Today’s weekends are for kids isn’t about my kids. It’s rather about a kid Joshua and I saw on interstate 40 this morning. Let me set the stage: Joshua and I were driving home from his swim meet which was approximately 30 miles away. The traffic on interstate 40 had slowed to a crawl coming [...]

This past week, I took Joshua (7) and Andi (4) to Greer Stadium, home of the Nashville Sounds, our minor league baseball team. It’s been a while since we’ve tried to do an outing to a sporting event, so I was a bit off my game in terms of expectations. However, I was able to [...]

Perhaps, and I’m not saying this is definite, but perhaps our family is becoming a little too familiar with medical treatment and hospitals. Case in point, here are the lyrics for the nursery rhyme Andi has been singing all morning: “Ten little monkeys jumping on the bed. One fell off and had to be treated [...]

Jana and I serve on a prayer counselor team at our church. So periodically, when it’s our Sunday, we go to the front of the front of the auditorium to pray with anyone who would like to. I was out of town last Sunday, so this post comes second hand from her. As the sermon [...]

He’s not interested in doing something he doesn’t want to do no matter [...]

Kids are smart. And funny. Case in point was this week when we were discussing the story of Noah and the Ark at breakfast. Here’s the conversation: Me: What do you think people thought about Noah as he was building the boat? Andi: That man is silly. Joshua: Or crazy. Me nodding vigorously. Yes, children, [...]

“Tell us the story of the wall, Daddy.” That’s what my daughter says every time her brother tries to get me to tell some elaborate story of how Batman entered the Star Wars universe and beat up the emperor only to find out that the Joker has somehow obtained a lightsaber. Whatever. But Andi? She [...]

Wow. It’s been a while since I did a weekends are for kids post. For this, I apologize. Several weeks ago, the family loaded up in the family truckster to go to Dollywood, which my brother accurately described as “several square miles where a Cracker Barrel exploded.” True. But also awesome. How awesome, you ask? [...]

Sorry for my lack of posting on Weekends Are For Kids. I think I haven’t posted because, well, weekends are for kids. Not posts. But I digress… There are certain markers in all of our lives that you’ll remember forever. Your first kiss. The first time you walked into a room with your fly unzipped. [...]

My 3-year-old daugher, Andi, has always loved to sing. But now she’s putting more and more words to her songs, repeating lyrics she’s heard rather than just making up her own. Unfortunately, she only knows 3 songs pretty well. Song 1: There’s a song in High School Musical 3 where Troy and Gabriella are breaking [...]
