy! DADDY!” I stopped and turned around. “Yes?” He gave me two thumbs up. “You got a lot of Hoo, dude. A lot of hoo.” I smiled and gave him my best Fonzie thumb. “Thanks, Dude. Thanks.” He […]

After breakfast this morning, as we were stretching, C announced that he was going to be the teacher. That […]

The other afternoon, J and I had overlapping work schedules. Fortunately, we have a very talented babysitter who is happy to help out in just those situations. She’s in high school, child CPR certified, and great with the kids. She showed up at 5pm, which was what J had arranged. I, however, didn’t have to […]

I may have mentioned before that I now work from home. My office is on the second floor. Actually, it is the second floor. It’s where I spend most of my days, running Live Oak Games and working on my writing. Every once in a while, however, I get the hankering to see some other […]

A few months back, someone asked C (our five year old) who cooked the best Macaroni and Cheese. That was a bit of a silly question. His Nana’s Macaroni and Cheese is legendary. It is – far and away – his favorite food. He talks about it to whoever will listen. I wouldn’t be surprised […]
