Josiah enjoying some "finger" paint time. Yeah, using all his fingers.
Today’s wordless Wednesday is Summer-time finger painting. I would show you what he was making but that is a topic for an up coming post. Stay tuned!
Tweet Josiah can be silly. But at 11pm? No, it made sense to him. I play the saxophone in our Church’s praise band a few weeks out of the month. Tonight’s band practice was a little later than normal, but that was okay. I had everything worked out. I would get home around 9:30pm sit down at the computer and write out a post and go to bed. Lets just say it didn’t work that way. I got home around 9:45pm (not bad) just to discover the wood-burner (we heat our house and water with wood) had gone out. Continue reading It Made Sense to Him 
Tweet Young tadpoles in a driveway puddle. That frog will not get the parent of the year award. While mowing the lawn over the weekend I made a wonderful discovery. I noticed the grass clipping that were being thrown into our driveway pool (a forever puddle at the bend of our drive) seemed to make a larger disturbance than usual. Being the inquisitive type, I shut the blades off and drove over to see what was going on. You will never guess what I found… Okay, you probably already know. One of our neighborhood froggies, as our kids like Continue reading Unexpected Summer Guests 
Tweet Video is a great way to capture those special times. It can be helpful in those stressful times. Have you ever had one of those days when you needed a reminder of why you had kids? It sounds bad to say it, but it happens. Parenting is hard, tiring, unforgiving and often unappreciated work. If anyone tells you different ask them what they are selling! I was reminded of this yesterday while reading Allison’s blog, “O My Family”. She recently put up a post about grieving motherhood as she thought it would be. It is really quite insightful Continue reading So, Why Did I Do This Again? 
Tweet Babysitters that are willing to engage the kids are rare. Be grateful if you have one. (Image: Jaimie Duplass) Over the past two years my wife and I have tried to keep regular dates. It is hard to do and even more so with our adoption currently underway. I still feel it is important for Kim and I to have time to decompress from a full week or two with the kids. To this end, we try to get out every few weeks even if it is just to relax at Barns&Noble with a cookie. This past weekend Continue reading They Are In Good Hands 
Tweet Image By: Dean Studios Welcome to RandomActsOfParenting. I have spent quite a while thinking of what to post for my inaugural post. My mind raced between some of my favorite resources for parents, several of which have greatly improved my life, and the latest humorous escapade tackled by my oldest. After a long thought, okay, several long thoughts, I decided a quick introduction was in order first. Sure, there is an about page here on the blog, but seriously, who actually reads those. An introduction allows me to focus in on the purpose of this blog and Continue reading A Quick Introduction |
