I had just put Xavier down for nap when the phone rang. It was the school. Déla was in the office not feeling well. So I did what any good dad would do, I got Xavier up from nap and walked over to the school to pick up my daughter. Thankfully we live about a…
I pick Xavier up from preschool every morning at 11. We come home and he’s hungry so we do lunch. Yesterday he finished his sandwich and I look over at him from where I was on the other side of the kitchen. He’s holding up two individual grapes from the small bunch on his plate,…
Ciárán had 8 teeth by the time he was 8 months old. Seriously. It was a little weird. None of our other kids had that many teeth at that time. Now at the age of 6 he’s losing his teeth. Literally. Thursday Ciárán lost a tooth. At school. As in actually lost it in the school’s…
This morning was a bit crazy. The scenario: Laura leaves every day about 6:45 in the morning for work. That leaves me with August (10), Déla (8), Ciárán (6) and Xavier (3) and I have to get them ready for (and to) school by 8:20 when school begins. I say this not as a “woe…

With all of the younger kids in school my mornings have finally opened up. More laundry getting done. More blogging getting done. And now time to visit the dentist. Several years ago one of my molars got infected and needed to get pulled. It was a horrible experience, and one that I’m surprised I can’t…
Xavier’s first day of pre-school today. He was eager to go. After dropping off August, Déla and Ciárán in their respective lines at school, Xavier asked “Can I run now, dad?” And he ran. He ran so fast I couldn’t get a picture of him. he was eager to get to preschool. When I caught…
The kids are back in school today. Mostly. Today is technically the first day of school. I say technically because it’s a half day. And not everybody is in school. It’s confusing and frustrating. I’ll explain on the way, but let’s get to the pictures. Here’s August, entering 4th grade. Déla heads to 3rd grade….
