Bring on the Birthdays
My birthday begins the birthday train at our house. After my 30th on Sept. 8th, Danny turned six on September 16th. Then Jake turned eight on October 16th. Both boys woke up to a house full of decorations, donuts for breakfast, and a day where they could play computer/video games as much as they want…

Talented Kids
I now understand what it feels like to have a child in a sport/activity that you are just as vested in as they are. I think I was just as excited (if not more so) than Danny, when he received this. And just as nervous when he tested it for it. Introducing Daniel-san – YELLOW…

Daniel-San
For some reason, five year olds beating each other up is really cute when they are wearing karate uniforms. Danny is so in love with this. He can’t wait for every Tuesday night to roll around. I’m wondering if we might be in this for the long haul. All he can talk about is getting…

Like Father, Like Son
Danny has a talent. He’s our little gas man. I like to call him Sir Toots-a-Lot. Tonight after letting one rip, he said to me excitedly, “Oh Mom! That’s my special tooting power!” I said, wow you have a special tooting power? And he answered, “Yeah, and I have a charger that I plug into…

Not Wanted
Jake and Danny were recently invited to a birthday party at Chuck E Cheese. The night before the party Danny tactfully explained to me in his best three year old enunciation: Mom, you know how some Mommy’s bring us, then leave, and then they come back later to get kids when it’s over….? Me: (dumbfounded)…

Auto-tune this Title
One day I aspire to write software as cool as autotune. An engineer who originally created software used to statistically analyze geographical features for oil/gas exploration, realized that similar algorithms could be used to process audio tracks and make even limited singers hit the correct notes. Other entertainers (rappers) playing with the software found that…

Team Spirit
We just got back into town this morning, and YIKES! I’m behind in the blogging world! I’ve been meaning to do a post about Danny’s little Jr. Sports class he just “graduated” from about 2 weeks ago. Sorry it’s kind of late – I’ll do a Thanksgiving vacation post next… Thanks to everyone for their…

Big Adventures for a Big Kid
Danny is finally 3! It seems like he’s been 2 forever. And no one ever believed his age. On Jake’s first day of school three different people thought Danny was also starting kindergarten. This is how it would go – I’d say “No, he’s only 2.” “Two?? Seriously? Whoa… big kid.” Or something like that.…

Boys, Toys, and Brotherly Love
We’ve all been enjoying a few new toys around here. Mom finally got a new laptop. Until now – I’d been using the old desktop Brent built in college. Which makes the computer about 8 years old – kind of a dinosaur nowadays. But man – I never minded, because the thing ran like a…

WHAT?!
Yesterday Jake and Danny were sitting at the counter having an after-school snack. They were being silly and teasing each other. This is how their conversation went: DANNY: You’re crazy, Jake. JAKE: No you’re crazy, Danny… DANNY: Your MOM is crazy! Yes everyone – my 2 year old just threw down the ever-effective and always…
