Halloween 2009 – Part I
by Mike on Oct.27, 2009, under General
This year, like last, the kids and I had a great time carving pumpkins for Halloween. I don’t really understand why Johanna doesn’t like making big messes with pumpkin innards – I mean heck, how can the idea of plunging a knife into an innocent gourd NOT excite the heck out of you?

The world we live in
by johanna on Sep.28, 2009, under General
It has been a while since I have updated on the blog, I will try to do better:)
A few weeks ago My nephew Andrew was confronted by two men in a car. They asked him and his friend if they wanted some candy. Andrew said no and tried to walk away but one of the men grabbed him by the arm. His friend then told the man to let Andrew go and started to make a scene. The man let Andrew go and took off in his car. Andrew and his friend immediately went to get their parents, the police were called, and the whole neighborhood was out looking for the car. Luckily for our family this did not end a different way.
The next Family home evening we had we did role playing with the kids. Mike pretended he was a stranger and we let them practice what to do if a stranger ever tried to talk to or take one of them. This is the second time We have done this and Aiden is getting better at recognizing situations. I encourage everyone to role play with their kids. They will know better what to do if the situation ever happens to them.

Getting Caught-Up with Summer Pictures

We’re sure many of you are wondering why there are so few posts coming in here as of late. We may refer to it as the ‘Facebook effect’ – since the vast majority of our friends are on Facebook, a lot of the smaller updates go there, and the blog goes without updating. But every once in a while, we will get on here and post photos – because a lot of our extended family doesn’t do the whole Facebook thing, but they will visit the family website to see pictures of the kids. Hence today’s blog post. (continue reading…)

If Johanna hasn’t said anything by now…
by Mike on Aug.15, 2009, under General
A week or two ago, Johanna entered her Peach Pie into the County Fair, and won “Judge’s Choice” with it! She was so excited, and wanted me to upload the photos so that she could show everyone…
Well, now the time has passed by, and she still hasn’t said a thing…so I am posting the pictures myself. If enough of you comment, maybe she will tell the whole story on here. I wasn’t there, so I don’t have all the details. But I do have the delicious photos!

Glen’s First Taste of Cake
by Mike on Aug.07, 2009, under General
We took these pictures a week or so ago, when it was my Birthday. Johanna brought home some cake from our dinner at Rodizio, and we decided to share with Glen. This is what Kodak was made for…though, our camera is Fujifilm…
