Michele decided to give Cohen and Tristan what they wanted today: mohawk haircuts. Keegan calls them punk haircuts. Here are photos from the haircutting session. Don’t they look cute?

Michele isn’t feeling well this a.m. so we won’t be going to church.  Keegan stayed overnight at a friend’s house to work on a big school project, so things around here are a bit more quiet than usual.  Today is my beautiful wife’s birthday! so that makes it an extra special day.
I’ve been watching a [...]

My kids come up with the funniest things to say sometimes.  This morning, for example, Tristan was watching something on TV about the baby beluga whale that was recently born at the Shedd Aquarium.  He rushed upstairs to tell me, with great excitement:  “Dad!  Did you know that zoo we went to recently has a [...]

This is what Keegan has done each year for the past eight years, but this year is Tristan’s first time. His grandparents promised him that he could go with [...]

I’ve seen two new movies in the theaters in the past few days, and that is extremely unusual. Fortunately I liked both of them very much. Thursday night I went with Keegan to see the latest Harry Potter movie, and this afternoon Michele and I took Cohen and Brinley to see Ratatouille, the [...]

Yesterday (and the night before it) were pretty difficult for us because all three of the little ones were sick with colds and fevers. But we still had a bit of fun when, yesterday afternoon, I managed to pull a second loose tooth from the front of Tristan’s mouth. Thus the title of [...]
