Cameron has a fascination with plugging cords into sockets. He does it with the vacuum cleaner, night lights, the xbox, etc. Yesterday, he got ahold of my laptop power supply. I was in the basement and heard him plugging something into the wall. So I go into the family room to [...]

Saturday, Andrew and I got into a disagreement…
Me: Andrew, whose house is this?
Andrew:It’s George Shrinks’ House.
Me: Where is our house?
Andrew:It’s far away from here.
From the first day he saw the house, he has said this is George Shrink’s house. We can’t convince him otherwise.

A couple of things the boys have said lately:
Andrew (2 yrs): Took Cameron and him to the 8th floor breakroom to look out the window. As he approached the [...]

I was supposed to work this weekend. I brought Andrew and Cameron to work with me on Saturday. We left around 10. Nothing was really happening where they would have needed me. Since I thought I was going to be working, I didn’t do anything on the basement….well, I cleaned up the [...]

After reading this article about weblogs, I am kind of torn on the issue of rss. I find that it is extremely useful. I don’t have to go surfing the web to read the latest news from the sites I like. I can go one place and read it all. But [...]

Adrienne has taken over the duty of correcting my spelling and grammar. She kept complaining about it and I kept not doing much to fix it (even though I really should). So she “asked” to take care of it. Thank you for being so kind.
Last night was another long night. None [...]
