Alex
As I went downstairs to help catch up on our family’s laundry backlog today, I was shocked (and yet, not surprised at all) to find it in complete disarray. Various articles of clothing strewn everywhere from the steps to the washer and dryer, and then all around both of those.
“Alex!!” I thought to myself, [...]

We decided, sort of last-minute, to head out to one of our favorite places last night (Leo’s Pizza) and take advantage of the kids eat free Tuesday special ( …we have a lot of kids!!) We also got to drop by and celebrate a birthday with some friends, so it was a fun night [...]
After only about five weeks of being fish caretakers, we’ve managed to hold two funerals. I don’t think those are very good numbers. (And the fish would probably agree.)
Tonight we “buried” (Ahem… flushed) our second fishy in a “touching” ceremony that involved Alex and Kirstie eagerly watching every move as Dad “fished” the [...]
You may have noticed the new look around here. GregsHead.net is now a Wordpress blog, and is sporting a new customized template, and a couple neat, new plug-ins.
Jen and I spent probably most of an hour tonight making use of the related posts plug-in. It was so fun! We were looking up [...]
My two boys and I have been trying to read through the book of Luke this month. At least the beginning, where we got to read again the story of Jesus’ arrival. It really is both ordinary and incredible all at once.

His team is The Determinators. If you go to this link, [...]
I got a marketing email from Amazon.com today that I decided to pass along here on my blog. I have a long list of things in every area of life at the moment, which has prevented me from sharing thoughts and stories here that I really want to share, but this figures to be pretty [...]

For the past two weeks I have assumed the role of main caregiver for our five oldest kids, and main caretaker of our household stuff. It’s something I’ve done following the birth of each of the past four kids (pretty sure it started with our daughter, Kirsten) and something I always really look forward [...]

This afternoon, following a nice lunch together as a family, the kids discovered that Julia had left a fifty cent piece in her food. (Yes, in her food.)
Incredulous, big brother Alex asked, “Julia!!! Why did you do that?? Don’t you know that’s fifty cents!!?? It’s real money!”
Without missing a [...]
I needed to do a couple loads of laundry tonight, so I was a little disappointed when I went downstairs and found some laundry sort of “in process”. (Note: our 7 year old does most of our laundry, and usually pretty well. But, well… he’s seven. Nuff said.) For some reason [...]
