Gathering of the Men

tom | June 26, 2004

I’m sitting here working on a beautiful Saturday afternoon and the men of the neighborhood are across the street at Matt’s place playing with his new boat. Of course, the battery was dead so they spent a little time getting it a jump start. It just fired up and I looked out my [...]

Pink Eye Strikes Again

tom | June 22, 2004

One of the nice benefits of going to daycare is the inevitable contraction of Conjunctivitis (Pink Eye). Big Ben seems to have been this week’s winner so we get to apply drops to his eyes 4 times per day for the next 5 days. I guess I’m glad he’s so young… it was [...]

Father’s Day (non) Festivities

tom | June 20, 2004

I’m sitting here at home, by myself, watching the U.S. Open and flipping from time to time back to the NASCAR race in Michigan. I love more than anything time with my family but once in a while, it sure is nice to sit back with a can of beer and watch the tube [...]

Happy Birthday Abigail!

Craft Time

Keep the kids busy and having fun by working with household items to build cool crafts. More 3-year-old birthday fun.

Lucas and Sunshine

tom | June 18, 2004

Sunshine is doing much better around the little folk these days. It must be tough to be 100lbs. and an eager ball chaser with the liability of little people running around your backyard.

Abby and Keeley

tom | June 18, 2004

I always feel the need to reiterate this: Abs and Keeley were born ~4 weeks apart and lived just a few blocks away. Keeley’s Dad and I have known each other since High School so it has been a special relationship and (from Abby’s side at least) they are best friends. This is [...]

Dangerous Pancakes

tom | June 18, 2004

Just to be safe, we better keep the gear on, in case the pancakes object to gnashing or syrup dunking.

Another Look

tom | June 18, 2004

Still geared up. I was considering a wrap in that bubbly shipping material as a replacement for all of this gear but then we’d have a choking hazard wouldn’t we?
