Kids Update

by @ Tuesday, January 30th, 2007. Filed under Family

Mira is still running a fever and has a bad cough.  Xander’s temp made it up to 102.5°F last night.  Kate has a bad cough and a sore throat.  So I’m home today on sick duty.

Xander Sick Too

by @ Monday, January 29th, 2007. Filed under Family

I had to go pick Xander up from school a little early today.  He’s got a temp of 101°F currently.  He seems to be doing pretty well with it though.  Hopefully it’ll be a quick virus and he’ll be over it.

I Still Don’t Have a Wii

by @ Sunday, January 28th, 2007. Filed under Games, Personal, Wii

I’ve still not managed to pick up a Wii for myself. I could have this morning, but I didn’t. Wal-Mart had them this morning. I called and they seemed to have plenty. I just couldn’t bring myself to give Wal-Mart the money though. I just don’t like them as a company. I can bring myself [...]

Croup

by @ Sunday, January 28th, 2007. Filed under Family

Mira work up yesterday morning with a very croupy cough. Nothing serious though. She and I bundled up and went outside for about 5 minutes and that helped some. Then we moved the cool mist humidifier right under where she wanted to sit on the couch, and that helped also. She’s been running a fever [...]

Bioshock Preview

by @ Wednesday, January 24th, 2007. Filed under Games, xbox 360

Computer and Video Games has up a preview for BioShock. I’m really looking forward to this game. It looks like it is going to be something beyond the usual shoot ‘em up that so many FPS games have become.

Back Home Again

by @ Sunday, January 21st, 2007. Filed under Family, Weather

We are back home again.  Boy what a trip.  The funeral was very well done.   We held a graveside service at 2pm Friday and had a reception after.  It was nice to have all the family together even if it wasn’t for the best of reasons.  Xander, Mira, Trin, and McKena all had a great [...]

A Passing

by @ Wednesday, January 17th, 2007. Filed under Family, Personal

My Dad called this morning to let us know that his mom, Nanaw to us, passed away overnight. It’s been a long time coming. She’s been expected to die so many times now, I can’t even count them. It’s sad to have lost her, but it’s a relief also. She’s been in bad health for [...]

Chocolate Covered Altoids

by @ Saturday, January 13th, 2007. Filed under Food

For the record, yes they are very good.  Kate got us the peppermint and the cinnamon, both were quite yummy.

Chocolate Covered Altoids

Ah, yum. This was a post on Slashfood back in August, I’ve not noticed them in stores though. I’m not normally a big fan of dark chocolate but I’ll be on the lookout for these anyway. Looks like at least one type is out. I’ll really have to be on the lookout for them.

School Visit

by @ Wednesday, January 10th, 2007. Filed under Family

Today I got to visit the kids classrooms, First up was Xander. First he showed me his handwriting practice that he does every morning. He takes some tracing paper and lays it over a template with the alphabet, some punctuation, and numbers on it. Then he practices making all of them. After that , he [...]

New Year’s 2007

by @ Monday, January 1st, 2007. Filed under Family, Vacation

Happy 2007!  We’ve had a wonderful start to the new year together.  We’re all a little sad about getting back to the real world again tomorrow though.  We’ve gotten used to spending all our time together doing pretty much what we want.  Now it’s back to work and school again.  It’s been a wonderful break [...]
