The kids don’t have school tomorrow, Friday, the day before Valentine’s Day. As such they will be doing their “celebration” this afternoon (though as this is getting posted it already happened). Everybody in his class, according to August, is creating a special box to hold their valentines in. Instead of simply having a plain bag…
Last night as we were in the middle of our evening routine getting ready for bed, my daughter Déla currently age 9, said “I don’t want to grow up. I like my childhood.” What more could you ask for?
I hate moving. Growing up mom and I moved every year or so. It wasn’t until I was in my 20s that I lived in the same place for any significant amount of time. When Laura and I moved with Kyle into our house 16 years ago I said I didn’t want to move again….
It’s been a couple of weeks, I know, but I haven’t taken that many pictures. We are all so busy, and then again, there’s nothing really to report. It’s all the hecticness of life with a gajillion kids. Earlier this month Ciaran had a Cub Scout meeting. There he worked on creating a scrapbook, one…

Now I’m sure whoever was in charge used some sort of automated search algorithm to match my name with a female’s. Unfortunately this was more along the lines of “Red Dwarf” in regards…
Remember a couple of weeks ago when I talked about how a shirt we ordered had not arrived in time for Christmas? Well, it finally arrived, but that’s not the end of it.
Tevye is 8 months old today. Four teeth, and of course solid food. Along with the solid food the bowel movements to match. I am getting tired of his naps getting interrupted by those bowel movements. Generally he is a happy baby and he sleeps (mostly). This has all been so helpful in maintaining some semblance of…
