Teaching Kids to Give: Simple as a Box of Cereal
I’ve been trying to teach Jude different ways to give and that the holidays are about more than receiving presents. Last week we bought a gift for our the angel tree as part of the Teaching Kids to Give series and this week we mailed a post card to the USO through the Cheerios Cheer…
First Date Anniversary Date
Every year on the day after Thanksgiving Joe and I celebrate our First Date by going to the same restaurant we went on our first date. We reminisce, laugh and talk about how far we’ve come. I think I like First Date Anniversary more than Thanksgiving. The First Date In 2005 on the day…

YO GABBA GABBA LIVE
Tuesday night we took Jude to see Yo Gabba Gabba Live. We took him to see Yo Gabba Gabba Live last year so I figured he would understand where he was going. On the way there I told him we were going to see Yo Gabba Gabba Live however, he kept assuming we were just…
A Rainy Halloween
It rained last night. Pretty much from the beginning till the end of acceptable Trick-or-Treat times. It was sad. We were kind of bummed. But we decided to take Jude out for just a bit because he has been waiting all month to go Trick-or-Treating. We hoped that if we waited a bit the rain…
