Strange Form of Life




I should not forget to mention that since my November blog it has also been Cale's birthday and I now have one year left in my twenties. Ruby, our beloved pup, shares her birthday with Baby Jesus. Maybe one day Ruby we'll save us all from a burning fire and December 25th will become much more about her than about Christmas. Not that it is about Christmas now. I hope I am not offending anyone by saying so but our family is part of the 15% of Americans that do not have a religious affiliation (and prefer to keep it that way). Still we love Christmas... mostly we love the cold and snow and we all have birthdays in December. One day Ruby will save us all.

All My Days


Today is Maya's birthday. She is four years old and like any good father I hope she stays this old forever.

Two months later...

Ok I admit I'm super lazy and haven't posted for two months. Everyone is probably waiting on Halloween pics but since we forgot our camera keep waiting. Maybe those wonderful in-laws of mine can send over some pics, please.

Well what has happened the last two months? Cale started and finished a season of soccer. Sometimes he tried to run and once or twice a game he actually kicked the ball but I think he had fun.

He is one of the smartest kids in his class and can read most of his books and has excellent handwriting. I also have beautiful handwriting as anyone will tell you.

Maya is mostly just being Maya. She goes to preschool where we think she is fairly quiet. Her and Aden are playing a lot together lately.


Aden is starting to sleep a little better and I'm not up too much in the middle of the night. He loves Dora the Explorer now and his siblings tolerate it for his sake. They would rather be watching MTV or whatever the kids watch these days.


Finally, I feel a great deal of hope for the future and for my children. Reason has finally triumphed over extremism. I realize things will not be perfect but at this moment in history it would seem that things can only get better.
