You're right Jolie it's been a while.

And it's been a while since you said it's been a while. So here is a new post of the kids.

The italians went down 2-0 as I took this picture of Sadie...Oh-no!

video is from Jennifer's camera...blow on her toes and she giggles...consider it a test to see if video from her camera is postable on blogger.

Kenneth J. Kessler

I am posting this in the hopes that somehow, someway it will do some good for Ken's family.

On Sunday Jan. 27th, a former co-worker and friend, Ken Kessler died very suddenly at his home in Chillicothe, Ohio. Ken leaves behind a wife (Chrissy) and two daughter's (Hanna and Margaret).

Ken was a really terrific person and even though I haven't seen him in years, I was very saddened by his death.

Please go here and read about him and if possible give to the memorial fund for his daughters (The Kenneth J. Kessler Memorial Fund, Ross County Banking Center, 222 E. Main St., Chillicothe, OH 45601)

Spencer and Sadie



Even though Futureboy turned out to be a girl, Spencer is not confused and just loves to hold his little sister.

She's a beauty and a pretty good baby! (so far)

If Sadie had turned out to be a boy, the name (according to me) would have been Styles... middle name wasn't worked out... something with three syllables. We liked Sadie Joesphine from early on, so that fell nicely into place.

Potty Training!

Spencer has been trying to use the potty at daycare and today we pulled out Spencer's potty and were immediately rewarded with our first pee in the toilet!




Don't worry...we will just tell you when we have the first poop.

A quick post before bed...

A day spent playing after a really cool visit to the Children's Museum - which I forgot to bring my camera to.

Spencer has many playmates....here is a future one!



My friends Nat and Kirsti had this little guy yesterday (March 31st)

He goes on the list with all the other babies that have been sprouting up around us....

Eleanor, Chloe, Nate, Henry, Jason, another friend we have is about to have twins!

Last but not least, my best friend Ken and his wife Kristen are about to have a baby boy of their own! Check out their web chronic(what)cles of little Blaze HERE

You know they're not babies anymore when...


They will hang on to a zipline until they smack into a wall pad and fall four feet to a floor pad and think it is the greatest thing in the world. It is not so much that they are willing to do it, but if you are willing to let them try...

First episode of Goodnight FutureBoy is up now!

Goodnight FutureBoy combines three recent things in my life.
1. I've just watched "Back to the Future" two nights in a row while I couldn't sleep.

2. My friend Matt just suggested I write blog comments here from Spencer's point of view. This idea really entertained me, but to start doing this here, after over a year of not doing, didn't seem right.

And most of all...

3. We really need to get Spencer back to sleeping without mommy or daddy next to him.

So Goodnight FutureBoy! will combine all three of those things in a fictional story that uses alot of the real life things that Spencer does. You can hopefully see where I try to fit in his speaking or physical development into the story so you can get an idea where he is in those regards even if you think the story is dumb. And it is pretty dumb. I did think of it at like 3am while I was staring at the little guy in the glow of a TV screen and Doctor Emmit Brown said the now famous phrase "Goodnight FutureBoy!" There is a mystery to it (who is futureboy) and there is an answer. I'm not making the plot up as I go (this isn't Lost or The X-Files). I'll let everyone in on the secret in the near future. You can probably figure it out, i don't mind. I do need to get him sleeping properly ya' know.
