We meet about 2-3 times a month and share a babysitter to study God’s word and have fellowship time with other people from our church.

I am coming up on my first anniversary in a few days, the first anniversary of joining my local YMCA.  About this time last year, one of my co-workers asked if I wanted to start going to the “Y” with him in the mornings before work.  I had been wishing I could figure out a [...]

Today Peter was Mr. Mom as I went off to work and he did the childcare. The kids love the attention from their Daddy. They are always playing just a little rougher, louder and longer than they do with me so of course Daddy days are always a hit! This afternoon he set up the [...]

Molly is on day 5 of a cold and Ryan was diagnosed with an ear infection today. He started acting out of sorts on Sunday but by Tuesday morning he complained of a head and earache. He did comment without prompting that, “My heart feels great!” Ryan was very grateful for everything I did for [...]

Thanks to Dr. Suess and Wonder Red from Super Why Ryan is in a rhyming phase. Everything has to have a rhyme even when no English word exists- he just makes one up! He is learning to skateboard and he loves wearing his red skate helmet and pads [largely due to the fact that I [...]

Molly’s latest nickname is Molly-buns. She is so cute I just want to eat her up like a Cinnabon. She just started wearing double pig-tails and clips, it is so fun having a girl around! Her first word is offically “Ah-Oh”. It seems appropreiate for her as she is always trying to get into everything. [...]

Peter was presented with a homemade breakfast smoothie and a plate of bacon for his Father’s Day Breakfast. I did wonder if giving him a heart attack on a plate was actually a gift or not but none the less it was readily devoured. After church services we went to Prior Lake to celebrate with [...]

Soba noodles, tempura and sushi….mmmmmmmmm! I was fortunate enough to help Janielle Batchelder soon to be Janielle Nordell (Ben) celebrate her upcoming marriage with a bachelorette dinner at a restaurant called Fujiya. The food was delicious and brought me very much back to my days living in Japan where my apartment was 1/2 block from [...]
