Sam’s One?? Can’t Be Our Sam.

By Kevin | Published February 1, 2012

Stop The Presses It’s actually old news, since his birthday was back on January 8th, but yes, Samuel has turned one. When you’re the fourth child with a birthday after a busy holiday season you just have to be patient for birthday celebrations. In his case it was only a week late, but we did [...]

A Trip to Texas

By Kevin | Published November 11, 2011

So like I mentioned in my last post, Erin and I were able to spend some time in the great state of Texas. We didn’t get to spend too much time exploring the vast countryside, but we did drive from Houston to Austin, Austin to Dallas, and then Dallas back to Houston… in three days. [...]

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 [...]

On Challenges

By Kevin | Published October 30, 2011

Okay, so if you’ve been reading this blog for any length of time, you might think that we view our children as a challenge impacting our sanity. And you’d be right… sorta. Because, as any parent recognizes, children are certainly a challenge. For us, sanity has become a relative term. But that’s not the only [...]

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 [...]

- 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. ;)
