Happy May Day! Next week he turns 1, but he’s all over the place already. We literally turned around and Tevye had climbed into the laundry basket. This last week the kids’ school had Grandparents And Special Friends Day which seems like a good idea, except it doens’t happen just once a year – this…
Tevye is 11 months old. Only now have we begun sleep training him. Yes, we previously had established a nap schedule and a regular bedtime, and that works fine for the most part. the problem is sometimes it took far too long to put him down. Like nearly an hour. It shouldn’t take that long to…
Last Saturday was crazy busy. Dela had the Emerald City Feis (Irish dance competition) and August and Ciaran had their Cub Scout pinewood derby – at the same time. Let’s begin with Dela. Unfortunately since I had August and Ciaran (and Xavier and Tevye) this meant Laura was trying to take pictures and video of…
Brother against sister. August and Déla were playing with the Star Wars toys we recently recieved. I decided to play some appropriate music to accompany them.
I know…. it’s been a couple of weeks. Things have been busy, of course. Let’s start off with Easter. I already told you the story behind this travesty. The week following Easter was Spring Break for the kids, but not Laura. While the kids were off and on not doing well the weather was nice…

The second reason is we are still…
This year for Easter I was up late the night before. The reason why is unimportant and has little to do with the rest of the story. The point is, I was up very late and wound up getting just a few hours of sleep. The following story involves my nearly 5 year old, Xavier.
What happened in Seattle on Tuesday? It was absolutely bonkers! 15 blocks to the south of us there was a storm. 30 blocks to the north of us there was some hail. Then there was what happened on our block. That’s not rain falling from the sky. It hailed for – and I am not…
I was late on Friday for Stations Of The Cross. I’ll get to that in a minute. This year I struggled with what to do for Lent. Every year I try something and it doesn’t stick. One year I tried giving up chocolate. That worked for a few weeks, but not the whole of the…
I bought a box of Peanut Butter Crunch the other day. This is not a cereal I would normally purchase. Sugar is the second ingredient. I will admit to purchasing cereal with sugar in it, but usually not when it is so prominent. Actually, at this point unless it is at Costco I only by…
