Funky Soccer

September 20th, 2008 · No Comments

Asher had his second soccer “game” today. I missed the first one, but it sounded like he had a lot of fun. This time, not so much. I took this little movie with my phone on the field.

The Day Of Grease

September 1st, 2008 · No Comments

I had no plans for actual labor this Labor Day, but it kinda worked out otherwise.
Amy went to work, while the boys and I had a plan to take a bike ride before Asher’s nap. Before we could ride, I had to fix the flat on my bike (lousy patch job on the last flat). [...]

Asher’s 3rd Family Day

May 26th, 2008 · 2 Comments

Today was Asher’s 3rd ‘Family Day.’ That’s the anniversary of the day Amy and I met Asher (and he, us). We intended to have a nice little party, but Ashy had a fever for the last few days and we had to cancel. He woke up without a fever this morning, though, so by tomorrow [...]

Don’t Kill Your Brother

March 19th, 2008 · 5 Comments

Asher’s got a problem: he’s 3.
Tonight he was rolling around in bed, talking 3-year old smack. Truman comes downstairs (they share a room) and tells me that “Asher told me, “I’m gonna kill you.”” So I go upstairs and talk to Ashy about that. Kid is hard, though. He don’t crack. No admission whatsoever. Except [...]

A family photowalk

January 5th, 2008 · 1 Comment

Amy had to teach this morning, so I had to figure out how to avoid the “housebound boy” syndrome (multiplied by three). Fortunately we all woke up late, then took our time savoring my lovingly handcrafted waffles made from scratch (without referring to a recipe, I might add). Then we leashed up Frodo, put Asher [...]

Kiwis and skating!

October 28th, 2007 · 1 Comment

It’s Fall in the Pacific Northwest. Must be time for kiwis!
We live in wine country–vineyards everywhere around here. But kiwis grow on vines, too. There aren’t many kiwi growers nearby, but Amy’s folks led us up to where their friend Paul grow kiwis. What a beautiful place! And the kiwis are awesome!

Paul grows a couple [...]
