Marcos goes a-shootin'
As you all know, I am a manly man, a doer of deeds, who constantly seeks out new physical experiences and adventures...
Riiiiight.
OK, so I don't do anything manlier than home repair, and even then, I'm impressed with myself if I can patch a hole in drywall and not be able to point out the spot where it used to be from 11 yards away 1. ( Read more... ) -
Connor the board gamer
(This entry also posted to mightybear; sorry for the duplicate if you follow both!)
Connor's interest in board games extends beyond traditional kids' games and those of his own devising. He seems to have an especial interest in abstract strategy - which makes sense for a Kid Chess kid, but I suspect it also has something to do with wanting to ( Read more... ) -
Been a while, I see.
Been letting Jody handle the blogging around here, I guess. Anyway, you might be interested to know that I updated our website to include the last 10 posts to our blogs and photostream at the bottom of the page, making it closer to the one-stop shop for updates I originally wanted it to be. -

"I Spy" update

Sharing, pah! Generosity, pah! A Jedi craves not these things!
On the way out of his school, Chase likes to stop by the classrooms of all his former teachers and give them a good-bye hug - he loves them, and the feeling is mutual. Yesterday, Ms. Yasmin gave him a couple gummi worms to go with his hug.
Now on Mondays we pick up Chase's best friend Finn from the school next door, so he was with us for this ( Read more... )
