As this year’s football season officially closed out Sunday in joyous fashion with our New York Giants pulling out another thrilling victory over the Pats, it made me think about how much our house has recently become truly obsessed with football. Mommy and I are both getting glimpses of what it will be like around [...]

We all huddled near the door, nervous for what lay on the other side. We could barely hear the count from the din all around us but we tried to be brave. We could have been on a rescue mission, on a midnight ambush deep behind enemy lines. One, two, three – GO! The door [...]

Sometimes it seems as if our two and a half year old is growing older by the minute. Well I guess he actually is, but you know what I mean. He still takes a decent nap in the afternoons and on many days when I’m working from home, Mommy uses the time to get out to the [...]

The older boys and I were driving in my car yesterday. The “cool” car as they call it, or as their younger brother says, the “silly” car. I think it’s gotten those names because I occasionally take the corners faster than in the minivan and because I can reach my toddler better for tickles. Yesterday we were making [...]

I started crying at the breakfast table Sunday morning. Talking to the boys about September 11th on the tenth year anniversary of the attacks seemed like the right thing to do.

Intense for both of us, since, as I tend to do, I’ve signed up to help coach as well. This is both of [...]

Last weekend we went to the Outer Banks for a few days. While we didn’t visit any lighthouses this time, it reminded me of one of the earliest posts (#2) on MB3 nearly two years ago. I think I’ve learned my lesson and haven’t tried lighthouses since! Enjoy. *** The really tough parts of being a dad often [...]

Last weekend we went to the beach. Just for a couple of days. Virginia Beach. Because we live in Virginia now of course. Stayed at the Hilton Garden Inn on points that had accumulated from one too many full tanks of nearly four-dollar-a-gallon gas, weekly grocery store trips for an ever-growing family and a bounty from Costco [...]

There is a moment, a few moments actually, when my computer does something magical. It’s while my laptop boots up, after I type my password in. Right about the time when I start to get annoyed at how long it’s taking, wondering if anything is really going on inside that plastic box. And then, suddenly, [...]
