Camporee 2017

Yes, this is well after the fact, I know, but I still want to post about this, brief though it may be. This year was Ciaran’s first year attending the event, and we took the opportunity to check off a few requirements, such as sleeping in a tent the Cub Scout helped set up, cook…

Northwest Trek

Yes, this post is coming months after the fact, but I still want to get it posted, so here it is. Back in May the Cub Scouts took a trip to Northwest Trek. A couple of requirements for different levels of Cub Scouts involve observing animals and hiking. This outing took care of these, at…

Phamily Foto Phriday 8-25-17 (The End Of A Busy Summer – or – Why No Updates?)

The “best laid plans” and all that. This summer has been so ridiculously busy, and you can tell partly because I haven’t updated much. If you follow me on Facebook you have *some* idea of what has been going on, but let’s head back a few months to when school got out. Yes, it’s been…

Alright, so it’s been three months and I’m finally getting the second part of this posted. It’s been a busy summer.   Back in May Ciaran’s Cub Scout den held a type of carnival for the rest of the pack. Here is Ciaran heading up the competitive bean bag tick-tack-toe. Then there was the trip…

Phamily Foto Phriday 5-26-17 (Catching Up Edition Part 1)

I mentioned there haven’t been any posts because I’ve been busy, right? Let’s take a look at what has been going on. We start off with a couple shots of what my day typically consist of – such as Tevye doing some “work” in the mornings. Later he takes an order of what people want for…

I’ve Been Where?

I am sure the 12 regular readers of my blog have been wondering where I’ve been and why there hasn’t been any posts in over two weeks. There was a full week I was completely offline, which was nice, but that’s not even half of the story – especially considering the amount of time since this…

Spring Broken

I know it’s been a while since I posted an original post. Spring Break has not been kind to me. I should note I have two “vacation” weeks to endure where most people only have one. How did I get so lucky? The week before Easter is Spring Break for Seattle Public Schools, which is…

It has been a crazy couple of weeks since the last installment. So much going on I have barely had time to capture any of it. Let’s start with Tevye in the backyard plowing bubbles because… Spring! And here’s the same kid one morning refusing to get out of his pajamas (completely) and wanting to…

Strap in, this is going to be a big one. The first seven pictures should have been included with my previous installment. Or at the very least, a “part 2”. Here are Xavier and Tevye working on a robot. The annual Boy Scout Italian Dinner was a big success and both Ciaran and August helped…

Braids

Last night Déla asked during dinner if one of us (myself or Laura) would be able to help get her hair into a braid in the morning. She was pretty earnest in her query, and Laura asked her why she wanted her hair in a braid. The next morning (today) might be difficult but we…
