My Three Children

Here is my favorite picture of January. Havoc, Sawyer, and Duke hanging out on the floor. Couldn’t miss this photo op!

 

 

Mmm Mmm Eggplant Parmesan

Since I missed the nesting phase of pregnancy due to Sawyer coming early, I think my body is trying to make up for it. Since John has been home all I want to do is cook and bake. I think my food is delicious so I’m going to share it with the [...]

Monster having a little fun

We caught the monster in a good mood – good moods are quickly followed by really bad moods and sleep so it’s all a matter of having a camera in the right place at the right time. I’m home (obviously) and I’m enjoying every minute of it.

A new year

So, we’ve finished all of our work, save for loading our bags and we’re simply waiting to go. The New Year celebrations weren’t too shabby. They had a local band play (and they did a damn good job) followed up by the DJ. We played some cards, drank our customary two beers, and laughed [...]

It’s definitely not the same

I know that Christmas is right around the corner but it sure doesn’t feel like it. Here’s why

1. You can’t see my building from space (it isn’t properly decorated) 2. I haven’t eaten 26,000 extra calories worth of sweets this month 3. Jessica and I aren’t working as a dynamic duo in the [...]

I’ve been busy

I don’t know exactly how long I’ve been gone but it feels like it’s been a while. Sure, I could look at the calendar in the bottom left corner of my screen and do some simple math (my peripheral vision has betrayed me and it’s two weeks) but it makes the first two lines [...]

I promised photos

And I have one – there are thousands of others (literally) but I’m just going to upload just one.

Let’s hope I didn’t forget anything

I arrived home at 1130pm on the 21st of August from a trip to Afghanistan. Jessica woke up at 6am to go to the bathroom and woke me by yelling… “uh John, I think my water broke” and I responded “are you sure you didn’t pee your pants” with her responding “uh, pretty sure [...]
