Toddlers can’t always pronounce words that they use frequently, so they go with nicknames instead. In our house, “Grandma” has always been “Ooma”, at least until they can say the right word. Aiden said “Ooma” for the longest time, and now Gavin calls her “Ooma” as well. ...

Fall Ball season has drawn to a close. I can’t say that I’m sorry to see it go. Aiden is happy with playing t-ball, but this wasn’t exactly t-ball. The older Rookie-level kids play an infield game while the smaller T-Ball players languish in the outfield, which highlights the difference in skill level between...

The boys went back to pre-school today. Although Gavin went to a few sessions with Aiden last year, this will be his first whole semester in preschool. He’s very excited.

But there was a backup plan, which would...

Although our trip to the Chicago Comic Con was not terribly great, there was one really neat thing that happened to us. We got to meet Peter Mayhew, the 7’3″ actor who played Chewbacca in the Star Wars movies, while he was there signing autographs. I know that he does the convention circuit now, selling his books and...

Aiden has completed his first season of t-ball. I have to admit that I didn’t think that it would be much fun. I don’t know anything about baseball and I didn’t dig the thought of sitting on the bleachers for hours, waiting for a game to end. I was completely disillusioned. T-ball is like baby steps for...
