What does Ash Wednesday mean to me? At times I have a definite idea, so crystal clear, so obvious, it feels like it burns my brain. Other times I have no idea. And so I ponder. Maybe that’s the point. Lent, which began today, is a time of penance as well as reflection. Think of…
This past weekend I took August and Ciaran to Cub Scout Winter Camp. It would be August’s last time and Ciaran’s first. The first year we went there was lots of snow. The second year there was lots of rain. This year it started out raining but cleared up nicely. As is tradition now, we…
It has been a couple of weeks. We have been busy with moving back into our own house. The remodel is done to the point where we can move back in, and that has taken up so much time I haven’t really blogged much, let alone take pictures. Here is a selection of those I…
The kids don’t have school tomorrow, Friday, the day before Valentine’s Day. As such they will be doing their “celebration” this afternoon (though as this is getting posted it already happened). Everybody in his class, according to August, is creating a special box to hold their valentines in. Instead of simply having a plain bag…
Last night as we were in the middle of our evening routine getting ready for bed, my daughter Déla currently age 9, said “I don’t want to grow up. I like my childhood.” What more could you ask for?
I hate moving. Growing up mom and I moved every year or so. It wasn’t until I was in my 20s that I lived in the same place for any significant amount of time. When Laura and I moved with Kyle into our house 16 years ago I said I didn’t want to move again….
It’s been a couple of weeks, I know, but I haven’t taken that many pictures. We are all so busy, and then again, there’s nothing really to report. It’s all the hecticness of life with a gajillion kids. Earlier this month Ciaran had a Cub Scout meeting. There he worked on creating a scrapbook, one…
It’s a new year. I still have some old pictures. It’s not all older stuff this week though. Here are the shots from Christmas that turned out. Yes, that is a shot of Kyle. He came over on Christmas Eve and spent the night. Ciaran was “Santa’s helper” this year, assisting in the distribution of…
I got an advertisement in the mail the other day for a personalized item of jewelry to give to my special valentine. Now I’m sure whoever was in charge used some sort of automated search algorithm to match my name with a female’s. Unfortunately this was more along the lines of “Red Dwarf” in regards…
Tevye is 8 months old today. Four teeth, and of course solid food. Along with the solid food the bowel movements to match. I am getting tired of his naps getting interrupted by those bowel movements. Generally he is a happy baby and he sleeps (mostly). This has all been so helpful in maintaining some semblance of…
