Easter Sunday Egg Hunt Surprise [video]
This year instead of going to the big local Egg Hunt on Saturday we (and when I say “we” I mean Brenda) created a egg hunt in our side yard. The kids didn’t know about it until right before it happened and it was a nice surprise for them. I’m always amazed at seeing the […]

Sydney Turns 5… 8 Weeks Ago
There are so many things I was better at before having kids. One of them was finishing what I started on-time. I started editing this video for Sydney the day after her birthday, back in late November (her Birthday was Thanksgiving Day this year). But OMG I thought I would never finish. First, I decided […]

Welcome 2015 – A Year of Gratitude
If there’s one thing I’ve had to come to admit to myself, it’s that I start far more projects than I finish. I seem to say “yes” to so many things – both for myself and others. As much as I continue to prioritize and scale down that list of things I want to accomplish, […]

Pumpkin Picking 2014
Some photos from our 2014 Pumpkin Picking trip. The last time we went the boys were a lot younger and Sydney had yet to see the light of day. The rest can be found on SmugMug.

A Worldwide Medical Crisis Autism was once so rare that it did not have a name. The renowned American psychiatrist Dr. Leo Kanner described autism in a 1943 paper based on observations of 11 children. For several decades afterwards, autism was thought to afflict 4 or 5 out of every 10,000 children. Over the past […]

Tooth Fairy – Andrew’s Note
It’s so refreshing how honest and simple kids can be. No games, no trying to dress up the message – they just get right to the point.

Spring Concerts 2014 -Sydney
Seems like the Wizard of Oz is inescapable this year for me! Sydney was the tornado this year. It’s not a leading part but she gave it all she had!

Spring Concerts 2014 -Andrew
I’m so proud of all of our kids, and I especially admire how confident they are in themselves. I don’t remember being as outgoing as our kids are when I was their age. So when I was watching Andrew perform at his school it really amazed me how much he just puts himself out there. […]
