I had a movie night with the kids the other night. Movie nights involve the kids and I sitting on the floor (or sometimes the couch) and eating dinner while watching a movie.

Read MoreThe other day at dinner, N (our three year old) was refusing to eat his dinner again. This time, thank goodness, his momma was dealing with it.

Read MoreThe boys attend Sunday school during church each week. For the most part, Sunday school at their age is just doing crafts and listening to stories. They much prefer it to sitting in church. When I picked up N (our three year old) from Sunday School yesterday, he was carrying a puppet made out of […]
Read MoreAs I was leaving breakfast for work the other day, my five year old stopped me: “Daddy? Daddy! DADDY!” I stopped and turned around. “Yes?” He gave me two thumbs up. “You got a lot of Hoo, dude. A lot of hoo.” I smiled and gave him my best Fonzie thumb. “Thanks, Dude. Thanks.” He […]
