So as our usual, Laura and I are tuned into American Idol. Last night, Silas decided to steal the show. So Laura, ever quick with her cell phone’s video capabilities, recorded Silas. Now Silas has been watching a lot of The Three Tenors of late, and might explain some of...
With a little help from Laura, Silas names some of the people he loves…
After days and days of so many feet of snow outside, and little melting, you have to just get out anyway. Saturday was one of those days, and we decided to take Silas to the park. There had been a few warmish days, however it was a tad disheartening to...

A few times in the past I have given to Miquel as his Valentine’s present, a visit to the auto show in Baltimore’s Convention Center. In the years past, it has been overwhelmingly amazing and it was almost too much show to see in one visit. This year, I was...

Well in the midst of blizzard conditions here in Maryland, we are looking to break records for snow. Some images so far:
COME WITH ME The Lord saw you getting tired And a cure was not to be, So He put his arms aroud you And whispered, “Come with me.” With tearful eyes, we watched you suffer And saw you fade away, Although we loved you dearly, We could not make you...
When Petra lived with us, she taught me the most fun dice game. We would have so much fun, it’s hard to believe that 6 dice and a paper keeping score could be so entertaining. Today online, through Good Experience, I found a very close relative to the dice game...
