There has been a lot of (virtual) ink spilled with reaction to the current President’s speech at the 2017 Boy Scout Jamboree. There are a few things I wanted to point out on this topic from my perspective as a current Cub Scout den leader and parent of three boys who are actively involved in…
I am sure the 12 regular readers of my blog have been wondering where I’ve been and why there hasn’t been any posts in over two weeks. There was a full week I was completely offline, which was nice, but that’s not even half of the story – especially considering the amount of time since this…
It has been a crazy couple of weeks since the last installment. So much going on I have barely had time to capture any of it. Let’s start with Tevye in the backyard plowing bubbles because… Spring! And here’s the same kid one morning refusing to get out of his pajamas (completely) and wanting to…
Strap in, this is going to be a big one. The first seven pictures should have been included with my previous installment. Or at the very least, a “part 2”. Here are Xavier and Tevye working on a robot. The annual Boy Scout Italian Dinner was a big success and both Ciaran and August helped…
I know it’s been over a month. I should write a post about the issues I have had with getting a new phone then attempting to connect it to my computer. But I won’t. Let’s catch up, shall we? Here is Tevye after finding some of the super hero dress up items. Well, somebody is eating…

Pack meetings have changed format a bit. They start out with a calmer activity to keep the kids from running around making it easier to start the meetings. I like it. One of the pack outings was to the Museum of History and Industry, which we went to last year, but this was Xavier’s first…
I know it’s been a few weeks. If you notice I haven’t had many updates lately. Hoping to get things turned around here. Let’s start off with a look back. When I arrived to pick the kids up from school a while ago they were all in an assembly, so I was going to snap…
This past weekend Xavier got to go on his first real Cub Scout outing – Halloween Day Camp. He and Ciárán were the only ones from their respective dens to go, but we did carpool with a couple of others from the pack. Ciárán posed in the archway of the camp entrance, Xavier decided he…
Maybe you don’t know, but we recently had another baby. Two months ago as a matter of fact. Naturally having a new baby in the house has caused a bit of an upheaval in our schedules, though thankfully not nearly as large as it could be. Our biggest challenge these days is not sleep. We…
