This past weekend Xavier got to go on his first real Cub Scout outing – Halloween Day Camp. He and Ciárán were the only ones from their respective dens to go, but we did carpool with a couple of others from the pack. Ciárán posed in the archway of the camp entrance, Xavier decided he…
It’s been a busy couple of weeks. I’m not going to post pictures from Halloween or some of the other events that I posted since the last one. Tevye has discovered the joys of playing in a laundry basket. Xavier and Grace enjoying a quiet moment after dinner. The cross country championships finally happened and…
October’s Geek Fuel was a little bit of a mixed bag. It isn’t because of the quality of the contents, but more to do with the age and interests of the person receiving the subscription. Perhaps the best was the Firefly themed shirt. The brain-shaped gummy candies were a hit. I think this was a Game…
Last night was Halloween and our plans had to change because not everybody was feeling well. Nothing serious, but Grace was rather fussy. We had planned on putting her in her Seahawks onsie and having her be Russel Wilson’s love child as her costume but she just didn’t make it. The other kids did, however,…
October has been…. busy. Difficult. A blur. Something. Grace is 2 months old. She is sleeping. This, more than anything, is what keeps everything from falling apart. No, she’s not sleeping all the way through the night, but but close enough to it for us to get hours of consecutive sleep each night. – –…
It has been two weeks, I know, but things have been pretty crazy around the house. Xavier has been home almost all of this week sick (today he is finally feeling better and his temp dropped below 100) so it’s not like we haven’t been around, it’s just… been busy parenting instead of documenting. But…
Maybe you don’t know, but we recently had another baby. Two months ago as a matter of fact. Naturally having a new baby in the house has caused a bit of an upheaval in our schedules, though thankfully not nearly as large as it could be. Our biggest challenge these days is not sleep. We…
This was a big week for us. It started off with Grace getting baptized. Marianne made it out for the baptism to act as godmother. The next morning there was a lot of comic reading during breakfast. The last full cross country meet was this past Sunday. Here’s Xavier coming to the finish line. And…
Yes, it has been two weeks. You try doing regular updates with a toddler and a month old. By the way, here is the toddler acting and dressing as fabulous as he is. We made it to one more Mariners game this year. Cotton candy was had, with Ciaran none too happy I was taking…
For those unfamiliar Cub Scouts is organized by grade. Tiger Cubs is the program for 1st graders, Wolf for 2nd, Bear for 3rd with 4th and 5th graders being WEBELO Scouts. You have all school year to work on projects, do activities and earn the rank specific to your grade, though it is not required…
