On an Ocean’s Shore

By Kevin | Published January 18, 2012

Life with four young children is like standing on the ocean’s shore. No, I’m not having a moment of insanity, I’m being serious. However, it’s not like you might imagine. A Pretty Picture Image Credit You could imagine yourself standing along the ocean’s edge, soaking in the brilliant rays of sunshine, enjoying the soft sounds [...]

Another One Coming…

By Kevin | Published December 30, 2011

A year that is… I recently got used to typing 2011 instead of 2010. Now my keyboard muscle memory will need to change to 2012 instead of 2011, which for me, without a side keypad, means changing from left ring finger, right ring finger, left pinky finger double bump to left ring finger, right ring [...]

Just One Thing or Why Parents Are Slow

By Kevin | Published December 15, 2011

When I was young, I always wondered why my parents were slow. It seemed like it always took forever for them to do anything. I have now discovered why this phenomenon exists: a parent can never do just one thing. Let me explain. Let’s say that you want to get your coat on to go [...]

Let it SNOW!

By Erin | Published February 8, 2011

I guess pretty much the whole country got snow last week… we were no different. Schools were cancelled, roads were shut down, everything came to a halt (well except for in our house). Not much changed around here. Kevin still went to work in the back room, it was easy for him to get there. [...]

Who’s that Baby…

By Erin | Published January 28, 2011

With every baby we have, we get the famous question… “so who do you think he/she looks like?” And we always answer “I don’t know… our baby.” Or people always say “Yup, he/she looks like a Vile”. So I decided to go back and check out all our babies newborn pics to see who looks [...]

      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. ;)

      When your Daring Child is also your Clumsy Child that child will invariably be your Injury-Prone Child.
