Reliving the Past

Back in 2005, when we discovered we were expecting our 4th child, I decided to find a new way (for us, at least) to announce the blessed event to our parents. So I took a little piece of the internet that Verizon had carved out for me and created our first family webpage.

In the interest of consolidation, I've now archived all of those posts over to Blogger. Check them out below or via the Blog Archive in the right-hand column.

Generation Gap

This past weekend I had the first of what is sure to be many such encounters with my children over the coming years.

Alex and I are in the car, headed to Martin Honda to pick up some parts on Saturday. I’ve got David Cook playing on the CD player. Alex looks over and asks, “Who is this?”

Now, honestly, I myself don’t know anything about David Cook. I just know I hear the song Light On on the radio and like it. So, almost sarcastically, not expecting it to mean anything to him either, I responded that it was David Cook.

He responds, “Oh,” and doesn’t say another word.

A few moments pass and I have to ask, “Did the fact that I told you it was David Cook mean anything to you?”

Without hesitation Alex tells me that he was on American Idol. That the kids in his class, particularly the girls, talked about him a lot.

Yeah, I'm starting to feel old…

Snow Day Shenanigans

Not only were we blessed with our first significant snowfall in quite some time, but the kids were doubly blessed with 2 days off to enjoy it. Woo hoo!

So on Tuesday AM, Mommy bundled up our horde, threw a neighborhood friend in the van for good measure, and met Uncle Jeff, and cousins Allie and Joey up on Campbell Mountain.

Not much else to say. I'll let the pictures and video speak for themselves...

Oh, and Happy Square Root Day!
