Ready? Go! Throw
In this case the twin sister taketh and the twin sister giveth back, well sort of. Recently a series of interactions appear to have taken the form of a routine between the twins. This morning…
Sunny, snow, rain, sleet shower
All at once the snow starting falling. Sleet was bouncing off of the side of the house. We could see it and hear it. Drops of rain were mixed in. Then the sun poked through,…
Twin Adventures – Dancing and Somersaults
This is my first attempt at adding video to a post. We have a very small, inexpensive video camera that’s about the size of the wallet I used to carry. Small. It does take video…
Scared of a cat
I took this quick picture of a pair of white-tailed deer that suddenly appeared on the little hill next to our house. I took this picture through the window with my smaller lens on the…
I’m working
Just around noon time today I started getting the twins ready for nap time. We refer to it as “Play Pen Time.” I usually ask them what time it is and they answer with “Play…
Freedom of the Truth
I know we talked, I remember our conversation. I was certain of our focus, our cerebral participation. The truths we discussed didn’t vanish when the silence began. But rather they need to be with us,…
Birds scatter
This morning I came downstairs with the twins at around 7:45 am. This morning the weather is a little bit more like what we’d expect to see in NH during March. It was 40 degrees…
Silently pondered
Ya, we know. Everyone within earshot knows. You have a thought that is remotely righteous and in your infinite lack of wisdom you have brought it upon yourself to speak your mind. Of course you…
Tribute to Tyler Walsh
I was in the car, driving alone, down my driveway when I received a text message from a long time friend of mine asking if I knew Tyler Walsh. I have coached baseball for many…
No action
Have you ever been so worked up, so stressed out, that you just felt you had to run? Run in any direction at all. I don’t care where I end up because I can’t see…
Twin Adventures – The sprinkler, in March?
Sebastian gets home from school to find everyone outside already. We had been outside for about two minutes. Obviously the twins were already thirsty. We have no lawn at this point. The twins run better…
Good Bye Smile
Tonight I said good-bye to my oldest son Stephen. Tomorrow he leaves for Buenos Aires, Argentina, where he will be until June 4th. He’s doing his spring term at Dartmouth down in Argentina. He will…
Another season ends
Another season ends. Over the weekend my eleven year old sons’ hockey season ended. Hockey started with off ice training back on August 1st, 2011. That’s 222 days of hockey season according to my calculations.…
Twin Adventures – Some fresh air
Theodore is sick. Teeth are coming in. Nose is running. His ears hurt. Drooling like a large hungry dog. He has a little sore on his chin from the teething. He has a congested cough.…
Thank you Lord
Thank you Lord for supplying strength. Thank you Lord for allowing calm and peace. Thank you Lord for granting patience. Thank you Lord for imposing humility as to step back and receive patience. Thank you…
Not alone
No matter the time. No matter the place. No matter the circumstance. You are not alone. From the human, earthly approach, someone, somewhere, has probably been there before. Or at least in a situation requiring…
