It’s amazing how quickly our little family has grown – from Meg and I, to our first cat, then another, then a third. Then came our little guy, followed last year by our little girl. Very quickly, our little starter home started to feel a little bit smaller. And so, we admit we have beenContinue reading “Wherever we go, there we are”

..And we all teamed up!
Well, it’s been awhile since I’ve actually sat down to talk a little bit about life, and that’s just because life’s been so crazy it’s been hard to find the time! As I’ve said before, I commend those of you who can post every day or even close to every day. Where do you findContinue reading “..And we all teamed up!”
Celebrating Father’s Day with some favorite on-screen dads
We’ve all seen that cliche image from times past – a father, back relaxed in an easy chair, legs propped up on a footrest. Perhaps he’s wearing a robe, smoking a pipe, and even wearing slippers. Or at the very least maybe the family dog is bringing the slippers or paper to him. I don’tContinue reading “Celebrating Father’s Day with some favorite on-screen dads”
Something very odd is happening
When something’s odd in your neighborhood, who ya gonna call? Nope, not those guys. Not the ladies currently carrying the torch either. Nope. You’re going to call a group of kids who work for an organization run by kids to investigate the odd. You call Odd Squad. I make no bones about my love ofContinue reading “Something very odd is happening”
I slept in the hallway
We haven’t been getting much sleep lately, and it has nothing to do with our six month old. No, we’ve been quite lucky that she has been sleeping, for the most part, through the night. Sometimes a need to nurse arises in the wee hours, but on the whole – she’s been great. One ofContinue reading “I slept in the hallway”
Dear Cousin Gus…
When you were a kid, did you ever write a letter to a celebrity? Obviously, I’m talking in the days before the internet, email, etc. I have fond memories as a kid of (somehow) getting hold of some celebrity addresses and writing letters to Frank Gorshin, the actor/stand-up comedian known to many as The RiddlerContinue reading “Dear Cousin Gus…”
Hopscotching
I played hopscotch today. And it was marvelous. The little guy wanted to play outside and after a roller coaster winter and early spring, it was gorgeous out. Did he want to bring anything with him? Toys, a ball? Nope. Armed simply with a box of chalk he wanted nothing more than to be outContinue reading “Hopscotching”
Imagination Celebration – The Imagination Library
As adults, it’s rare that the mail brings us much of anything other than a handful of bills to be paid yet again this month. Maybe the occasional solicitation from the car dealership. But let’s face it, it’s usually bills. Remember when we were kids, though, and something in the mail felt like Christmas time?Continue reading “Imagination Celebration – The Imagination Library”
My cloth conversion
When we were having our son more than 3 years ago and Meg brought up the topic of cloth diapers, I kept an open mind, but admit, my lack of knowledge on the subject made me pretty darn skeptical. We tried , but as with many things that go with the whirlwind of a firstContinue reading “My cloth conversion”
A Child’s Laughter
What’s that they say about a child’s laughter? There truly is nothing quite like it, I’m convinced. With both our little guy and the new little lady, we’ve been amazed at how early children start to shine through with their happiness, with smiles that light up an entire house with the mere stretch of aContinue reading “A Child’s Laughter”
