So, my youngest son is a crier. Have I ever told you that? When he is unhappy he lets us know by wailing. Monday was one of those days when he cried about everything. He asked for a drink and no matter what I offered him he cried. When asked for something to eat, no [...]

Just about an hour ago, I walked into the living room, saw my daughter sitting on the couch watching Noggin and I thought, “oh my gosh, she’s got to get to bed.” Then I looked at the clock on the stove. It was 7:39pm.  It wasn’t even 8:00pm but to me it felt like 10pm.

The only problem with having a Great Dane for a pet is that when she wants to be petted, she’ll be petted. For example, while I was sitting here at my desk writing, she came up and put her face in my face. As try as I might, I could not get her move. I [...]

We’re up north this weekend. It’s one of our few remaining weekends of our canoe season and we’re enjoying every moment.

Next stop was YouTube where I found this video that boasted it had the goods on how to fold “The BEST Paper Airplane In The WORLD.”  After [...]

We’re slowly settling in our new house.  Since we didn’t get our Invisible Fence installed until this past Tuesday, I wasn’t able to introduce Sarah to the house until today. She’s adjusting well, thankfully. She is still learning where the fence border is, so I am not yet ready to let her off of her [...]
