If you’ve been reading this blog for a while, and chances are you haven’t, you will have noticed a drop in the frequency of direct parenting related posts. It isn’t for a lack of content. Just this morning Tevye took off his pajamas and underwear to dance – because last summer watching the gymnastics he…
So we find Tevye’s container of snack, some yogurt covered pretzels, and they are partially eaten. Not even half-eaten, but instead much of the yogurt covering has been nibbled off. These were not the only ones. A few others were to be found the next morning. Seriously. He nibbled the yogurt covering off of the…
Here is the last of my catch-up series for pictures. Hopefully I’ll be back to the normal (mostly) weekly posting schedule for these. So I turned around and these two clowns were like this. Tevye just thought it was the funniest thing ever. Ciaran made himself a triple-decker peanut butter sandwich. That’s three layers of…
It’s been over a month and I have a lot to post so I’m breaking this up into a few chunks, starting with this one. I don’t remember why but I had to go to the school for some reason and ran into Xavier. We decorated our Christmas tree We waited until after Tevye was…

August has been to a couple of dances at other schools, and this past Friday evening it was his school’s turn to host. Of…
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…
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,…
