A couple of great events happened over the last week, so let’s jump into it. First off, no, the baby hasn’t arrived, but here’s Laura at 9+ months, ready for the baby to arrive. Any time now. Last Saturday August had his Cub Scout pack’s pinewood derby. He came in 1st place for his den….
Remember a few weeks ago when August went on a hike with his friend? The following weekend his troop went on a hike – and his friend came along as well. Instead of snow there was rain. And plenty of it. We were ready for it. At the halfway mark (which…
August went on a hike with his friend Johnny’s scout troop on Saturday. We had planned on some rain but certainly not snow. We were ill-prepared. Whoops. Here’s August at the top of the 1.9 mile as well as August and Johnny. And of course it was 1.9 miles down. And…
I want to thank the people who helped me write this with grammar edits, suggestions on where to flesh this out, etc. This is the post I have been actively trying not to write for a long time. I don’t want to be the spokesperson for this side of the issue, but nobody else has…
Earlier this week the kids were all ready for school a little early. What was there to do but have a puppet show? Well, it was more of a play with a bunch of toy cars. Yesterday I wrote up a bit about Cub Scout Winter Camp and what we did there. Wednesday was the…

Wow, where did last week go? I had a couple of posts planned on top of my (supposedly) usual Phamily Foto Phriday. Then Xavier got sick (and I mean *SICK*). Tuesday was a bit of a washout for me. The posts I was working on didn’t “click” into completion as I had hoped. Fine, I…
Not too much happening lately. We’re getting back into the routine of school now that Christmas vacation is over. Earlier this week August had his Cub Scout meeting. One of the activities was virtual wakeboarding. Here he is pulling one of his friends, and here he is being pulled, and ultimately wiping out. Later in…
It’s been a couple of weeks, I know, but nothing much has happened. Life is normal, so much so that as soon as Spring Break ended and the kids went back to school I took 2 of them to the doctor’s office that morning. Nothing serious, but it’s just life. Here’s a silly picture of…
This year, despite several scheduling conflicts, August was able to participate in Cub Scouts much more than last year. I was even able to take him to an overnight camp back in January. Of course there was still a bit of a mad dash to get his car ready for the annual Pine Wood…
