Happy Fourth Birthday Aram! You are so so loved. On this day, you had your (very scary) early start at life: But look at you now! NOW THAT is worth celebrating! … [Read more...]

Barack Hussein Obama was quoted at the Al Smith dinner saying, "I got my name from somebody who obviously didn't think I'd ever run for president." Clearly, it didn't stand in his way. However, a study in 2009 concluded that boys with unpopular names are more likely to break the law: "Also, adolescents with unpopular names may be more prone to crime because they are treated differently by their peers, making it more difficult for them to form relationships," according to a statement … [Read more...]

Big John McCarthy's Gym The boys are now in a "Little Warriors" class If you are in the LA area it is unquestionably one of the top places for adults who want to train in MMA. Without a doubt it is the best in mixed martial arts classes for children. The coach of the littlest children has the reputation of child whisperer: It takes a special kind of person to work with kids this age (I personally would rather have a lobotomy). Yet, he seems to enjoy it and makes it look easy! The kids … [Read more...]

Even the sick kid's parents … [Read more...]

Morning Chaos

The past week I have woken up to the most random scenes: Which leads up to this morning. I woke up to Samuel locked in his room...except Samuel's door doesn't have a lock. The hinges are in the inside of the door, but we removed the knob with no luck. The maintenance staff came up with no luck and had to drill a hole in the door to get in. Poor Samuel darted to the bathroom as soon as he was released. … [Read more...]
