Bringing Home Books

At Mira’s school you are allowed to bring home books from the class.  However, you can only do that once you have starting being able to read them.  Today, Mira got to bring home her first book!  It’s a very simple book, of course, but she was able to sit with me on the couch [...]

Tooth Number Four

Filed under Family

Xander lost another tooth today.  The top left incisor.  He was playing at school and he and one of his friends got into each other somehow, I’m still not clear on that part.  Xander felt the tooth fall out!  It was not to be found though, so, as Xander said, “I lost it, lost it!”  [...]

Birthday Party

We had Xander’s birthday party today.  We took him and his classmates (and Mira) to BeniHana for a nice lunch.  The kids all seemed to have a great time.  It was fun getting to watch Xander and his friends interact with each other.  Before bed, Xander said that this was the best day he’d ever [...]

Has It Been 8 Years Already?

Xander turned 8 years old today.  We went to his school this morning for his walk around the sun, which was as much an event as it always has been.  Xander had a great time and they even included Mira’s class, so she could see it too.  Once we picked him up from school we [...]

Not Much Snow

The snow didn’t amount to much more than a dusting.  Things did clear up for the lunar eclipse though, which was nice.

Snow!

It’s snowing outside the window here at work. We’ve not had nearly as much snow as I’d like this year. Hopefully we’ll get at least an inch or two out of this system.

50th Daytona 500

That was an awesome race! The CoT changed things up, and made them very exciting. It was exciting race with an awesome ending. Hopefully it’s a sign of an exciting year to come. We have been looking forward to racing season starting back up, and we weren’t disappointed! We’ve spent the last week absorbing all [...]

A Stroke of Luck

by @ Tuesday, February 5th, 2008. Filed under Family

So Kate goes to get in my car last night to go out to dinner with some of her friends and it won’t start.  It won’t even lock again.  The lights in the car just barely come on.  Clearly, the battery is dead.  I call up the Honda place and schedule to take it in [...]

Benihana

I’d never been to an actual Benihana before.  Kate and I have done teppanyaki at lots of other places, but never at a Banihana.  One opened up in Dulles Town Center this week, so we took this kids today for lunch. We all loved it. The food was great and the kids loved watching the [...]
