Dear Xavier, I love you. I really do. But this is getting ridiculous. I sort of understand the issues about not wanting to go to sleep and getting out of bed, and you’re not the first kid to do that. You get out of bed, I put you back. We do this several times until…
Here are the kids eating breakfast yesterday morning: After breakfast my youngest son turned into The Shark Princess:
It’s been a couple of weeks, I know, but nothing much has happened. Life is normal, so much so that as soon as Spring Break ended and the kids went back to school I took 2 of them to the doctor’s office that morning. Nothing serious, but it’s just life. Here’s a silly picture of…
I went to the post office to send a package, and came away with a deeper appreciation for a children’s program.
Let me start out by apologizing in advance. This post is not only going to be one of my lesser efforts, it isn’t anything close to what I wanted for you on this momentous day. I’m sorry I couldn’t offer you better. Originally I had planned on flying out to Spokane to see you and take you…

My 2 year old loves to pretend he is a cat, and does a pretty good job. Every great once in a while he will be a frog or a dog. Yesterday, he was a frog. All the way home from dropping Ciárán off at preschool. It’s not a long way, but it takes FOREVER…
Last year was my first year participating in the Seattle Mariners Kids Club program.
