Disney Vacation Daze
About a half after the clouds let loose you might argue that Disney is still fun when it rains. About an hour into the torrential downpour, witnessing a few lightning strikes and downed rides, and walking around in sponges and wondering if you caught pneumonia you might grudgingly concede the point. On the plus side,…

Autism, Television and A Christian’s Responsibility
Mohler (HT: Tim–>Links Below) tells parents to be careful with television and children by first showing an excerpt from recent research showing a statistical relationship with autism and television viewing. People, don’t get me wrong—kids shouldn’t be spending hours in front of the TV, but honestly—Christians, just because you read a bit of research don’t…

When Is A Pikachu Not A Pokémon?
My son started speaking at one and in his Borg-like ability to acquire language skills I found myself constantly surprised by what words he knew. I was constantly on the defense, answering questions.

Must See places are still trickling in (mostly East Coast) but I wanted to share this cool (and crafty…ugh) idea that my sister-in-law inadvertently gave…

Lists Us Up Where We Belong
I love not telling my kids where we’re going if it’s someplace fun. Just sort of wake them up, give them breakfast and put them in whatever outfits they’re going to need for the event. My daughter doesn’t get it—to her clothes are clothes—but my son understands that swimming trunks serve a different function than…

Random Pix
The first is a shot I took a few nights back around midnight. I had the exposure sorta high so it might look like the sun. The second shot is my son’s artwork. Or cakes. He was baking (with sand) and set this up on the brick partition in the back of my house. It’s…

MCF’s Blog Party: Returns
MCF asked “What are the best things in your life that have returned?” for his blog party. Well, Jesus didn’t come back yet though I’m waiting. I never had a pet that could get lost to begin with: fish seldom run away from bowls. The books that people have borrowed remain borrowed. I haven’t even…
