I have a few posts from different events over the summer to post up, but here are some pictures from throughout the whole summer that do not match up into one of those. Let’s start off with Xavier in a tree. How about a picture of Grace? Xavier was taking a soccer camp being held…
Here are some pictures from the rest of May closing out the month. During the spring concert Xavier and a couple of his classmates performed Irish dance. Here’s Tevye enjoying the whole show. While I was in D.C. Laura decided it would be a good idea to have Grace out of the stroller, so now…
Here are the rest of the pictures I’m going to be posting from last month. I have already covered St. Patrick’s Day fairly well, so none of those pictures will be here. A while ago I posted a couple of pictures from Déla’s turn as the title character in Peter Pan. Uncle Bill and Aunt…
This session of this series is going to focus solely on Cub Scout Winter Camp, which Xavier and I attended last weekend. Unfortunately there was no snow, but, at least it was dry. There have been years when we have gone and it has been pouring rain the whole weekend. Sure, we were disappointed,but ultimately…
It’s been a while and in a way I’m still playing “catch-up” with some of these, alright, many of these, but this is it. There are even pictures from this week included! Let’s start off with a bit of a continuation of Halloween. Where the kids do swim lessons annually toss in some pumpkins, usually the weekend before…
Our council hosts Cub Day At Camp a couple of weekends in the fall, with the weekend before Halloween having a theme. Can you guess what it is? After our rounds of BB guns we headed to the archery range. Archery is perhaps Xavier’s favorite Cub Scout activity. On the way there were leaves on…
While I posted the first day of school pictures, I have been lax with pretty much everything since, including both cross country and soccer seasons. I have a couple of posts to get an overview of how things have been going. Here is Grace having a snack in the middle of the kitchen. Note the…
I am just going to post a few pictures from this summer’s trip to Boy Scout Camp. Part of the reason has to do with the fact I was acting Scoutmaster, busy keeping track of everybody (for the most part, there were many times I didn’t know where my two boys were). The other reason…
Today is stressful. Déla and I leave town tonight, headed to Portland. This means she will be missing a day of school tomorrow, but the reason is she participating in the Western U.S. Region Oireachtas, an annual dance competition that is a bit of a big deal. She is participating in two team dances and…
Yesterday was Veteran’s Day. I should have posted something then about sacrifice and serving your country. I held off posting about Veteran’s Day until today though because today is when we did something to commemorate and honor those who served and serve. First, though, I have to declare my unease with categorizing myself as a…
