Michael: Dude. Hands on your stuff again, huh?
Keeghan: Yeah.
Daddy: Dude. DUDE! I can see we’re going to have trouble with you.
Seven Years
And the white witch cast a beautiful spell, so the people thrived and prospered these seven years.
Happy Anniversary, baby. It’s all still too good to be true.

Wakey, Wakey!
Michael heard squeaking behind the shelves on the back porch and concluded we had squirrels getting in somehow. So, he pulled the shelves out, and promptly came face to face with a mother raccoon and her two babies.
He looked at her. She looked at him. There was profanity. Doors were slammed. And then I ran out the front door to go around the house and observe from the yard. When I got there, she was on her hind legs with one of the kits in her mouth. She spared me just enough of a backward glance for me to see that, then scrambled up into the attic.
I took advantage if her absence to sneak a peek at her other baby. This is as close as I ever want to get to a wild mama and her babies. His eyes aren’t open yet. I give it about 20 minutes before Ian draws the obvious parallel and names these guys Mommy Raccoon, Ian Raccoon, and Keeghan Raccoon.
Typical UU Sunday morning
Michael: come on, Ian. Time to go to church and talk about JEEsus.
Ian: NO DADDY. I ALREADY KNOW ALL ABOUT JEE-SUS.
Michael: (surprised) really? What do you know?
Ian: I forget.
Morning Dudes
This is how we celebrate Easter.

This one only wants to eat things he can bite now. He’s getting pretty good, too. Hide your crackers. They aren’t safe.
Total miles today. 4.3!
Just brushing up on the SOP
Just hanging out, studying his PS Magazines. I think we have found out how to make sure Maintenance reads these… Send them to the kids.

Michael: Ian, nice job cleaning up your room. Daddy is pleased. And Mommy is…
Ian: PRETTIER!
The greatest feeling
Thousands of moms didn’t wake up to this today- the sight of their whole family, happy and healthy together. While I snapped this, a mom near you was packing a bag for a day at the NICU, where she will watch her baby fight- hard- for what we take for granted. Doesn’t every baby deserve to come home healthy? Doesn’t every little brother deserve to frolic with His Loud Things?
