Birthday Happiness For Michael

Jun 03, 09 Birthday Happiness For Michael

Posted by Michael in Special Events

I turned 36 years old on Tuesday, June 2nd.  Now before you start with your condolences, know that I’m perfectly happy with getting older.  I was in a much better place at 26 than I was at 16, and I’m in a much better place now at 36 than I was at 26.  That said, I’m looking forward to seeing 46.  Time is my...

Chrissy And I Got iPhones!

Jan 24, 09 Chrissy And I Got iPhones!

Posted by Michael in Other Things

Back in November, I was trying to choose an MP3 player for Chrissy’s birthday, so I suggested an iPod Touch to her.  She didn’t know what it was, so I told her that an iPod Touch was basically an iPhone without the phone bits.  She didn’t want anything with that much functionality, she just wanted something to...

I Hit The Transformers Jackpot At Target

Jan 22, 09 I Hit The Transformers Jackpot At Target

Posted by Michael in Transformers

I do a lot of Transformers shopping at Target.  There’s one right around the corner from my house, so it’s easier to get to than the nearest Wal-Mart, and they usually keep a good stock of figures.  Transformers sold very well over Christmas, but I was surprised to see that my Target wouldn’t restock afterward. ...

The Most Reluctant Haircut

Jan 20, 09 The Most Reluctant Haircut

Posted by Michael in Other Things

For the last several years, I’ve let my hair grow out over the winter.  I usually get a trim around the holidays, but I’m pretty shaggy by late February or March.  I have a low-maintenance noggin, so I give up shaving and haircuts until the weather warms up.  The extra hair keeps me toasty in the Winter! I went...

We did send out a Christmas letter this year, but I wanted to post it to the web site anyway.  Who knows, maybe somebody who isn’t on our holiday mailing list would like to know what we were up to this year?  If you’re not on our Christmas card list, and would like to be, please let me know!  The “online...

Played Mass Effect Expansion Pack: Bring Down The Sky

Nov 24, 08 Played Mass Effect Expansion Pack: Bring Down The Sky

Posted by Michael in Video Games

“Bring Down The Sky”, the expansion content for Mass Effect, was good for a few hours of new gameplay.  It starts as soon as you get aboard the Normandy and head out into space from the “Citadel”.  Once you investigate a new asteroid on the “Stellar Map”, you are treated to a nice cutscene (one...

Carving Pumpkins For Halloween

Oct 27, 08 Carving Pumpkins For Halloween

Posted by Michael in Special Events

Aiden was too young to carve pumpkins last year, but we thought it would be fun for him this time around.  We bought our pumpkins about a month ago, and they’ve been sitting on our front porch for a while.  This weekend was the last chance to carve them before Halloween, so we got to work on them.  We haven’t carved...

Gavin’s Baptism

Oct 20, 08 Gavin’s Baptism

Posted by Michael in Being A Dad, Special Events

Gavin was baptised on Sunday, October 19th, 2008.  We now have two Catholic boys in the family!  Gavin was very good: he slept through most of his first mass, but woke up just before receiving his baptism.  It was a very nice ceremony.  Aiden was very good throughout the mass as well.  Our family members took lots of photos for...
