My wife and I always read to our kids.  There are a handful of books that I remember reading to them that stand out.  When I read to them from an illustrated children’s Bible, my oldest daughter would always ask for the story of the wedding in Cana and my son enjoyed the story of… Continue reading Corduroy Goes to the Doctor

I am the father of three kids. They are all adults now. As is probably the case with most parents, our parenting style and skills evolved with more kids added to the family.  We tried to be as much by the book as possible with our first child.  By the third child, we loosened up… Continue reading Evolution of Parenting Skills

I enjoy watching movies. I have passed this love of films on to my children.  I have what is probably best described as eclectic taste in movies and I think my children have this as well. My wife called me at work one day when my oldest daughter was about 4 years old.  While we… Continue reading God Bless Godzilla

One day when my kids were much younger, my youngest daughter, Mary was arguing with her brother, James, in our kitchen.  I don’t remember how old she was but if she was school age, she hadn’t been in school very long.

Watching them as much as I did, I noticed the same music being used in all the films from this studio.  Leroy Shield wrote these song and musical cues.  The… Continue reading The Baby and The Beau Hunks

When my youngest daughter was little, she would run around with no clothes on after she got out of the shower. She would stand in the hallway upstairs outside of her room, raise one arm above her head and the other down by her side and shout “I’m Naked!”  She didn’t do it all the… Continue reading Naked Pose at the Amusement Park

A few years ago, we went to eat lunch at a restaurant on Mother’s Day after church. Only my immediate family were present, so it was my wife and our three kids.  We were at a family style chain restaurant.  The hostess seated us with my son and I on one side of the table… Continue reading Mother’s Day with Montel

When my kids were little, they would sometimes sleep over at my parent’s house. My girls would sleep with my mom and my son would sleep with my dad.  During one of these sleep-overs, my son had gas.  He was breaking wind regularly and my dad was trying to talk him into stopping.  I’m sure… Continue reading You Are A Loser!
