A great day

Today I have spent the day with my four year old. It has been great. He is at a perfect age. He wants to help me with everything, so we have been doing some of the chores around the house. Right now he is watching Star Wars Epsiode 2, it's his favorite movie for some reason. It just feels great to... Sign in to see full entry.

Making time to enjoy yourself

After the week that I just got through I needed a few days like today. We took it easy, with no real set schedule of anything. My wife's father had gotten us some free passes to an antique show at his work, so we went with her mother. After that we found ourselves in city park. Out four year old...

It was a good day with the family

Due to the forth falling on Sunday I was told I needed to take an extra day off to make up for the holiday, so I picked today. My wife is off due to her surgery three weeks ago, so we all had a free day together. We took the boys first to the Zoo and saw the new exhibit they opened up last month. It...

Honesty

My wife and I just had a real hard moment for us. Tomorrow my wife is going into surgery, nothing big. The last pregnancy tore her up a good deal and now she needs a partial hysterectomy. We decided to wait until now to tell our four year-old about it, die to his emotional nature. It has been hard... Sign in to see full entry.

Those long nights

Last night out one year old was sick. He kept throwing up. We had to change his bed six time through out the night. He had no fever, so it did not seem to be the flu. We are thinking it might be something he ate. He did try some of my claim chowder, so it might be an allergy to that. One of the big... Sign in to see full entry.

Now this has been a good weekend

Friday evening we got with my parents and my grandmother and saw the new Harry Potter movie. My four year old was really interested in it. Yesterday my four year old went fishing for the first time and really enjoyed it. We then went to a pre-opening thing for a new Children's Museum. Spent some... Sign in to see full entry.

Teaching right and wrong without religion

I grew up in a non-religious household. We went to church for a little while when I was young, but my mom even admits it was mostly a social thing. I can honestly say I have never gotten a thing from any teachings of a church. Yet some how my mother and step-father were able to get me to know right... Sign in to see full entry.

'Blame Canada'

I had a desire to watch South Park, and since my wife and kids had not gotten home yet I had time to watch the Movie. If you have not yet seen South Park the Movie you really should. Even if you are not a fan it is just brilliant. So why the hell am I talking about South Park the Movie here? Well if... Sign in to see full entry.

And here we have another great day

We went to a sci-fi convention today. It has been a while since I was able to get to one, but with my dad in town we figured it would make for a fun day. My four year-old was real excited about being able to run around in his Jedi Costume all day. He even got ot fight off some orcs at one point. I... Sign in to see full entry.

Another great day

I love days off. And when you get out and do stuff it makes them even better. We went to the zoo and then the Museum of Nature and History and that was our morning. We just got back from a birthday party at Chuck E Cheese. So it was a busy, but fun day. Tomorrow we are going to a sci-fi convention,... Sign in to see full entry.
