Puberty can be a difficult subject to discuss. It is such a wide-ranging and encompassing change that just one conversation won’t cover it. Add to that the awkwardness of sitting down and actually having the discussion. Yeah, many of us parents sort of blunder through it. Along comes an outside agency and puts everybody on…
Yes, I’m still behind and I’m going to pack in as much as I can here and try to finally get caught up. I do have to admit this is a better position to be in than having nothing to post. First off you may remember a few weeks ago August got first place within…
If you’ve been paying attention to this blog at all the last few weeks you would know Fiddler On The Roof has had a major pressence in our lives. First we had the latest addition to our family, Tevye, then a few days later our oldest cat Chava died. A great “Sunrise, Sunset” example. I…
Still playing “catch-up” with photos. Next week will also be another one of these types of affairs. At least this one includes sharp objects being flung. Seriously.

I know it’s actually Sunday as I post this. Shut up. May has been an absolutely crazy month. As I have mentioned before we have moved out of our hose for the remodel. With a new baby our unpacking and settling in has been quite a bit slower than we would have liked. On top…
August turned 11 last week. Our life has been so busy and hectic I haven’t had time to have a post up in time. Here it is, a week late. Sorry. It’s been a heck of a year. Finishing up 3rd grade and leading into 4th grade the academics really ramped up but you were…
Ranking right up there with “All Time Stupid Decisions” is the one to have our house remodeled to the point where we have to move out of it for 8-10 months immediately after having a baby. Pretty much the whole house had to be packed up and moved. It started a few years ago as…
Here he is – Tevye Stephen MacKay Pelfrey Born May 6 at 3:47 in the afternoon. Everybody is doing fine, which is the most important thing. The older kids are excited to have a new addition to the family. Saturday there seemed to be an hour and a half where “things were going to happen”…
