Utah isn’t the best place for pro sports, but over the last two weekends we had some great opportunities to cheer on our local teams. On April 28, Megan and I got invited to go to a Real Salt Lake soccer match. Megan has been playing soccer for several years and was excited to go …

Threepeat!
You could just feel the pressure. For the last two years, Jacob has won the school spelling bee. His first win, as a fourth-grader, was totally unexpected. As a fifth-grader, the contest was still his to lose, but nothing could compare to this year. He almost didn’t enter, because of the high expectations. Once he …
A talented little artist
Katelyn has recently blossomed into quite the little artist. She is very good as seeing things and replicating them in a variety of mediums. We got her an Etch-a-Sketch for Christmas and you’d be amazed at the things she can draw on that thing. At school, she get’s requests for cartoon characters from all her …
Caribbean Cruise (Part 2)
Monday, February 13 After a rough night at sea, Monday’s weather forecast promised improvement. A little cooler than usual thanks to the cold front from the day before that had caused the winds, but in the Caribbean that means its 75° instead of 81°. We got up early and packed for a beach day at …
Caribbean Cruise (Part 1)
I don’t really like reading or even hearing about other people’s travels — it just makes me jealous. When a post like this one comes up on someone else’s blog, I don’t even bother reading it. So, I can’t really be upset if you don’t read this one. However, I feel like I have to …
A Notice to Appear
I got a letter this week from the U.S. District Court in Salt Lake City. Turns out that I’ve been selected to serve as a juror. I don’t know anything about the case, whether I’ll be empaneled, whether the judge will be impressed by my history as a lawyer or if he’ll also be concerned …

January 2011: Megan got braces. February 2011: For the first time in a long time(maybe ever?), we took a real family vacation …
Boys’ Homework
Jacob brought home a lot of his schoolwork today. This was amongst his assignments: Yep. That’s our boy. We’re so proud.
Driver license nightmare (part 3)
Note from Seth: if you haven’t read part 1 and part 2 of my driver license nightmare, you’ll want to start there. When I saw the outside of the envelope with a PennDOT return address I thought my nightmare was just about over. Finally, I could be cleared to get a driver license. Then I …
Driver license nightmare (part 2)
Note from Seth: This is a continuation of my earlier post. Make sure you’ve read part 1 of my driver license nightmare so you’ll understand just what I’ve been dealing with. The morning of the 17th I got a phone call from Lucille at PennDOT. You know how sometimes you can picture the person at …
