Here is the one picture I have for this week. It’s Ciárán and Xavier at the zoo this morning. I have a bit of stuff to say, but for the uninterested, here’s the picture. Ugh! Alright, so for Mother’s Day Laura bought a new digital camera. This was a purchase we had been mulling over…
This morning we went to the orthodontist. Again. Last week August had an issue with his braces where the piece that held the rubber band that holds his headpiece in place broke. So we had to go to the orthodontist and have that replaced. It wasn’t the quick fix everybody expected. They had to take…
My Crock Pot died. Again. And yes, I capitalized the name, because it’s a proper name, I not only have a “slow cooker” but it’s the brand I use. My previous one died a few months ago after being in use for several years. And I used the heck out of it,…
After returning from the store Dela (age 7) asks “What’s Borax?” August (age 10) without missing a beat chimes in “It’s like the Lorax, but for Laundry.” “What” “I am the Borax and I speak for the clothes.”
I have six pictures and two birthdays to share this week. Tuesday was August’s actual 10th birthday. I previously posted about his party last Friday. Here he is blowing out the candles on his cake.

Ciaran (5) and Xavier (3) are playing in the front room. They start getting into something they shouldn’t. What that is isn’t important. I raise my voice and say “Get out of there!” They immediately run and sit together in the big red chair. I put whatever it was back. As I walk out of…
Last year I started making specific posts for each kid as they celebrated their annual milestone. It started with August as turned 9, followed almost immediately by Xavier as he turned 2. Ciaran was central in a post in July, then Dela in August, and finally Kyle as he turned 21 last month. Then I…
Hey there. You like “Doctor Who” don’t you? Of course you do. If you don’t, then stop reading. This isn’t for you. The current season of “Doctor Who” is about to end, but it doesn’t have to. Shout Factory accidentally sent me two copies of K-9: The Complete Series on DVD. I don’t need two…
Friday we had my son Augut’s 10th birthday party. He wanted to do the same thing as last year – the video game truck. I went through my archives and couldn’t find the post I had about the event, which is bothersome. I did find a twitter post though. So essentially, you spend a couple…
Look, I know it’s not Friday. Or Phriday. Yesterday I got rather distracted by a number of events culminating in August’s birthday party. There will be a blog post about that next week. This post is all about my daughter. Last Saturday Déla had her First Communion. Here she is in her dress. And here…
