I suck at remembering birthdays. Hell, I barely know what day of the week it is sometimes. But, early last year, I had a long and rambling post whereby I tried to nail down the exact date that Julie and I met each other. That date, it turns out, was March 23, 1990. Given that, [...]

Corrupting Julie for Half of Her Life

The Springburn Drive Social Circle Is Alive and Well
July 10, 2010
Due to early summer travel and vacations running rampant through the neighborhood, we hadn’t had a Friday evening cookout/hangout in our driveway for what seemed like ages. To make up for it, we took things up a notch last night by introducing homemade buffalo wings to the menu for the evening! We fired up a [...]
Wilson Family Theme Song June 2010: On the Road Again
July 6, 2010
For chuckles, I took a crack at mapping our travels between June 9th and July 4th of this year: Tallying that up: June 9-10: Julie, Tim, Benton, Carson, and Alana drive from Columbus to Dallas for the Love reunion (1,040 miles) June 13: Julie, Tim, Benton, Carson, and Alana drive from Dallas to Lake Whitney, TX (100 [...]
Texas Trip — the Final Stop: Lake Whitney
June 19, 2010
After the Love-Eades Family Reunion and swinging by the fountains in Richardson, we headed out of Dallas to visit with my dad’s side of the family at their place on Lake Whitney. My cousin came up as well, so we also got so see her and her oldest two kids. All of the kids clicked [...]
Spring Break 2010 in (near) the Great Smoky Mountains
April 6, 2010
It’s a crazy couple of weeks for me travel-wise, with part of that being due to a family trip down to North Carolina for the latter half of spring break. I’ve posted a handful of pictures (16) over on Flickr — it just doesn’t look like I’ll have time in the near term to get [...]
Alana’s Room (formerly known as Carson’s Room)
March 30, 2010
If you give a child an option to swap his bed with a bed from the basement, you’ll realize that it’s going to be a pain to dismantle the bed that was originally built for his older brother and was not built for portability. So… You’ll casually mention to his sister that his bed is [...]
A Neighborhood Sledfest
February 10, 2010
Last weekend — starting on Friday, actually — we got just over a foot of snow. That was enough to make for plenty of outdoor activity, yet not so much as to keep us truly snowbound at home. On Saturday after lunch, Julie headed down to the end of our street with our kids and [...]
Julie on the Farm
February 6, 2010
Continuing the theme of some pictures from our surprisingly snow-filled trip to West Virginia last weekend with pictures of Julie… Hanging out with Molly down by the creek Pondering the winter scene With a large icicle Walking back to the farmhouse with her dad
Alana on the Farm
February 2, 2010
Alana headed outside a couple of times to “clean the snow off of Mommy’s car,” but, for the most part, she stayed inside — Grandma Pam is entirely too much of a draw, especially in sub-20 degree weather. On Saturday afternoon, she played some checkers with Julie: She’s totally up for a little smack-talk after [...]
Molly Goes Sledding
January 31, 2010
We headed to West Virginia for the weekend and were surprised when it snowed for most of the day on Saturday. Pleasantly surprised! The boys barely waited until the ground was covered before heading out to slide down the hill, despite the 12-degree weather. Julie got the idea to give Molly a ride down the [...]
