“Mom, I wanted to see how far it would boomerang,” he said after my wife heard the ominous snap from behind the minivan.
It’s all fun and games until the 5yo scratches his older brother’s kindle screen on the backyard concrete. 🤙🏽
We caught the last day of spring training with two of my brothers who were in town.
Good times all around. ⚾️

📽 About to start Empire Strikes Back with the kids. They don’t know Darth Vader is Luke’s dad. Queue the 🤯🤯🤯 ‘cause it’s coming.
Two sick little boys: recovering post-tonsillectomy and ear infection, respectively. Literal and figurative middle of the night. YOLO, folks. If you’re wondering how to YOLO, this is how it’s done. 🤙🏽
5yo had a tonsillectomy this morning. Already finished; waiting for the nurses to bring me back to post-op. Im proud of the kiddo’s bravery even when he got nervous. Next on today’s agenda: ice cream.
One upshot of the younger brother discovering where mom hid the oldest’s Christmas presents this morning is the beautiful strumming on the ukulele while I drank my coffee and got ready for the day.

Buckeyes lost, but we had a good time watching the game with the kids. How Firm Thy Friendship.
Oh, hello, Strep and Hand Foot and Mouth, so nice to see you both again. Since you were just here a few weeks ago, we thought it would be a while before you came back. Make yourself comfortable (we know you always do).
It’s all fun and games until the kids jump into the trunk of the minivan and squash the pumpkin pie.
Biting your younger brother is, I must admit, one of the more novel applications of the “it was accident defense.”
The big kid called to remind me that I must leave work early today so we can hang out longer because I was gone all week. He’s a persuasive litigator.
Sometimes weekends are an echo of the weekdays. Pre-dawn and the kids are up. Thankfully, there’s always coffee. ☕️
Deep admiration for my wife who is at her third pediatric appointment this week (twice alone) to test the kiddos for strep. (A second positive test for a kiddo, that’s three counting her last weekend.)
First the wife, now one of the kids is down with strep. If another one goes down, I might be eligible for my medical license.
And we’re off marauding for candy. 📷
Let’s just say the baby is uninterested in the games her brothers seem obsessed with.
Last weekend we had pozole at the church festival. 📷
My kid loves dramatic effect.
But… he approves.
We had an eventful weekend. 📷
