Ok, Ricky… this one is entirely your fault! For those of you who don’t know, The Godes’ paid a visit to Stroud recently and brought along their newest toy (besides little Drew), a Nintendo wii. Angie and Kennedy came home from visiting them and before they could even tell me about little Drew, […]

I’ve been in talks with our local tech center to become their “Communications Specialist” next year.  I thought it would be a nice change of pace and a big bump in salary; however, I’ve decided to stay put at Luther for now.  After giving this a lot of thought, I just don’t think it would […]

Yesterday, Kennedy and I went to a park close to our neighborhood.  I walked, and she rode her scooter.  When we arrived, K. zoomed into a parking space and got off her scooter.  She looked up and saw that she had parked in a handicapped spot.  So, she got back on the scooter, backed it […]

Ricky, you’ll be pleased to know that I’ve finally stepped into the 21st Century and acquired an actual zoom lens for my camera. Specifically the 18-200mm f/3.5-5.6 G ED-IF AF-S VR DX Zoom-Nikkor.
Actually, Ricky, this one’s not your fault entirely… Trying to shoot K’s end-of-year school events, graduation and awards assemblies, etc., not to […]

Kennedy was the only PreKer to receive an award for perfect attendance at the awards assembly this morning. I had to miss it due to a job interview, but Walt captured the momentous occasion with his new lens he bought to celebrate his new job. It’s all good; he’s buying Kennedy and I […]

Kennedy has been so tired lately. Chalk it up to TBall, Zoo Trips, and other end of the year activities. Despite this, she has begun (yet again, she used to be terrible when she was a baby) to fight going to sleep. That includes wiggling and giggling during the prayer. So, […]

PreK graduation was this morning, and Kennedy ended the school year the same way she began: with a frown on her face. The first day of school, K. was scared about meeting new people. Today, I think she was scared because there were so darned many people at the graduation ceremony. […]

Kennedy’s 5th birthday party will be held during the afternoon on June 9.  It will be a water play party; basically, we’ll have a slip n slide, sprinkler ball, and maybe a little wading pool, so bring your swimsuits and towels!  Invitations and more details will be forthcoming as soon as I get out of […]

I was watching American Chopper a while back, and Mikey had gotten a new digital still camera and the boys in the shop were using it to make a movie. I thought, “Hey, that’s a cool idea!” My Nikon shoots about 3 frames per second, so today I used it to shoot a […]

Walt had a client come over to work on a project for about an hour today. Kennedy entertained herself while Daddy worked. She told me, “Okay, Mom, this is how it happened. Dad was working and my favorite show wasn’t on (amazingly enough because EVERYTHING is her favorite show) and I was […]
