Super Dad can retire now that Shelley has made it back from her trip to Denmark. As you can see by the photo, the kids were very happy to see her. They insisted on making a welcome home sign. I printed the sign at work and we decorated it the afternoon before she arrived. Shelley [...]

The excitement is growing. Mom will be returning tomorrow night from her two week trip to Denmark. We have all been following Mom’s activities on their travel website (www.ncchstravel.com).

04/14 – Super Dad = Tired Dad. Fell asleep on the couch last night and wasn’t able to report on Day 13. Better late than never. Kids had fun playing outside after school while I prepared cheeseburgers, fries and salad. Of course Natalie and I ate in a timely fashion and then waited for poky [...]

Uneventful…lack of naps made for tired pups. Went right to sleep.

Nothing exciting today. Lounging and wallowing Uncle Corey was the activities of the day. The kids did get a bit out of line…but were quickly corrected with some time out.

Power outage…living pioneer style! A quick storm rolled through and knocked out the power. The kids were instantly bored until “Shadow Puppet Theater”. Turtles, old man, crocodile, and butterflys were the animals of the night. Kids went down without much fuss to candle light.

Another nice day in NKY. 70F and overcast skies. Kids had some fun playing outside before and after dinner. Mom is in Amsterdam until tomorrow and was not able to give us a call today. Kids missed hearing her voice today, but I assured them they would be talking to her before bed tomorrow night.

04/08 – Last night…after the whirl wind that was the 5 hour gymnastic shuffle, I tried to log on to update the goings here in the Wykle household. The server was acting a little flaky and I decided to wait to update before going to bed. Needless to say my intentions were squashed by my [...]

Weather continues to be beautiful! Kids enjoyed the afternoon while dinner was cooking. Trampoline and bike riding were on the agenda. Eli did share some 4 year-old wisdom on the way from school. “Easter Bunny, Santa Claus, and Leprechauns use magic because they don’t want to be seen” I found this statement to be very [...]

Spring is here. Today was a sunny welcome to the wet spring that we’ve had this season. We enjoyed the day by taking a trip to the park. Eli and Natalie played on the playground for 45 minutes and then we went for a walk around Loop 1 (see map below). They didn’t understand what [...]

Day 4 was a typical Saturday. Eli (a.k.a Star Wars Junky) watched #2 and Natalie played with Madison next door. Everyone got to talk to Mom when she called at lunch time. After a relaxed day, we decided to have some Chinese food and a treat…ice cream at Diary Queen was fun for all. See [...]

As usual, everyone was glad that Friday was finally here. Eli, Natalie and I joined the Noltings at our favorite Mexican restaurant Real Fiesta. Mom was missed and I had to take over during the ordering process. Eli tried to play the “pout” when I insisted on getting something other than the cheese quesadilla – [...]
