Quotables: Little Dude and The Friend of Harry Potter
Another installment of the ongoing adventures in the lexicon wonderland of Little Dude Vinton.
So here’s a top-to-bottom high five for Little Dude’s Kindergarten teacher who–I think– while we work on manners at home, is also reenforcing them at school. I say that only because the other night, after Little Dude …

So, You Wanna Be A Tough Guy, Huh?
I don’t know if you heard, but we went to Moab recently. After a detour that never should have happened, we decided to make the best of it and hit up a pretty cool place that I can’t remember the name of now. Needless to say, it had lots of cliffs and sheer drops and …

Quotables: Little Dude and The Leg Guns
Unfortunately for our kids, Vintonville is kind of slim on the sweet treats and desserts. And while that’s good for Mama and Papa’s physique, it’s not good for the sweet tooth. Still, Lady-Friend and I usually whip up a few treats for the kids and enjoy a protein shake/bars for our “treat”. When …

Here’s a couple snaps Lady-Friend caught during some playtime this afternoon. Sis is looking old.
