Be Thankful For Good Health

Normally by the middle of September we are settled into our fall schedules.  School, homework and all the extracurricular activities such as soccer and football games are on auto-pilot as we go from one activity to another.   Our normal schedule got a jolt a few weeks ago from some health issues.  First my son Marcus [...]

Football Season

The start of the school year is a little disappointing because it signals the end of summer. Soon it will be winter with colder days and rain. The fun and warm memories of the summer will soon fade into dark dreary mornings. Offsetting the disappointment of school starting is the excitement of [...]

First Day Of School

The start of school is a sign that summer is over. No more vacations and leisurely days at the pool. Last week I took my son to school as he started first grade. First grade is not as significant an event as the start of Kindergarten but it is still a change. [...]

Field Trip To The Fire Station

Sometimes I have to be called into “Mom” duties. Probably more so than most Dads since I am always around. This week I had to step in as my wife and daughter were on a girls trip to Disneyland. So I had to chaperone my son’s kindergarten class on a field [...]

Last of The Mohicans

While cutting Marcus’ hair this week we decided to experiment with a new style.  So we tried the mohawk or rather a “faux-hawk”.  Its not quite a full mohawk.

Marcus really liked it so we let him keep it for a day which turned into 2 days because we got too busy to cut the rest [...]

Just Another Friday

On a recent Friday afternoon I had 8 kids all under the age of 5 in my house.  Only 2 belonged to me.  Add in 4 Moms and myself and it was a hectic play date/lunch.  It is as chaotic as it sounds.  A lot of running, screaming, knocking things over, and some crying.  A [...]
