Welcome Grace Marie

We had a boy’s name picked out pretty much from the moment Laura found out she was pregnant (again). Girls names this time were more difficult. Everybody thought we were going to have another boy. The punchline is that we had a girl, but the set-up is more interesting than not. From August on down…

D&D On The Big Screen

It’s been a while since I have posted anything on the topic, but if you’ve been reading this blog a while you know I like Dungeons & Dragons. There is a lot about the game I enjoy, the storytelling, the teamwork, the puzzle solving, etc. Well, I’m not the only one who enjoys the game. Apparently…

Let’s post the video first so you can see August’s reaction to what he received this month. Here is a closer look at what was in this month. He loves the shirt. The button was also clever and very well liked. The jury is still out on this month’s game. It’s a shame we already…

Bigger Than A Simple Loaf Of Bread

Yesterday I had a couple of errands to run in the morning. Ciaran and Dela were at camp so I only had August, Xavier and Tevye. One of those errands involved going to the bread outlet store. Thing is, we don’t get to go there often because it really is pretty out of the way….

Welcome to the “all Ciárán” edition. Sometimes he gets overlooked or passed over, not intentionally, but it happens. This week is not the case. It was his birthday a little earlier this month. He was happy to once again be having his birthday at home instead of while on vacation. A couple of days after…

Where To Stay

People ask one of two questions when I tell them we spend a couple of weeks at Yellowstone National Park earlier this summer. One is the inevitable “How was it?” The other question people ask first was a bit surprising. “Did you camp?” And this question was asked by people who know me, people who…

Music Monday: Queen (Part 3)

I now have all of Queen’s released studio recordings, which may not seem like a big deal, but it is not as clear cut a prospect as you might initially imagine. There are of course the fifteen albums the band has released, but that’s not the whole of it. Each of those studio albums has been…

We went on a family road trip vacation to Yellowstone this month. Tevye did not get his regular nap schedule so there were times when he simply fell asleep where he was. The little guy got so tuckered out just being carried around sometimes. Sometimes he was so tired he couldn’t even finish his lunch….
