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 […]

The other night was a rough one for the boys. It seemed like one or the other of them was waking us up every hour, scared by a nightmare. I have no idea why. We hadn’t watched any scary movies or read any scary books. There was no rain or thunder to scare them. It was […]

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 […]

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 […]

The kids love the Superfriends. Last year I picked up a DVD with shows from the 70’s animated series, and the kids have been talking about the various super heroes ever since. It has been a while since we’ve watched any of those shows, but this morning C (our five year old) was apparently thinking […]
