Happy Birthday Ryan

Hi everyone-

Ryan is now three! What a good day we had today celebrating Ryan's 3rd birthday. We all went out to deliver our diapers, formula, and wipes to Loaves and Fishes food pantry. They had an immediate need for a family I was told. Thank you Ryan.

We then traveled to Target to get some books that would be age appropriate for Ryan, some bubbles and a new bear. The books are added to the collection at home for the family to read; the bubbles are left at the cemetery as is the bear. We all went to the cemetery after nap. Replaced his bear, played with the bubbles and read the stories.

The hardest part was finding some private time with Ryan -- the girls are still young to totally understand what is up with Ryan. I'm sure that next year or over the course of this year they will start to understand that Ryan is in heaven and we goto the cemetery to be "closer" to him.

Onto Kimbles for the sundae's -- a local ice cream farm that I'm sure he would have fun with.

All in all a great day.

Miss you son.

Sping is coming

Hi everyone-

Finally no snow in the yard. Now lets see if we can keep it that way. Our first snow storm was in November and the snow has finally melted. Onto mud season.

Have fun,

Green Lent

Hi everyone-

My wife and I attend All Saints Episcopal church in Chelmsford, MA. This year we have had a tough time actually attending Sunday services due because our twins are at the age where sitting still is impossible. Enough about that more about lent -- anyway usually every year we "give something up" to remind us of the sacrifices that Jesus did during his walk on this earth. Well this article from the Boston Globe give new meaning to "giving something up" for lent.

Carbon.

Interesting article and I think it should be something that everyone does this year. Could you imagine it if 10% of the worlds Christian community which observes lent would do this?

Have fun...

"Be Prepared"

Hi everyone-

As an eagle scout -- I have always made sure that I was prepared - prepared in life. Things kinda come your way when you least expect it sometimes. So here is a web site which I have found to be a good starting point for "Being Prepared".



Not that I have bought into everything they offer -- it is just another good source for ideas.

Have fun....

Getting ready for the Nor'easter

Hi everyone-

Well at least with this storm it won't take me 2.5 hours to get home -- and only 30 miles from work. Granted that commute isn't very long considering once while I lived in DC it took 4 hours to get home. But still it took a very long time.

So with the storm it should be very interesting. They are only calling for 4-8 inches of snow with a change over to rain sometime tomorrow around noon. Yuck. If it is going to snow it should be all snow...

Have fun

Okay so now I am an emotional reck

If only Aline and I had known about this -- we have some wonderful pictures but more would have been nice.

Finding this I decided to start a Loss Information Archive area on the page. I will be adding more as I find the time to put some in.

Miss you Ryan.

Shake, Rattle, and Role

Hi all-

Well it wasn't much of a shake, or a rattle or a role, but we did have a magnitude 2.5 earthquake at the house last night. Actually, this is the closest I have ever been to an earthquake epicenter.

No damage.

Check it out.
