It’s been only one week. And I’m getting this posted on Friday!! Last week I mentioned how the kids were on spring break and we hit a couple of places, including the zoo, but I was going to have those pictures this week. Here they are, starting with Ciárán and Xavier chilling in the penguin…

Music Monday: John I’m Only Dancing Again

I don’t get why this is being reissued. CHANGESTWOBOWIE is being reissued this week on vinyl, no extra tracks, and not the CHANGESBOWIE compilation that combined the two “changes” compilations. David Bowie has many “best of” compilations including the (relatively) recently released and completely career spanning Nothing Has Changed (which, even for those of us…

If nothing else I want to get back into getting these posted every week. Especially when there has been a lot going on. Grace has enjoyed trying on some of Déla’s boots lately. Notice how clean this uniform is? It will never be this clean again. First game of the season and a good base…

I really had planned on not having such a break between the previous picture oriented post and this one, but as you know, life often gets in the way. As such I am posting this on a Saturday. Oops. Sorry, Sunday. I promised more pictures of Déla in her role as Minstrel in her school’s…

Contest Of Champions

By |

Disney/Marvel sent us a few things along with a copy of Thor: Ragnarok on Blu-ray with the idea that we would have some sort of “backyard contest of champions” or something similar, inspired by a major plot point in the movie. We did have some fun, but instead of a straight competition, we decided to…

This is what happens when you don’t take too long between these posts. I don’t have a lot to share. Well, in a way, I do. Thing is, it has been a big week for Déla. Here she is getting a first place trophy for her Slip Jig. Then, out of the blue, she was…
