Another active week, but the coming weekend will prove to be even more so. St. Patrick’s Day brings plenty of opportunities for my daughter to perform. And I just found out my dad is coming over from Ireland for a couple of weeks. The weather has been really nice lately. A little unseasonably so. I’m…
This is how an entry on a website for baby dating might look: My name is Tevye. I am 10 months old. My favorite activities include chewing on things (especially my daddy’s shoulder), crawling around, grabbing kitty cats by the ear and pooping myself awake 30 minutes after being put down for nap. I…
There’s a lot to recap in pictures this week. Let’s jump right in. Last Friday Kyle came over for a little while in the afternoon. We were all happy to see him, and seems to be doing well. Later that day Ciaran’s Cub Scout den visited the local fire station. I should have that post…

I took Tevye to the doctor this morning. It was his 9 month check up. Past due, I know, but our schedule has been crazy what with all the kids we have as well as moving back into our house. Fortunately I was able to schedule the appointment for early in the morning. normally we…
What does Ash Wednesday mean to me? At times I have a definite idea, so crystal clear, so obvious, it feels like it burns my brain. Other times I have no idea. And so I ponder. Maybe that’s the point. Lent, which began today, is a time of penance as well as reflection. Think of…
This past weekend I took August and Ciaran to Cub Scout Winter Camp. It would be August’s last time and Ciaran’s first. The first year we went there was lots of snow. The second year there was lots of rain. This year it started out raining but cleared up nicely. As is tradition now, we…
It has been a couple of weeks. We have been busy with moving back into our own house. The remodel is done to the point where we can move back in, and that has taken up so much time I haven’t really blogged much, let alone take pictures. Here is a selection of those I…
