This is it, surgery week. Each of Ethan’s surgeries has come with its challenges. This time it is that he has to fast for 4 days. He can have liquids, but I cannot imagine that making much of a difference.
Over the weekend, we took him to Hershey Park. Today Jenn is taking him to our [...]

We got a dog. Jenn finally broke and let me get one. It took 14 years, but I prevailed. But don’t let her kid you, she loves him too.
His name is Friday, even though we got him on Saturday. It was Ethan’s idea and we liked it much more than his other suggestion which was [...]

I could never answer the question: What do you want to be when you grow up?
I had two reoccurring nightmares as a child.
Jesus is tied to the railroad tracks and I am trying to untie him before the train rolls over him.
Satan is in the sewer drain and drags me by the ankles to hell.

Ethan has been a bit of a grump since the day after Christmas when he discovered that his Nintendo DS was lost. The whole family scoured the house looking for the “pacifier.” No luck. He had to go to California for a week and quit video games cold turkey.
Then today, he was looking for something [...]

Today has been all about meetings, one right after another. I am sitting at my desk for the first time today. I need to think about something other than work. So I blog.
We just got a surgery date for Ethan. He is having a Malone procedure. Unlike all of his previous surgeries, [...]

Yesterday. Woof!
Yesterday was a mess. It started at about 12:45am. Ethan had a bad asthma attack. He came into our room and was barking. I went to get his nebulizer, but he did not sound too bad. By the time I got back to our room, Ethan was having a full on panic attack [...]

Jenn and I went on a date Saturday night. We saw the latest James Bond movie (I think it is titled James and the Giant Peach). I am still not exactly sure what I saw. There was a story; I just could not follow it because my eyes were bugging out of my head with all the [...]

It is freezing outside, but I have no need to leave the house. The fireplace is going. We just lit the advent wreath. My little family is enjoying our little secure nook on the planet. Time to settle down with a good book.

Yule love this letter
Greetings friends, neighbors and genetically similar individuals! It has been several years since our last Christmas letter, so we figured it was time. As of the writing of this letter, Jenn, Ethan and Ben are still sucking precious oxygen out of the atmosphere.
Well it is 2008 and we still do not [...]

Ethan asked Jenn, “Is President Obama going to open a Mario store in Broadlands?” Somewhat baffeled, Jenn asked him to clarify.
“Well he said he was going to create 5 million jobs and we need a Mario store.”
