Shut up, I know this isn’t going up on a Friday. Life happens. Let’s start with a few of the last pictures I’m going to share from the Washington D.C. trip. Here is August at Monticello next to a stature of “Tommy Jeff” (as the kids were saying). At the University of Virginia they have…
This past week I was in Washington D.C. with August’s 8th grade class. It was extremely fun, wet, exhausting, and well worth it. It is not my intent to give a complete rundown of our itinerary and impressions of each location we visited. However, there are a few things I did want to highlight. Firstly, it…
The last couple of weeks have been busy, as you might expect a family with 7 kids would be. Xavier continues with his baseball season, birthday season is in full swing, and a lot more going on – much of which just doesn’t get documented. Let’s start with Grace who loves putting other people’s shoes…
Last Saturday was one of the busiest we have had in a while. August was at a robotics extravaganza, Xavier was at his baseball game and went to a birthday party, Déla served at a funeral and had a birthday party to attend, along with a couple of other items I know I am forgetting….
Just a couple of pictures this week. This have been crazy, and tomorrow (Saturday) promises to be even crazier – and yes, there will be pictures. In the mean time… Went to get Grace up from nap one day and found her like this. How could I not? Earlier this week I posted a couple…
Yesterday sucked. Oh sure, there were things that went well, like dinner, but overall there are two items that overshadowed the whole day. First, I got locked out of the house. It was the afternoon, Tevye and Grace were down for nap. I was working in the kitchen, cleaning things up, and I went to…
It’s been only one week. And I’m getting this posted on Friday!! Last week I mentioned how the kids were on spring break and we hit a couple of places, including the zoo, but I was going to have those pictures this week. Here they are, starting with Ciárán and Xavier chilling in the penguin…
I really had planned on not having such a break between the previous picture oriented post and this one, but as you know, life often gets in the way. As such I am posting this on a Saturday. Oops. Sorry, Sunday. I promised more pictures of Déla in her role as Minstrel in her school’s…
Disney/Marvel sent us a few things along with a copy of Thor: Ragnarok on Blu-ray with the idea that we would have some sort of “backyard contest of champions” or something similar, inspired by a major plot point in the movie. We did have some fun, but instead of a straight competition, we decided to…
This is what happens when you don’t take too long between these posts. I don’t have a lot to share. Well, in a way, I do. Thing is, it has been a big week for Déla. Here she is getting a first place trophy for her Slip Jig. Then, out of the blue, she was…
