Perhaps it is too soon to start crying about Elliott going off to school everyday, like Abigail is, but perhaps once that time comes (next fall) I’ll be over it and smiling brightly as my little boy proudly tosses his backpack over his shoulders and joins his sister for the ride to school and the…

So what can I do?
What can I do when gas prices go to $4? I don’t think I’ll stop driving (although working at home helps tremendously). I can’t go and buy a hybrid car (as much as I might like to). I can’t walk or ride a bike to places (not in a city). I guess one thing that…
Read MoreIt Can’t Get Much Better Than This
It\’s been a summer full of changes and I have been blessed beyond belief. It is funny how I am surprised by God\’s goodness; why am I surprised?! I believe God is good, right? Well, I guess I’m surprised by the way He shows His goodness to us in ways we could have never planned…
Read MoreOff to New York
Sonya and I are finally getting away for a few days, without the kids, to NYC for our 10 year anniversary. I’m slightly nervous — as its been years since I’ve been to NYC, or any large city for that matter (excited nervous). So why NYC? It’s the place that Sonya and I met and…
Read MoreDear Adelphia Cable Guy
I hate your face. I have been using high speed internet (at home) for over 5 years. I’ve used Time Warner, Zoomtown, Current and now your lovely services (this is sarcasm, just in case you were unsure). In the 2 weeks of using your (lack of) service, I have not had a full day where…
Read MoreWhen will the owners come back?
I’m not sure how long this feeling of “this can’t really be our house” will last, but for now I have to get used to waking up somewhat confused. We can park our cars in the garage (after a marathon of coming in and out, up and down exactly 138 times with boxes and boxes)….
Read MoreOut with the old …
After some 2000 miles of travel between Maineville and Oakley, 100s of boxes scattered in all the wrong places, dust and trash, cat vomit, cat poop and piss, kids freaking out about not seeing mommy and daddy, $1000s spent on furniture, multiple installation, water-system relocation, internet and phone hook-up, clothes dryer cord replacement surgery, a…
Read MoreNow kids, Daddy only drank so the Statue of Liberty would take her clothes off
Conversations overheard at the Cracker Barrel, somewhere in South Carolina: “Daddy, don’t zip my penis in my pants. That’ll hurt. I’ll cry a lot. Like this – AAAHHHHH! Loud” “Yes, I would too. Don’t worry, I’ll be sure to not zip it” “Yeah Daddy, that would hurt lots”
Read MoreDear stupid dog, I’ve gone to live with the children on jolly farm.
A frog was in our bath tub last night. Cute little guy. Bright green and very small, perched on the edge of the drain. I went to take a picture and he disappeared. Today is nearly done then we pack up and leave for home in the morn. Not sure what to feel — sadness,…
Read MoreCraig Hoffman said that? Well, he’s a sharp kid. You might be ugly.
I was up at 6am this morning for no reason. It’s quiet. I watched the ocean. Santa was on the beach yesterday, sweating under an umbrella (and I have the pictures to prove it). The kids didn’t care; 1) either because warm sun, sandy beaches and the ocean don’t conjure up any Christmas Spirit, 2)…
