Things about my life.
It was the kids last day of school today. They both had a great day. There were treats and snacks and playing outside with various forms of water. Mira’s class played with sponges doing different games with them and getting totally soaked. Xander’s class took a more traditional water gun fight approach to soaking themselves. [...]
I took the day off from work today to chaparone Xander’s class at the National Zoo. Kate did the same thing for Mira’s class. We had a great day! It was a lot of fun seeing the animals, and even more fun seeing the kids seeing the animals. We had a great day and I’m [...]
The kids and I did some cooking today. We make a Strawberry Trifle and Tuna Melts. They both impressed me with all the stuff they were able to do, and with how interested they were in doing it. Both things came out great! Tomorrow we are planning are making turkey burgers and maybe even some [...]
Point one, WiiFit isn’t kidding around. Point two, I’m out of shape. Hopefully WiiFit will be able to help encourage me in that regard. It is a lot of fun. Some of the exercises are quite challenging for a sedate software engineer such as myself. If i can keep up with it though, it should [...]
I should also mention how amazed I was with Xander today. I picked him up from school today. He had a book waiting for him at the library that he’d requested for a research project he’s doing. I was amazed at how comfortable he was there. We walked in and he walked right up to [...]
I was having some reading time with Mira today when she declared, “When I’m a wife, I’ll come see you everyday!” Then she paused for a moment and thought and added, “And if I’m sick I’ll have my husband drive me, because I shouldn’t be driving when I’m sick.” Kids are just wonderful sometimes, you [...]
We had a nice Mother’s Day today. We gave Kate her presents in the morning. Then we went out for a nice lunch. In the afternoon we watched Raiders of the Lost Ark with the kids for the first time. It was a nice day, and I hope Kate enjoyed it as much as I [...]
Xander and I had a great day today. He got to go to work with me today for Take Your Child to Work Day. AOL does a big deal for it every year. This is the first year I’ve taken him though. Mira isn’t quite old enough yet, so I just took Xander. We had [...]
We had a pretty awesome day today. We played some Rock Band in the morning. It was a beautiful day today, so we went out to Lansdowne Town Center to have sit outside and have lunch at Not Your Average Joe’s. After that we went to the courtyard there and let the kids run off [...]
Kate and I celebrated out 13th anniversary today. As is out tradition, we didn’t do all that much other than enjoy being together. She and Mira came and met me for lunch today, and all four of us went out for dinner. After the kids were in bed, we had a nice evening together watching [...]
Xander, Mira, and I have been sick since last weekend. Running fevers between 99.5 and 102 at various times. We are on the mend now though. We went to the doctor on Wednesday and each got medicine and it seems to have made a difference. It was a long and mostly miserable week though.
So the kids had one last day out of school today for Spring Break, so I went ahead and took the day off from work. We didn’t do anything particularly special, we just enjoyed having another day together. We got the Dancing With The Stars from last week watched, and Xander and I spent some [...]
We’ve had a nice Easter so far today. The kids let us sleep in a little bit this morning. Then we came downstairs and they enjoyed going through their Easter baskets. Then Kate and I went outside and hid plastic Easter eggs for the kids to find. They had a wonderful time running around the [...]
We just walked in from picking up Xander from my parents. He seems to have had a great time. Such a great time that he slept half the way home! I’m glad he had so much fun, but I’m even happier to have him back home with us again.
Just wishing you all a happy Spring. Sadly, we didn’t get as much snow as I’d have liked this year, and it seems unlikely we’ll get any more at this point, but you never know. I’m looking forward to having Xander back home with us this weekend, but I’ve also enjoyed having some personal time [...]
