A Ride With Baby Girl
Molly has been waiting since she learned to ride a two wheeler for me to take her on her first official bike ride. I haven't avoided taking her, but my schedule is pretty heavy on the older kids, so it's been tough to find a time.

Sunday Exhaustion
Sundays are for me, in large measure, days of habit. I get up, go to meetings, take care of anything I need to do after meetings and hopefully I'm home in the early afternoon to spend the rest of the day with family. One thing I always do is take a short nap (20 mintues or so) to catch up on some sleep. This isn't to say that there's nothing to ( Read more... ) -
Survivor Humor
Some of you (you know who you are) love the reality television show Survivor. After last night's episode, a friend put this recap of next weeks show up. I thought it was funny and would share here. (spelling errors are not mine)
