David and I went to an indoor fireworks store today. It was pretty big. Dave got to walk around with a basket and tell the people what he wanted and he was smiling the entire time. I did not know the difference between the types of explosives other than what David told me, so I [...]
To our moms! We’ll be calling you today, you can count on it.

Easter weekend is always when my little brother comes to visit for the weekend. His first Easter with us was in Chicago. That was a blast. I don’t think we will be able to top that one… but we tried:
We spent last night with the Millers for
from ’02
was actually the winning pumkin of the Bible study group that year. David (who carved the trombone pumkin to the left) won this year with his coca-cola themed pumpkin. You see, every year we get together at the Moulton’s house in late October and carve trivial themes (although this one was not [...]

I don’t know if David minds, but I thought this picture of him and Tait, our nephew, was just too cute to pass up. Tait was not too interested in the story. As soon as I managed to get the snapshot, he was off David’s lap and into his mom’s asking for her to read [...]
Well, the tree is up.
The cats may die, but it is officially up. I have chicken-wired the bottom level of branches (underneath, to prevent their upward progress) but I do not know if that is enough to keep them off of it. The 7.5 foot tree is in a location where, if it falls, [...]
I will be taking a break from posting for a little while to enjoy the holiday. Don’t worry, I’ll take notes and have a story or two for when I feel like getting back online.
For everyone reading this, please be safe this holiday and eats lots of food!
