Today was my day to work from home, so when 3:20 PM came by Violet and I headed out to get Jacob from school. While getting ready I asked if she wanted to ware, Jacket or Sweater? She said sweater and as soon as she had it on her hands were in the pockets and …

POD: Bed Time Chart
After struggling to get Jacob to give up his Susu Melissa came up with a great idea. If he went 14 nights without one he’d get to pick a toy out from Toys’r’us. Each morning he’d get a sticker and we’d paste it to a chart we kept on the fridge. It worked great, though …

POD: Helping Hand
Today after dinner I took the kids to the park. Our picture to-day is of Jacob pushing Violet on the swing. I think it’s one of her favourite things to do at the big park near our house. Of course she also took the time at the park to show me just how much of …

POD: Boys will by Boys
We don’t usually let Jacob play with Toy Guns, but today after dinner, he was outside playing with one of his friends who’d brought out a couple of his. Watching him played brought back memories of my youth and I couldn’t help but think my little guy is growing up.
POD: Pizza Night
For dinner tonight we had home-made pizza. The kids got really excited helping to make it, from shredding cheese to spreading the sauce. They were so excited that after we put it in the oven they pulled their chairs up to watch it cook.
POD: Family Rules
Recently Melissa and the Kids worked out a set of family rules. Melissa took the time to write it up all nice and pretty. So we posted them on the wall.
POD: Party Girl
Today Melissa and Violet headed off to a friends baby shower. So our picture today is of Violet socializing with some other kids.
POD: First Race (29:34)
Today was race day. After 10 months of running mostly alone on the local streets I finally got into an organized race. Running with a crowd adds a new dimension to running that I didn’t really expect. Though It was a great experience and though I fell short of my ultimate goal of under 28 …
