Well with Nemo arriving it was a good day for doing things inside. What can be more fun than bubbles in the basement? And thus it begins with Daddy doing things that simply aren’t practical on a daily basis. Once again though, the boys were great, earning a movie night while winter storm Nemo got cranking outside. We ended the...

While Mommy was enjoying an early birthday celebration here... The boys and Daddy were here... I think Mommy wins!!  Stay tuned for Daddy's updates of the fun boys weekend with Nemo!

With Mommy off for some well deserved vacation time in Florida, Daddy gets to have five days flying solo. When getting the boys up early to take Mommy to the airport Logan’s left eye was looking a little goopy and red. After getting back home it still didn’t look good so we made him an appointment to see the doctor...

Today we went to PlayTown Express.  We were supposed to meet the Wheeler’s there but unfortunately Dylan was sick.  We decided to check it out on our own anyway and boy am I glad we did.  Evan loved it!  This is probably the first time that we have been to a place like this where he actually played on the...

This playing stuff... ...Is hard work!

We weren’t really interested in the outcome of the game this year but Super Bowl is always a good excuse to get together with friends and have a party.  I couldn’t tell you much about the game, other than the power outage, or the commercials, other than the Go Daddy kiss, or what the final score was but I do...

Today we celebrated Annalia’s second birthday!  It was a fun party for a sweet girl and it was great to have a mini-reunion with some girls from high school.  Happy birthday, Annalia!

Today while I was upstairs getting Logan changed and dressed, I knew Evan was being a little too quiet.  I thought maybe he was playing hide-and-seek and didn’t even hear him go downstairs.  When I began searching for him and calling for him, I couldn’t find him and he didn’t answer…a sure sign of mischief!  When I did find him,...
