It rained today and although Jamie and me got to walk Billy to Starbies for a Sunday morning walk we only got a little wet. When we got back I went to work on my shed to see if I could get the two brackets made that will hold up the gable overhang at the […]
With kids about old enough to be left alone with a set of simple instructions, don’t answer the door, no cooking and no candles. The latter aimed at Reagan who has a liking for bats with candles copying her Momma, but we ha e had to nip in the bud because it’s dangerous! So with […]
I wasn’t expecting “How big do penis’s grow?” on the school run but Lincoln surprised me this morning with the first “Talk” He began by telling me about the lesson he had yesterday about puberty and how he was praised along with Archie and a couple of other boys for taking the lesson seriously from […]
After a good night’s sleep I rolled over and hugged my wife and we slept a little bit more, when we got up it was laugh starting our days as she made sure Lincoln was OK and ready for school before getting herself ready to go to work in her office in the garden. She […]

Another hot day today began with a trip to Pickmere where Mommy went free swimming in the Lake while Lincoln and me played football on the grass. Billy was happy just pottering around while we did our thing, occasionally needing to be called back if he wandered to far or another dog took his interest. […]
I told Reagan how proud I was when the school contacted us today to say she had been awarded a certificate of excellence and achieved a third gold badge and “glittery” green star! I explained to her that this certificate shows that you are good and try hard all the time, any body can be […]
