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…
I have been really inconsistent in regards to getting these unboxing posts… posted. Life. Here we go with the March 2017 edition, which August really liked. And for a closer look at the items: The poster This is one of the better shirts he has gotten in the nearly two years of his subscription. This month’s…
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…

I replied, “Yeah, I’m fortunate because I’m making stew tonight and really needed them.” “I’m vegetarian, so I really like these. Are you a vegetarian as well?”…
Hey look, it’s almost a regularly scheduled update. Here we are a week or so ago in front of Fred Meyer when the weather was nice. Walking to school one day I saw this ahead of me. Tevye disappeared one morning. I finally found him in his room dressing himself. And both of his legs…
Oh man, this was a fun weekend. Cub Scout Winter Camp is certainly a highlight of the Scouting calendar, and this year did not disappoint. Actually, it was the best outing in years. How much fun was it this time? I will let Ciaran answer that in this video. Did you see that? No, I’m…
Yes, this is Monday. I know this is late. This post was actually ready to go up on Friday, but I was busy getting ready to go to Cub Scout Winter Camp. And that will be a separate post. Here are a few pictures of the kids and what they have been up to recently….
