Wow

By admin | Published: 29 Mar ’08

I forgot what it was like to have two children. Adding that second child to the mix really wears you out. Mason is a climber. No longer can Mason be left alone in a room with a chair and/or a table. You turn around and something like this is going on: We can’t have that. [...]

They’re Home

By admin | Published: 28 Mar ’08

Colleen and Mason had an uneventful flight back from Cleveland today. They’d been gone since last Sunday, leaving Violet and me alone for the week. I managed to keep the house and my oldest child all in one piece. You really can’t say enough for stay at home parents, that’s definitely a lot of work. [...]

Taking the kids out in public

By admin | Published: 16 Mar ’08

Is this not the cutest thing you have ever seen in your life? Later in the day after we decided that we couldn’t go to church, see the post below about the meltdown, we took Mason’s nice clothes off and Violet asked where Mason’s scarf was. We finally made it out to the Easter program [...]

March 15 – Saturday

By admin | Published: 15 Mar ’08

I got off my lazy butt today and took the kids outside. Do you know how much work it is to take two kids outside to play? The idea of wrangling the two of them in the same direction is almost too much to think about. Colleen took the two of them to Jumpin’ Beans [...]

Vampire Weekend

By admin | Published: 14 Mar ’08

A few weeks ago I tried to fix this problem I was having with my iTunes. I had duplicates of just about every song on my computer. It was absolutely annoying. So I fixed it. I thought. I deleted all the duplicate files. I thought. All the duplicate files ended up in the trash can. [...]

It’s 5am…

Mason woke up at four. Now, I’m awake. Here’s some pictures of the reason I am awake nearly two hours before I needed to be…

Manic Monday

By admin | Published: 10 Mar ’08

It’s become clear to me that this new version of the website has become all about me and the kids. Where’s Colleen, you might ask? Well, she’s in the bedroom sewing, like a good wife. I was going to insert this really cool picture of Colleen sewing under this huge wedding dress but I can’t [...]

My Outstanding Weekend

By admin | Published: 9 Mar ’08

A conversation relayed to me by Colleen: Violet: I need Daddy. Colleen: He’s taking a shower and spending some time by himself. Violet: But, what about me? A conversation I had with Violet last night: Me: (In the midst of a windstorm) Violet, look out the window, what are the trees doing? Violet: The trees, [...]

Curls

By admin | Published: 7 Mar ’08

Mason staring at the rain on the deck. Mason nearly looking at me when I took his picture. He never looks at the camera. Do you see his several thousand dollar smile? Notice the forty-five degree angle of the two bottom front teeth. Now, I’ve heard that you shouldn’t worry about these things until the [...]

A bit of an explanation.

By admin | Published: 2 Mar ’08

Our new favorite CD. There’s part of the cabinetry that is not off-limits to the children. Can you guess where that might be? Everyone’s feeling better, except the gushing runny nose of Mason. There’s always something going on with his face. I’m feeling better since my last post. Some of you were worried about my [...]
