Tomorrow I have to take a client out for lunch so I needed to get my car washed tonight. I wanted some company on the trip, so I asked Jude to come. I had a heck of a time finding an open car wash so I had to drive around a bit without a Garmin …

After work tonight, I decided to be brave and bring all 3 boys by myself to the play, Duck for President, at the Stages Theater. The boys couldn’t have been better for the first 40 minutes, but the last 20 minutes were difficult. Asher decided he wanted the spotlight. We were sitting in almost the …
My typical night consists of a game of what I call “musical beds.†I typically start out laying down with Asher and Jude in Jude’s bed and after Asher falls asleep, I transfer him into the crib. After Jude and I have prayed and I have told him a funny story, he falls asleep and …

Jude’s anti-seizure medicine commonly causes irritability as its main side effect. It seems to be highly effective in that regard. Jude seems to cry and throw tantrums more than his 2 little brothers combined. We can’t wait to get him weaned off this medicine, although he’s likely to be on it for another 9 months …

If you know me (and some of you really do), it’s killing me to not have the photos from the last 3 months in the album. There are hundreds of them that show our journey through Jude’s 2nd surgery and radiation and all the fun excursions we went on while making the most of our …
Jude’s online kindergarten teacher (who so far has done no teaching) gave us free reign to skip lessons, especially math and phonics to get Jude up speed with his school skills. So, Jude has essentially just been doing the unit quizzes all day long and will be done with kindergarten math and phonics in no …
