We’ve had a pretty decent garden this year given the fact that we planted beans and corn so late. I’ve definitely had my fill of corn on the cob and Nancy was giving fresh corn away to the neighbors. Yesterday she went out and picked a bucket full of beans from one of the bean… Continue reading Harvest Time

A couple of weeks ago Luppin was helping me water our garden, when I noticed a praying mantis on the lawn. I pointed it out to her and she thought it was the coolest thing ever. I told her that she should not hurt the big bug because it was a good bug that ate… Continue reading Mr. Mantis

The comments and broken links should be working now. I’m not sure what the problem was but I just upgraded to a newer version of the blog software and that seemed to fix it. Also, I’ve been getting mad at Nancy because she’s not pulling her weight in the posting department. Her last post was… Continue reading Comments Fixed

Last week Toronto, this week Honolulu. Our company has a contract with a Hawaiian government agency which will involve an estimated 14 man-weeks here in Honolulu. All of my staff wanted to come for this project but I keep telling them that it’s going to be all business with very little time 7for play. Luckily,… Continue reading Hello from Honolulu

I spent last week in Toronto. We’re partnering with a Canadian company on a forms processing deal that would be the biggest deal in the history of our company. We flew to Philly on Monday night, spent the night in the airport hotel, and left early Tuesday morning for Canada. We worked on the RFP… Continue reading Ever Been to Toronto, eh?

After buying Grandpa Kent’s car we had three vehicles and only two drivers. Time to sell the Saturn. Nancy and I bought the Saturn in 1996 just after Emily was born. At the time, Nancy was pregnant with Annie. Nancy had been driving a little Ford Colt that she brought to the marriage. It was… Continue reading Sold!

I home teach a couple in our ward that has a bunch of chickens. Occasionally they bring us a dozen eggs. Several weeks ago we took the youngest three kids over their house to give them a present for their new baby and say thanks. I’m finally getting around to posting some of the pictures… Continue reading Summer Catch Up

Texas and Anne started school this past Monday. Samuel’s first full day was this past Tuesday. Emily doesn’t start until this coming Monday but today she had a practice day at the school. The practice day gives the new wide-eyed seventh graders a chance to find their lockers, find where all their classes are, meet… Continue reading Back to School

Tonight I don’t have Bishopric duties so I have a little extra time to get caught up on posts. I also have extra time to get sidetracked on interesting stuff (interesting to me, at least). I’ve been collecting statistics on where traffic originates from when it comes to my blog. The number one generator of… Continue reading Where does my traffic come from?

Tuesday was the first full day of school for Samuel. On Monday night I went to his room to check on him (he has a habit of sneaking out of his room and sleeping in Texas’ bed) but there was no Samuel in the bed: Someone gave Samuel a little Spiderman tent for his birthday.… Continue reading First Day of School Nerves?
