Ava and Muffins
My sister has commented that these picture above are two of her favorite recent photos of Ava. They are actually from February, before Ava turned one. That was when we let her try Hostess chocolate chip muffins, and she immediately loved them. Today, Shannon got some cereal in a bowl for Ava and put it [...]
My connection to the swine flu
Did that headline get your attention? As a stay-at-home worker, I am pretty safe from any viral global pandemics. But I know a guy who has been affected by the swine flu. He is a colleague on a project with me. He is from New Zealand and was flying back from Los Angeles last week. [...]
My Neighbor Mr. Blue Fitch
Two years ago, I decided to put up a birdhouse behind the house. I was so excited. I was so excited and talked about it so much that for Christmas that year, Shannon gave me a blue fitch Christmas ornament. She thought it symbolized my year. Looking back, I am not sure exactly why I [...]
I Tweet
In what may or may not be a beneficial decision to myself, my friends and family, my career and my sanity, I have joined Twitter. My Twitter homepage is here or you can tweet me at @kylemeadors. If you have no idea what Twitter is, then it is probably for the best.
Meadors Photo Albums
I recently realized my website hosting service, Bluehost.com, offers a TON of disk space with my package. Also, it allows you to install an open source photo album software, Zenphoto. I have installed it and set up a part of the site for our photos. So far, I just have the upload pictures from Ava’s [...]
Jacob’s Soccer Team
I again coaching Jacob’s YMCA Under 5 soccer team this Spring. In terms of on-field ability, this year’s team is even worse than last year’s. I am grateful we don’t have a scoreboard to display to all our futility in scoring, both in making goals (or lack thereof) and preventing goals (or lack thereof). But [...]
Sleeping, or lack thereof
Before you have your first child, everyone talks to you about not getting sleep during the early newborn months. I mean, everyone. The first thing they say after congratulations is something about the lack of sleep coming your way. Usually smiling when they say it. Like a freshman hazing or something. And yes, it is [...]
Moving Update
Many of the To-Do list of moving items are getting checked off. We have completed our home inspection and agreed with the buyers the repair list. Not finished fixing all of them, but none are major. Do need to get some spraying done in our crawl space and termite inspection but we several contractors to [...]
Surprised by Sadness
Today, we closed out an IRA account we had inherited from Shannon’s dad. As I looked online at the account and saw its new balance as $0.00, it brought a sadness upon me. It was a very tangible example of his and Mom Varden’s passing. It is not the same as a family heirloom, but [...]
Book of Mormon
I was down in Miami last week for a conference. At the hotel, the bedside table contained both the Bible and the Book of Mormon. I have never looked at the book of Mormon so I opened it up and read some of it out of curiosity. There were some verses which were familiar and [...]
