ElementZero | May 18, 2010

So we needed another crib mattress for Kaden, but we didn’t neccessarily want to buy a new one when Logan would be moving out iof his toddler bed (uses a crib mattress) soon anyways. So, we finally decided to get the Kura bunk bed from Ikea… Continue reading

You should cry over spilt milk

ElementZero | April 30, 2010

So, I’m not really the one who does the “cleaning” at our house. I mean, I pick up toys and put away dishes and stuff, but when it comes to mopping, vacuuming, scrubbing, etc., well…that stuff just magically does itself at my house (either that or my wife is doing it…hmm…I wonder).

Anyways, since Kaden was born last week, I have been staying home to help with the duties… Continue reading

A wonderful weekend

ElementZero | April 29, 2009

So this weekend was pretty nice. We kicked it off with some swimming at the pool on Friday night. It was the third time we had attempted to go swimming this year so far, and this time the water was acceptable, although still cold. Luckily Ethan this time seemed to finally remember his “swimming days” from last year, and was able to jump off the wall and swim to me… Continue reading

We are moving to Japan!

ElementZero | April 1, 2009

So I’ve been thinking about this for a while, but since I’m so into Anime and the Japanese culture, I’ve talked with my wife for many nights about it and we decided that we are going to move to Japan on April 20th (right after my birthday). I’ve already given my two week notice, and I can’t wait to get packed and fly over.

I haven’t told my parents… Continue reading

The things kids say…

ElementZero | March 20, 2009

So Ethan had a question for Mariel this morning, apparently about growing up and what was going to happen to him in life in regards to a family and living with us. The conversation went something like this:

Ethan: Why is Maddie a girl like you?

Mariel: Cause she just is buddy.

Ethan: Is she a mommy like you?

Mariel… Continue reading

A night at the circus

ElementZero | February 10, 2009

The Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey Circus came to Orlando recently, and so we decided to go see it. It would obviously be the boys first trip to the circus, but what surprised me is that my wife had never been to the circus either. I think the last time I went to the city was about 12 years ago myself, although that would have been my fifth or… Continue reading

Planes and little boys

ElementZero | February 3, 2009

Mr. Higgins (or as the boys call him, “Papa” ) came up to visit us this last weekend. He flew up in his airplane on Saturday morning, stayed the day, and then flew back Sunday morning. He actually did it as he was practicing for his Instrument exam for his plane – an exam that will allow him to fly through clouds as it would show that he is able… Continue reading

Ethan’s first MyGym class

ElementZero | January 26, 2009

A friend of ours recently bought a MyGym, which is basically a gym for toddlers and children. My wife had helped a friend take their daughter to a MyGym before, so she knew what it was about and thought it would be nice for the boys to try it. Seeing how the boys have lots of spare energy lately (and seeing as I don’t have a way to harness that… Continue reading

Thanksgiving 2008

ElementZero | January 26, 2009

For Thanksgiving last year (yes – I know it’s January – better to post late than never) we decided to go down to Fort Myers since it would be the last time we would be probably be traveling for a while since our baby girl was almost here. The boys were actually good (for once!) on both the car trip down and back, so that was a first.

In… Continue reading

Logan’s Birthday

ElementZero | January 23, 2009

Logan’s Birthday was on November 15th (ok ok…so I’m a little bit late writing this post..better late than never). While we had a birthday party for both the boys on November 1st, we treated that party as more of a public affair, while we treated Logan’s birthday as more of a private party for both the boys.

Since Logan is really into dinosaurs at the moment, we decided… Continue reading
