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…
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…
It has been a busy time over the last couple of weeks since posting one of these. Let’s take a look at what has been going on. I went to the annual 2016 Penny Arcade Expo and was able to take the kids. I showed you a picture of Xavier last time, so here are…
School is back in session which means the routine is back and it is easier for me to keep with a weekly posting schedule for these things. Starting with the first day of school, here is Tevye who wanted his picture taken, but he wasn’t included in the previous post because he isn’t going to…
Last week Xavier was able to take his school supplies into his classroom and check it out. Monday, the day before the first day of school, the other grades were allowed to bring in their supplies. The first stop was Ciaran’s 3rd grade classroom. Yes, each kid had their own box. With four different supply lists…
Today was the kids’ first day of school. Kindergarten, 3rd, 6th and 7th grades. This meant Xavier was getting into a uniform. And since I was taking a picture of Xavier, Dela wanted in on the action. Looking around for the other two school children I found them in the halllway. Ciaran began to scoot…
It’s been a month? Jeez, for what is supposed to be a weekly posting I sure have been lax. Having a new baby is no excuse… Let’s get to it. There was another dance competition this summer. This was across Lake Washington in Bellevue and would be Dela’s first feis (pronounced “fesh”) outside of the…
The summer of scouting continues – first there was Cub Scout Day Camp then Cub Scout Resident Camp. I mentioned I had to leave early because I would be transporting the Boy Scouts up to their resident camp. Leaving with a van full of teen boys int he van I was thankful the camp was…
