Does anybody even read blog posts on Sundays? If so, do people go back and read some of the posts from earlier in the week? Is it worth it to create a new post on Sunday or just set up a signpost to the one blog entry from the week you most like? Should Facebook and…
Remember last week when I said I would have another post for the Halloween pictures? I said “probably tomorrow” but other things got in the way. This was a bit of an odd Halloween for us. It was the first time any of the kids went trick-or-treating with others, this meant there would be not…
Tevye, you turn 6 months old today. Where did the time go? Well, I sort of know where it went. It’s been a crazy busy six months. First the packing up and moving because of the remodel in our house, then the end of the school year, then vacation to Massachusetts, then the beginning of…
This morning we woke to find our stroller stolen. Well, “woke to find” isn’t exactly true, it took a while to figure out it was missing this morning, but it was gone. I was getting things ready to take the kids to school when I noticed the stroller was not where it should be. What…
I hate “girls” movies. Why? Because they are usually condescending towards the gender, with emphasis on fashion or boys or whatever.

Yes, it is Halloween, and no, I don’t have any pictures of kids in costumes. Yet. That will be another post, probably tomorrow.

A packed week full of… well, let’s jump into it. Tevye is starting to sit up on his own now. He’s five and a half months old, has two teeth and smiles a heck of a lot. Saturday saw another gymnastic competition for Déla. This time I got some video. Here’s her vault routine which…
I am in the shower when there’s a knock on the door. Laura has already gone to work and with time before the kids have to get to school I had a few minutes and was trying to put it to good use. Déla said something about Ciárán and while I didn’t catch everything she…
Yesterday I had an appointment with a gastroenterologist as a follow-up appointment to my hospital visit. This was at the main building on Capitol Hill, which if you’re not familiar with Seattle is close enough to downtown to be a pain in the ass, especially with parking, considering I’m coming from 7 miles north. Sure,…
