Read MoreUsually, movie nights are something that I do with the kids without J. As I may have mentioned once before, even if she’s here, she usually doesn’t sit down and watch with us. Instead, she goes off and does her own thing. I’m not complaining about this, mind you, just letting you know the situation. The other […]
Read MoreFor some reason, perhaps because of Billy Blazes, the kids are fascinated by the idea of tornadoes. Unfortunately, they’re not quite able to say the word “tornado.” Instead, they say “tomato.” The other day they were playing outside, pouring water down the slide. Apparently, there was hot lava gushing down the slide, and they were […]

Read MoreLast Sunday started out as pretty much the perfect day for us. After church, we hit a local park for a couple of hours. Then we met Nana and Grampa at a restaurant for a leisurely lunch. By the time we got home, we were all ready for naps. All of us except C, of […]
Read MoreThis past weekend, the kids went to a birthday party with J. When they returned, they had huge inflatable swords. The things were about four feet long – taller than either of the kids. We inflated them, of course, and had ourselves a battle. I was a Giant with a shield (pillow) and a rather scary […]

For example, have you ever heard of the song “Frere Jacques”? Well, this is what I found C singing the other day: Where is Jacques?Where is Jacques?Door Ham Blue,Door Ham […]
