For the first time ever, our 14 month old Asher slept through the night. He normally gets up at least 2 times a night and I have to feed him and put him back to sleep. Last night, he finally went to sleep at 11:35 p.m. and slept until almost 6 a.m. When he woke …

Tight Race
The Presidential race is neck and neck, even among grade schoolers. Jude’s online class voted for their favorite Presidential candidate yesterday and it was split down the middle. I look forward to taking Jude to vote with me tonight.
Widdle Wevi
This weekend at the wedding reception, I put Jude in charge of watching over Levi during the movie they put on for the kids. My sister went up to check on the boys and saw Levi running for the door. Jude jumped up (as a good big brother would do) and said, “Wevi, do you …
Jude’s Dirty Head
I’ve been pretty horrified looking at what I thought was Jude’s dirty head the past few days. I thought that it had been bald for so long that it was collecting dirt and that we weren’t going a good enough job cleaning it up during bath time. Well, it turns out it is not dirt …
Happy Birthday, Andy!
Today is Andy’s birthday. It appears he celebrated by giving himself a day off from any clean up at all. Wow. The place looks like a tornado went through it. It worked out good that I had an client presentation at the end of the day so I had my car (instead of a bus …
Weekend in Fargo
After Jude’s karate class on Saturday, we headed to Fargo for a weekend with my sister’s family. It’s always great to see them. Our boys had a great time playing with their cousins and no one was injured so it was a great success. On Saturday evening, all of us went to a wedding reception …
Jude the Germophobe
Jude takes after Andy in being a germaphobe. He was terrified when I told him that I was feeling a little sick last night (with just a sore throat). Jude said, “Don’t touch me. Don’t touch anything by me and don’t kiss me!” Then Asher, who I’m sure I couldn’t resist kissing and was thus …
Busy Night
Last night (Halloween) was a really busy night where we were all on the go, going in opposite directions. Andy nailed it by describing tonight as exactly what he doesn’t want his life to become. All we did was run kids. I left work early to get home to take Jude to karate. I brought Asher …
Straight Up Like Sofia
Giving Jude his twice daily anti-seizure medicine was always a chore. He’d take it mixed with about 3 ounces of Kool-Aid and it often took him forever to drink it. Often he’d run away from the table several times before drinking it and a couple times Levi intercepted it and drank it or spilled it. …
Levi’s Quote of the Day
Little Levi is starting to talk! And, now he’s even getting his first quote of the day recorded. Little Levi is quite animated whenever he talks. He pointed to a cracked tile on our kitchen floor tonight and said, “My house broken!”
