Ciárán has turned into a reading machine. First grade has been very good to him. He has steadily improved his ability and actively enjoys reading – something you simply can not teach. Over the last couple of weeks he blasted through the last few of the Diary Of A Wimpy Kid books. Then in two…
So I still have some pictures from last year to post, including Christmas, but they are going to wait as they aren’t nearly as exciting as they may sound. Instead I have these to offer. Monday August and Déla went ice skating along with a few other kids from their school. August started out hugging…
“Baby It’s You” wasn’t the only song by The Shirelles covered by The Beatles on their debut album. This was an unusual move for the group, because they would cover the same artist over time, usually live (look at the two BBC albums as well as Anthology for examples) but only twice did they cover…
This is another song that was covered by numerous bands before The Beatles took it and made it their own. “Roll Over Beethoven” was a Chuck Berry song that was one of his early hits. This song would be a stable of The Beatles in their early years as one of the building blocks they…
Originally by Little Richard this song was covered by several other artists including The Kinks before The Beatles released it in 1964. The lead track off the Long Tall Sally E.P. then eventually on the Past Masters compilation which gathers the various non-album tracks. In the United States it was released as the B-side to…
Yes, I know, it’s been a few weeks. Hopefully this will make up for that. I have quite a few pictures so let’s jump into it. Over the last couple of weeks we had (on separate nights) the Winter Concert for the school. One night Déla and August performed with their classes. Unfortunately August is…
Tevye is our sixth child. That’s a lot of parenting experience so far. Recently I purchased a rain cover for the stroller. Well, the replacement stroller. It was cheap enough and I figured I would be using it a lot this winter. The last time I was in this position of having to use the…
This morning while getting ready for school August (age 11) came up to me as said when he grows up he wants to be an extra in a Marvel movie. “Oh?” I said. I admired his realistic take on having a dream, but would have hoped for him to shoot for something a little bit grander. “Yeah!”…
We have been putting Tevye down in his crib at night. Usually between 8:30 and 9:00 at night he falls asleep after being fed and I try to put him in his crib – most of the time he settles in, sometimes he doesn’t and we have to start the whole process over. Usually he…
I have quite a bit this week, including a few videos, so let’s jump right into it. Here is Ciárán learning to dive during swim lessons last Friday: I love how there’s so much build-up then… Here is a sort of compilation of other stuff from the same swim lesson. First up is August and…
