I’ve had a number of people inquire as to where the funny family posts went. Well, they have been queuing up in my head and in a to-do list as I have not been wanting to write them anymore in this blog. Why not? Well, I’ve been struggling with separation anxiety. No, I don’t miss [...]

Sleep… need sleep. I was up all night working on a video presentation, so I’m really tired. I couldn’t sleep in either because we had to go to church and the kids were exited to give daddy cards and a present. Things have calmed down now so I just thought I’d shout out to all [...]

So, what did you do for Easter? My ten month old daughter and I eased on back on my mother’s sofa for a nice afternoon nap. Of course my wife could not pass up the opportunity to capture the moment, which also coincidentally provides proof of my snoring, on video. Here for your viewing pleasure [...]

Monday night my oldest daughter, Ragan had a soccer game. Now usually this would be a family affair, unless of course I was at home in bed with a migraine. Then my wife would faithfully haul all three kids out to the park for the event herself. Well she had some prior engagements so the [...]
