Thankful for Paras!

The kids had their holiday concerts at school on Tuesday. The teachers did such a great job coordinating everything and the kids were all so cute as they performed their songs – with props (I think I saw a few budding stars up there as well!) As I watched the different grades transition on and… Read More Thankful for Paras!

Technology is our new best friend!

Within five minutes of observing Gavin, she (and the rest of the team for that matter) said “the issue we have here is this super smart kid is in the wrong body. So we need to fix this.”… Read More Technology is our new best friend!

Parenting: It’s the hard-knock life

Boy did “Annie” ever have it right! [Parenting] is a hard-knock life! (Side note: just to be clear, I mean the “Annie” of 1982 release).

As much as we may want it to, time doesn’t slow down, stand still or even go in reverse. Not even The Grinch… Read More Time Is The Enemy

This Father’s Day Gran’pa and I took the kids on an adventure. Anytime our family decides to step out of our comfort zone or routine, it’s an adventure. At almost six and just seven, we are beginning to feel comfortable going out to new places in less ‘kid-friendly’ ways. So we set off for Massachusetts, spending half… Read More Father’s Day Adventure!
