This past weekend was Winter Camp – the first time August did not go since he is now a Boy Scout. Well, I could have taken him if I had registered him as a Den Chief, but it was nice just having Ciáran and me there. Sadly the snow began to melt the week before…
Just a few pictures this week. Last week was Catholic Schools Week. Friday was “Purple & Gold Day” showing school spirit. Here are two of the best dressed from the day, August and the vice principal. And Xavier discovered another board game – LEGO Minotaurus (I wish LEGO did not discontinue their board game division)….
A heck of a week. It started with Catholic Schools Week which is essentially an “open house” for the school on Sunday. I had planned on getting pictures of all the kids in their various classrooms but an active Tevye prevented that. I was able to get one of them all together at the preschool….
Well, that was unexpected. Laura is pregnant again. Yes, this really was unexpected. More than a surprise, really. Something more akin to…. well, maybe not shock, but definitely close enough to it.

I know, I know…. It has been a few weeks, but not for want of things to post. I am going to start and end this post with two (short) videos. in between will be a big batch of pictures. Strap in. We’ll start off with our toddler in one of the favorite costumes, one…
I finally did it. The kids have their own mobile phone now. This was something coming for quite a while. There have been instances where one or the other would go one place or another and it would be nice to get a hold of them or they needed to get hold of us to…
Ciáran’s Cub Scout troop went on an outing a week ago to the Museum Of History And Industry, otherwise known as MOHAI. The museum has been a staple of Seattle for decades but I have never been. Not because of convenience, I just… never went. A couple of years ago it moved into a new…
