A Drive Home Solving Personal Identity Problems

By Kevin | Published November 29, 2011

Sunday night we drove home around the kid’s bedtime. The early winter evening shone dark and the air was crisp. Our Oldsmobile Silhouette quietly carried along a gaggle of worn-out children. Erin and I were enjoying a rare moment of peace when out of the silence a small whisper broke through. “Daddy, daddy….” Alayna (our [...]

Texas, Grandparents, and Hallucinations

By Kevin | Published November 9, 2011

Erin and I traveled to Texas last week. Without kids. For nearly five days. It was the longest time we have been away from our kids… ever. It wasn’t exactly a vacation though, I had to travel for business. But, it did afford us some time away from the craziness that is our life. So [...]

Family Pictures – Otherwise Known As Chaos

By Kevin | Published October 28, 2011

Family photos are, how shall I put this… interesting? I like the pictures, but the process… not so much. Maybe it’s just me. Or maybe it’s just my kids. (I’m going to go with the latter on this one.) The Facts of Life When having a family picture taken, it’s inevitable that as one child [...]

Here’s a trailer to the movie that is our life which should have been made starting in the summer of 2009. For those of you keeping track, yes, that was the year Alayna was born.

It’s Never Enough or There is Only One Maumee River

By Kevin | Published October 7, 2011

People never want the good times to end. That’s pretty typical, right? I mean nobody likes when the fun is over; we prefer the fun be happening. But when it ends (and all good things must come to an end), most people take it in stride. However, there are some for whom the end of [...]

- Samuel has a new room!! Well, it’s a shared room, but at least he has a corner now!

- I’m not sure our youngest, Samuel, is going to make it to his first birthday. I think our daughter is trying to get rid of him. I think she loves him, she talks to him and about him often. But she has also done things to make us think otherwise. When he is in his swing she likes to push it beyond what it was meant to go. She likes to poke his eyes. She threw his favorite pacifier into the garbage disposal (unknown to Erin until she ran it). She has picked him up and dropped him repeatedly (and tried to pick him up many other times). She has taken his blanket, covered his face with it and laid on him. She has put a marble, a pretzel, a piece of pizza, and other things into his mouth. I’m just not sure if Samuel is going to make it because his older sister is out to get him.

- This is Ethan’s way of saying this room is off limits for Alayna. Now every door in our house, even Alayna’s own room, has this sign. Even the outside doors. It’s Alayna’s catch 22 - can’t go in, can’t go out.

- We went to the Midwest Homeschool Convention in Cincinnati a couple weeks ago. It was crowded!! Besides the fact that they scheduled the conference to begin at the exact same time as opening day for the Cincinnati Reds (~10,000 convention goers + ~40,000 baseball fans = no available parking + lots of frustration!) it was a nice trip. Samuel enjoyed the big bed, Erin and I took the floor. ;)
