It seems Glen won’t be outdone, and is determined to learn to walk just like his older cousin Simon! Here is the footage!
It has been a fun new stage! Enjoy.

Dodge Family News
by Mike on Nov.08, 2009, under General
Yesterday, we found a toy microphone while cleaning the house…and it led to a fun activity idea. I grabbed the camera, we set up a table and papers, and in no time we were filming “The Dodge Family News!” I doubt this will become a regular broadcast or anything, but the kids sure enjoyed it. A lot of fun. Here’s the low-quality version for online viewing pleasure.

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

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…)
