The Sage

Mar 3rd, 2008 | By Mike | Category: Papa Prattle, Pointless Posts

In church yesterday I watched as a father held his little girl in his arms. She was about five or six, and had her legs wrapped around his waist for support as she peered at the people towards the back of the church.
The service started and we all stood up. The little girl’s attention [...]



Life’s simple pleasures

Feb 26th, 2008 | By Mike | Category: Heart Strings, Papa Prattle, Pointless Posts

At 5 months old Daughter#2 just recently graduated to solid foods, and HOLY COW can she put it away!. This little girl not only has 2 hollow legs, but pretty much every appendage is hollow. I guess she gets that from me.
We started with baby cereal for 5 days and we tried [...]



In winter’s grip

Feb 19th, 2008 | By Chuck | Category: Pointless Posts, Public Service

I really hate this time of year.
Come the middle of February one is typically done with the cold months. The unexpected harsh winds while crossing the parking lot are no longer exhilarating but truly bothersome and biting. The same coat that brought you into the season feels like it has been hanging on your shoulders [...]

This blog sprung to life just five short months ago. Along the way we managed to meet some great people and discovered some truly creative, encouraging and fun blogs. Just browse through the links on the right to get an idea of what I’m talking about.
We also wrote a few posts early on that [...]



Wonderful distraction - off topic

This is an off topic post but well worth it in my opinion.
The
Library of Congress has published more than 3000 photos to Flickr. One reason behind publishing the photos is to encourage Flickr users to comment on and tag the photos thus improving the bibliographic records of the images.
I think this is awesome [...]



I need to see a man about a guinea pig

Dec 12th, 2007 | By Chuck | Category: Humor Central, Pointless Posts

It happened innocently enough I suppose. My wife and three year old daughter were stopping by Pet Smart to pick up some dog food. It turns out they were having a sale on Guinea Pigs, and as luck would have it my daughter just loooves guinea pigs. She took this opportunity to hold them and [...]



Conversations in the car I

Nov 15th, 2007 | By Chuck | Category: Humor Central, Pointless Posts

On the way home after eating too much pizza. The 16 month old is asleep and the 3 year old is eavesdropping.
Dad: I’ve got heartburn, should’ve brought the TUMS.
Girl: What did daddy say?
Mom: He said his stomach hurts
Dad: I didn’t say my stomach hurt. It doesn’t. I have heartburn.
Girl: What did daddy say?
Mom: He said [...]



Pointless Story I

Nov 11th, 2007 | By Mike | Category: Humor Central, Pointless Posts

My son is an avid Star Wars fan. He’s got Lego’s,  Action Figures, and Transformers all created, or inspired by, the marketing Juggernaut that is
LucasFilm Ltd.
At dinner recently he was again explaining to me how cool and unique the Star Wars saga was, and how he had not heard any other story quite like [...]
