Where Hope and Fun Come Together
"Fireeeee truck. Fire TRUCK!!! Here comes the firreeee truck." Maybe if I roll over, the song will stop? Grabbing the blankets, I pulled them to the top of my neck and turned onto my side. Silence. A brief lull? Did he actually stop? "FIRE TRUCK! FIRE TRUCKKKK! HERE COMES THE FIRE TRUCK!" It's 6:10 in … Continue reading Short and Sweet: Slowly Developing Patience…Very Slowly.
Like the rebels surviving against The Empire, for two years The Eason Clan have gone unscathed - until now. Like Gollum climbing down the steep cliffs west of the Anduin River hunting Frodo in The Lord of The Rings, COVID leapt upon us suddenly. "Dude, enough of the references from popular fiction!" Yeah, yeah. Let's … Continue reading Eason Wars: The COVID Strikes Back
I won't keep you long today, but I wanted to share two thoughts with you. Being a parent sometimes isn't easy. It can be stressful; while other days can be down right nuts-o. Even though it is one of the most rewarding things in life - having the responsibility to love, guide, support and parent … Continue reading Days Gone By: Enjoying The Moments Before They Are Gone
Not exactly your Marvel Avenger's line up, but I've got a feeling The Eason Clan could overwhelm one villain if we worked together - maybe a lame sounding character like Egghead or Asbestos Lady (yes, actual Marvel villains). Shout out to my friend XerxesInEaster, for the awesome image she created for us: Isaac's super speed, … Continue reading Short and Sweet: Eating with Camels, and Losing Our Imaginations
TheEasonClan Copyright. Created by XerxesInEaster It seems that as time passes by, the comical drama reaches another level here at the Clan. Whether it's Isaac's funny facial expressions - that probably would have made Jim Varney crack a smile - or Ava's abrupt comments that can stop you in your tracks; the Twins keep ramping … Continue reading Short and Sweet: “Look me in the eyes!” and Learning To Reject Unhelpful Anger – The Biblical Way
Photo by Elisabeth Fossum on Pexels.com Have you ever shouted in a tunnel or bellowed from a hilltop? What did you hear? Chances are you heard an echo. Sound waves are quite interesting actually. Once you speak, the sound travels outwards and toward an object, which then reflects the sound back towards you. Psychologically, your … Continue reading Echoes: The Importance Of Yours
Listening to 'grace' being sung from my son’s bedroom at 7:39PM is a bit strange, especially when I know he is lying there with no food. Surrounded by construction vehicles, plastic army men, and of course Curious George, Isaac bellows out the words for my attentive ears down the hall. The song grows louder with … Continue reading The Importance of the ‘C’ Word
Hello hello, and welcome back to another Short and Sweet! I am writing this blog post as my brain is still recouping from shift work and dispatching. Yes indeed, I certainly look forward to my days off; being surrounded by my children and having our mini adventures. And what ‘adventures’ we’ve been having! My house … Continue reading Short and Sweet: Possessive Pronouns, Running for Refuge, and a Fresh Look
Photo by Kadri Vosumae on Pexels.com I was cooking in the kitchen, when suddenly he appeared; he was looking mighty curious with a smile from ear to ear. He slowly walked to where I stood, as he looked from left to right. His face flashed excitement, when he sneaked up to my side. "I need … Continue reading Christmas in October
Life is full of ups and downs, twist and turns, and decisions that we make on the fly. As a father of four, I make a decent amount of decisions daily. What to make for school lunches, how to do the girls hair (practice needed, just ask my daughters), clothes for today, breakfast; the list … Continue reading Decisions: Booger King and Staying Straight
