The main idea was that each child would learn about some part of their own culture, research it and then create one of several possible projects to display their culture knowledge at a school fair (which is this Friday). And then, 4 […]

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 […]

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. […]

Pure joy these kids are. They are just so fascinating and entertaining to watch. They are so well brainwashed that they’re excited about peas and cucumbers. Literally, excited! You would think it was a happy meal.

It has been a few months since I picked up the camera. There are usually less opportunities to shoot anything interesting during the winter months and I think I was a little burned out by the time winter set in anyway. Recently I pulled out the camera to use it on shoot for BTS photos […]

I know we’re late to the party on this one. Our kids have not been brushing daily and even though they’re 4 and 6 years old they’ve never had a checkup. We always planned on it but never got around to it. It was always just one more thing out of reach of our schedules. […]
