8 Things No One Tells You About Being A Parent

by @ Wednesday, August 29th, 2007. Filed under Family

I’ve been a parent for 7 1/2 years now. CNN has an article up with some of the things about parenting that no one talks about. I altered the title a bit, since it applies to dads just as much as moms. The ones that have been hardest to learn for me are “You feel [...]

Bioshock

by @ Friday, August 24th, 2007. Filed under Games, xbox 360

After 3 days of headaches, I was finally able to play Bioshock last night! It was awesome. I decided to get it for the Xbox360 since I had a nice new HDTV to play it on. It looks incredible on it. The game play has been excellent so far also. I’ve finished the first two [...]

HDTV!

by @ Friday, August 17th, 2007. Filed under Family, Television

So we headed off to CosoCo this afternoon and came home with our new television! It’s a Vizio VU42LF LCD 1080p. The XBox 360 looks awesome on it! Standard Def television leaves a little something to be desired, but after 30 minutes or so of watching it, we didn’t mind it at all. Shrek looked [...]

After an 138 hour outage, we finally have access to the Internet again.  You really don’t realize how much you use something like that till it’s gone.  Kate and I were at wits end not being able to rush over to look something up online when we had a passing question about something.  We are [...]

Kids Back Home

by @ Saturday, August 11th, 2007. Filed under Family, Vacation

We went and met my parents in Colonial Heights today to pick the kids up.  They’d had a great time visiting, but were happy to see us as well.  We all ate lunch together and then went our separate ways.  It’s great having them back home.  I’m glad they had fun, but I still like [...]

Summer Trip

by @ Wednesday, August 8th, 2007. Filed under Family, Vacation

Kate and I got home yesterday from visiting my family.  We went down on Wednesday last week to Clinton.  Then we went to the beach on Thursday and stayed there till Saturday night.  Xander and Mira had a great time playing in the water and riding the boat.  Joey even taught Xander how to fish!  [...]
