Willik is 8

As of Sunday, our first born, Willik, is 8.  Happy birthday Willik!!

I can’t believe how big he’s getting.

He’s had a great year, and has transitioned very well.  He enjoys the new house, especially the backyard, and will soon be enjoying the much desired tree house, as Fab is getting read to build it.

He has made [...]

a broken pinky

The news around our house is that Willik now has a broken pinky.

Specifically, he has a buckle fracture on his left little finger, in the middle phalanx.

Aren’t you glad to be able to learn about anatomy through my son’s tragedy?

Anyway, he broke it while playing with his uncle, down in Maryland.  Tossing a football around, [...]

climbing the walls

Our boys have been climbing the walls.

I mean, literally…. watch this video…

That’s the hardest thing about the summer. The boys just have energy galore. They have no school. So I have them all day, and I’m trying to come up with a variety of activities.

We’ve gone out everyday. Trips ranging from [...]

mother’s day poem and other goodies

Mother’s Day is a wonderful day, and I’m glad Anna Jarvis wanted to honor her mom. That’s what kids should do. Honoring and respecting everyone is not just a nice thing, it is what makes or breaks any relationship.

So, mother’s day with young kids can feel at times, like more of a battle [...]

Proud moments – part 1

I don’t know how much I’ve talked about this before on the blog, but I thought I should tell you about how incredibly generous Willik is.
Probably about 8 months ago, he decided that he wanted to give money to World Vision, because he heard or read about kids starving somewhere, and he was moved and [...]

Track meet at 6

When I was 6, I guess I was learning to read and write, and playing with friends from church. Mostly good, clean fun, but uneventful.
Willik, on the other had, has been in a free summer program, learning all about the sports of track & field.
Cityparks Foundation is a nonprofit organization that promotes events in [...]

he’s a big boy now!!!

A few weeks ago, Willik showed signs of his first loose tooth.
I was kinda shocked by it, because I thought it didn’t start til 6 or 7. I guess I’ve just seen another boy from church who is 7 with a few windows, and I figured that was the beginning. Willik is 5 [...]

a sensitive boy!

I think it’s an important quality to have. Being sensitive, that is. I treasure that in Fabio. I believe when men are senstive they have better relationships with the women in their lives. But especially compassion. Having compassion is huge. It’s what Jesus was like, and it’s what is [...]

Kindergarten butterflies

The day started with a very tired Willik, having arrived from Florida around 10:30, but going to bed around midnight, it wasn’t the ideal restful night before the big day, but… such is life.
Since Fabio wasn’t working today, Phoenix got to stay with dad, while Willik and I made our way to his new school.
We [...]
