We made it through our big family vacation this year. I figured I’d try to write out a bit of an overview of what we did. There was so much packed into a short time that it could be easy to forget if I don’t get it down somewhere. Day 1 – Traveling Day IContinue reading “2014 Family Vacation”

I Know What You’re Talking About
One of our visits to the local zoo my sister noticed the turtles were getting fairly, ummm, friendly with each other. Trying to be subtle about it she comes up to me and says, “Look the turtles are playing leap frog with each other”. My nine year old daughter comes up to me a coupleContinue reading “I Know What You’re Talking About”
Going with the flow
Some of our vacation hasn’t gone exactly as planned, but that doesn’t mean it hasn’t been great so far.

She then proceeds to do something very similar with her left leg but moving it in a different fashion,Continue reading “It’s Rough Getting Old”

With four kids we usually keep pretty busy but it’s usually doing something fun with the family which is always nice, but weekends are also the time to get nagging choresContinue reading “Rabbit Stew Anyone?”
New Pajamas
My youngest, and only boy, was quickly growing out of all his cool pajamas that are good for hot summer nights. So my wife picked him up some boxer type shorts and tank top style undershirts to use. He was thrilled. The first night after he got ready for bed, we came back downstairs onContinue reading “New Pajamas”
