It might be more appropriate to say that I’m a smelly, stinky boy but I thought I’d give the title of this post something a little less jarring in description. I like to play around with my dog (Sunshine) sometimes by waiting until he falls asleep and then sneaking away. I think after 3-5 minutes [...]

Kerri and I have not been logging much sleep the last few days because Ben has had Croup. This is not our first exposure to the beast — Ben had it on his birthday last February and in June of 2004. Abby has had it at least once before, back in 2003. This morning I [...]

4 years and 60 minutes ago we began the rough introduction to parenthood with the arrival of Abigail Grace McDonald. I remember thinking that first day, “what have we gotten ourselves into?!?”. The following 6 weeks were filled with rigorous stamina and patience tolerance tests. I’m not certain but I believe if there was a [...]

If a person cannot semll ‘mint’, or ‘eucalyptus’ (among other smelly things) they are quite likely to develop Alzeimer’s. Guess what. I can’t smell either of those items and [...]

I had the kids again today by myself and I’m getting better at it, even as Ben’s manipulation skills improve and Abigail’s disappearing act is perfected.

I changed my son’s diaper for the first time a few minutes ago. We were a bit concerned because he had not pee’d or pooped since early in the morning so I thought I would check. Mind you that I’ve been changing my daughter’s diaper for more than two years so I was pretty confident. [...]

Water broke 30 mins ago… time to go to the hospital. A prayer for us would be appreciated and we’ll post some news when we have it (and when we have net.access).

This is a weird and personal one but I found the idea quite interesting. I’m at the beginning stage of …

We’ve got a big family get together at my Dad’s sister’s place (Aunt Mary). All of my sibblings (except for Molly who is in Boston) and their families will be there as well as a bunch of cousins, aunts, etc. It’s time to play, “I have the cutest child”. Tomorrow night we may make it [...]

I’m off to Nevada to visit with Kerri’s parents. Driving for 8 hours makes me agree with most of the people who know me and know I’m an idiot because of my fear of flying. Happy trails to me.
