I will admit to Independence Day being among my least favorite of the official holidays. No, I’m not some un-American weirdo, and I do enjoy fireworks. It is the hassle and danger the day brings that always leaves a sour taste in my mouth. I detest going out at night on July 4 because of the drunk…
The past Saturday was the annual Greenwood Auto Show. It’s a mile of classic cars and more – and it’s not something I don’t go every year, various circumstances prevent that from happening, and usually I don’t get to go the whole length of the event. This year, however, we did. Mostly.
Yowza – it’s been a while. Not only have I missed a few Phamily Foto Phridays but I’ve somehow not gotten a new post up in 2 weeks. There’s been so much to write about, from dad’s 2 week visit from Ireland, the end of the school year, plans for summer, a trip to the…

Wow. It seems like just yesterday you were born. Of all the kids, you have the most amazing birth story, one that simply can’t be topped, and your life so far has equaled it.
You are our miracle child. We thought we had lost you before you were born, yet here you are, 9 years later.
What a day we had. Saturday I took three of the kids to the Mariners game, and it was highly enjoyable (not just because they snapped a 7 game losing streaking). Sure, winning a game 7-0 is fun, watching Felix Hernandez pitch is fun, but those things wound up being icing on the proverbial cake….
