Tales from the Homefront: Do Your Best
http://pjstalesfromthehomefront.blogspot.com/2012/04/do-your-best.html
Sunday, April 15, 2012. With the warmer weather of spring we have been spending more time outside. I love the fresh air and the healthy activity level that outside play provides. All at a great price too.free! This new equipment has led to frequent tee ball games in the back yard. They both love to hit the ball and run the bases. I love to pitch to Lucy, set the tee up for Paige, and chase them around the bases. Growing up sports was a big part of my life. A lot of great childhood memories were creat...

Friday, February 18, 2011. Dude Report: March Madness Preparation. Two dude reports in a row! I will get back to posting about being a stay at home dad soon.

The Mountain West is for real. Both. Will make the Elite Eight and one will make the final four. I want to predict that. The ACC and is very weak this season. Are four tea...

Tales from the Homefront: January 2011
http://pjstalesfromthehomefront.blogspot.com/2011_01_01_archive.html
Friday, January 21, 2011. Normal Tuesday, except I cried. It is amazing to think that some day these kids will be teenagers and we will be begging them to get up out of bed, but I digress. Before the president had concluded his remarks, Lucy was yelling, "Daddy! The show is over." Quickly I was brought back to the present moment and back into our nightly routine. As I headed into the bedroom I tried put myself together, but was quickly greeted by looks from Lucy and Libby that said, "What the hel...I bri...

http://pjstalesfromthehomefront.blogspot.com/2012/05/when-i-was-your-age.html
Monday, May 21, 2012. When I was your age. As kids we all heard our parents use the phrase, "When I was your age.". Sometimes the phrase was used to tell a story of how much the times have changed. Other times it was used to make use appreciate something we had that our parents didn't when they were kids. Most often. At least in the house I grew up in). It was used to add humor to a childhood story. Which meant him and his brother had to walk back to back for safety. A second example of this occurred whe...

Tales from the Homefront: December 2010
http://pjstalesfromthehomefront.blogspot.com/2010_12_01_archive.html
Thursday, December 9, 2010. Tales from the Changing Table. When we were kids we all had parents, aunts, uncles, and grandparents make comments about how fast we were growing. I even recall some mornings my mom telling me, “You look like you got taller overnight.”. In my youth I remember feeling like these comments were odd. Of course growth was happening, when I was born I was roughly 20 inches tall and fortunately somewhere along the lines I grew. About once a week she celebrates her bowel productivity ...

Tales from the Homefront: March 2011
http://pjstalesfromthehomefront.blogspot.com/2011_03_01_archive.html
Wednesday, March 9, 2011. Lib was cleaning out a cabinet yesterday morning and she found a bag of green beads. As you can see Paige enjoyed playing with them. It started with her winter hats, but she enjoys trying to put things on her head. The green beads were no exception. Although the beads were purchased for St. Patricks Day, with yesterday being "Fat Tuesday" and Paige getting into the spirit I wanted to share this picture. Sunday, March 6, 2011. The top advantages of living in a gated community.

Tales from the Homefront: Olympics
http://pjstalesfromthehomefront.blogspot.com/2012/07/olympics.html
Sunday, July 22, 2012. We are extremely excited about the 2012 London Summer Olympics at the Johnson house. Last month both Lucy and Paige were captivated by the Olympic trials (specifically the gymnastics) and we have been counting down to July 27th ever since. At the cost of my PBS Frontlines and multiple iCarly episodes, appropriate space has been made to DVR the Olympics. This week's Sports Illustrated Olympic preview arrived in the mail. It has become daily reading in our house ever since. I became ...

Friday, April 29, 2011. Review: Spring Has Sprung. With this first "review" post I want to continue the story of Lucy and worms. I also wanted to provide Mother Nature a gentle reminder that we are ready for spring. Last April 15th I posted an entry titled Spring Has Sprung. Looking back it appears we had been enjoying warm weather for a couple weeks by mid-April last year. It is currently April 29th and Mother Nature has yet to spring Spring for this year. Again, we are ready when you are! We celebrated...

Tales from the Homefront: May 2011
http://pjstalesfromthehomefront.blogspot.com/2011_05_01_archive.html
Wednesday, May 11, 2011. Last November I was summoned to county jury duty. I deferred to early May based on the assumption that we would be less busy during that time of year. The early May date rolled around this week and our schedule wasn't exactly wide open. So far grandparents have helped with the girls and there are additional grandparents, extended family, and neighbors on call. Today's post is to catch up on a couple holidays that slipped by. We will work on saying " Erin Go Bragh. The actually da...
