Last night while Josh and I were mellowing between the time when Caleb headed to bed and the time when Josh had to hit the sack, he told me he thought he would become a philoposer. I asked him what that was. He said "you know, Dad, in ancient Greece...
After spending some time with both sets of families we are back home and unpacked and settled back in. It will still be rude awakening tomorrow heading back the office for me and to school for the boy, but I am quite sure we'll survive. The one hiccup...
...and to all a good night! (The kids aren't yet nestled, but, soon, soon...)
Yes, it has been a bit quiet around chrisoverbeek.com. I just renewed the domain for a couple of years, though, so for the time being, we're going to be around. Things have been pretty busy for me and the family. I have been putting in a few extry...
Joshua wrote me an inspiring note on my lunch bag today. Note the "Go Dad Go" in green at the bottom. Just makes you want to go out and conquer the world. If you don't have kids, this is a reference to the the NickJrTV show Diego , which...
I have been delinquent in posting again. The post-holiday blahs are here and I am in full-on SAD mode . I love the snow, but I miss the sunshine. The last two weeks I have been stressed, cranky, and on a couple of occasions just plain depressed. I find...
After a nice extended break to visit family and celebrate the holidays, we're back. We did our usual whirlwind tour of the state of Michigan -- as usual, it seems like the time went too fast. The kids seemed to all really enjoy the whole season and...
The family spent the weekend in GR to see and fawn over the newest member of the extended family -- SuperDave and his wife have welcomed their first son into the world. Everyone is healthy and doing well, and the little fella seemed to get along with...
Well, having had the last week and a half off work, today I am dealing with the reality that I have to return to the grind tomorrow. I spent a few days in the UP with Matt hunting at the Sand Ridge deer camp (one 6-point taken, no one else saw anything...
I couldn't think of a good post title, so I borrowed one from Bob Marley. A few notes of recent activity... Last week, while Jodi and the kids were in Traverse City, I ran coax and telephone wires to our master bedroom so that we could move the baby...
Jodi and the kids are hanging with Grandma Jo and Grandpa Jerry, so I am flying solo. Last night was seriously depressing. The house was so empty without Dusty there to keep me company. I kept listening for a child waking and wanting something, or the...
You're already missed, puppy dog...
Well, with Joshua's week of evening classes done, now all of the kids are getting sick. As such, we've kept a pretty low profile all weekend. I brined and smoked a chicken yesterday, which turned out pretty good (if I say so myself!), but other...
The little guy is in the middle of 3 days of birthday joy. Yesterday he got some gifts from his godfather, today he got stuff from Grandma Jo and Grandpa Jerry, and tomorrow he gets to have a little celebration with his friends from playgroup. What a...
After a somewhat long week at work last week (moreso because of content than hours, honestly), I got home somewhat late on Friday. I was able to relax and read (the new Harry Potter) for a bit, and tuckered out somewhat early for me. Saturday, Jodi took...
