We were all driving in the van one day when for some unknown reason, K3 suddenly became motivated to express her gratitude to her parents. She yelled out, and I mean literally, yelled out, “Mommy and Daddy, you are the best parents ever!” Naturally, we were both amused and appreciative of the sentiment and could [...]

They Grow Up So Fast #2
Posted in Kids on Thursday, June 25, 2009 | 1 Comment »
I just did something I’ve never done before. I sent an email and instead of using my name for the signature, I used “Daddy”. Yeah, I know, another really simple thing but it was just another one of those moments.
Fond Memories

For Father’s day, K1 gave me a project she made at school. They were asked to write about a “memory” they had of their Dad on a big piece of paper. Here is the story, as written by my nine year old daughter. Dear Daddy, I have so many memories already, one of them includes [...]
They grow up so fast

Any parent whose kids are growing up has probably said that phrase numerous times. It’s usually attributed to such moments such as when they start to walk, their first day of school or their first sleep over. I know I have said it myself through the years. Sometimes it is in jest, other times it [...]
Wash and Rinse Please

Life as a toddler can be hard. Take K4 for example. His hair is at that point where it is probably long enough to be cut but not too long so he looks like a girl (and it still looks cute). And like many of us, he can have a “bad hair day”. I came [...]
Happy Feet

While at Busch Gardens, we went to see the Irish Dance show. It was a spectacular array of flying feet, leaps, bounds, singing and musical duels that really was a joy to watch (seriously, they really were good). They were so good, they inspired K3 to the point her happy feet just got the best [...]
Where’s Piggy?

To be fair, when I introduced my kids I should have included K5. That would be K3′s Pig. A big pink stuffed pig that we bought at a zoo when K3 was a baby. She has grown up attached to that Pig and it goes everywhere with us. Before K3 could really talk, she learned [...]
You sank my battleship!

When I was kid, I liked to play in the bathtub. I would use what ever objects were handy and pretend they were ships and submarines. I would have epic battles on the open seas and generally have lots of fun. As I have mentioned already, K4 also likes the tub. When Wife was giving [...]
Boy’s night in

Once in a while, me and the guys at home get to hang out together while the girls go out for a night on the town. In others words, Wife, K1 and K3 went to the Senior Dance Recital (their recital is tomorrow). Me, K2 and K4 stayed home and just dreamed of all the [...]
Daddy’s little helper

K2 is an early to bed and an early riser. When you wake him up in the morning, he blinks his eyes for a few seconds, then pops up like a wood-chuck and off he goes. The other day, I overslept and realized we only had 20 minutes to get the kids dressed, fed, teeth-brushed [...]
