One of my biggest concerns about Ethan starting Kindergarten was our morning schedule. I wasn’t worried about getting the kids up in time, I was concerned that my habit of hitting the snooze alarm… repeatedly… for as long as an hour… would make us all late. My solution was the Ice Cube Alarm clock. I [...]
I don’t actually like this but Ethan has found a new tree to climb in our yard (its a big tree can you spot him?). Its the big blue spruce in our front yard that the chickens have made their second home. Ethan followed the chickens under it one day and discovered that he likes [...]
We’re getting adjusted to our new antenna setup and programming our favorite shows into the TiVo. We miss a few things from the large satelite buffet, but it is so nice to be getting PBS again.

At the start of the school year I became increasingly involved with Facebook. Going to Ethan’s open house before the start of kindergarten brought back a flood of memories from elementary school and I hit facebook where I found many of my former classmates. For the past 2 weeks we’ve been retelling stories from our [...]
