I am happy to report we narrowly escaped the chaos that was SNOW-POCALYPSE. Or was is SNOW-MAGEDDON? I don’t know. It was all just so crazy and hard to keep up with… Call me biased but to a guy born and raised in Minnesota, it just seemed like it snowed pretty good for 36 hours…

Full of Thanks
As always, we have plenty to be thankful for in life. It is not that November merits more thankfulness than other months but rather there happens to be a meal with a catchy name this month that helps you not ignore how lucky you are. Among the list of things we are thankful for include…
“New Home?”
“New home?” is the second most commonly used question by William these days (second to “why?” of course). As repetitive as it may be, the answer is always yes. The next adventure has officially started! We closed on the new place in Northern Virginia this month. Sight unseen by me until closing day, to say…
The Sun Sets on San Diego
Well, all good things must come to an end. The house went on the market and then the house was sold. Bags were packed, one last group of friends came to visit, and 3/4’s of the Wiktors said goodbye to the last San Diego sunset they’ll see for a while. After six years of fun…
It’s beginning to look a lot like…
It’s beginning to look a lot like…. the same as every other sunny San Diego day? While it may still be 75 and sunny, signs of Christmas are popping up here in San Diego. Since we don’t have the change of seasons here to let us know the big man is coming with gifts, we…
Will’s 2nd Birthday
William’s birthday definitely didn’t lack celebration this year. He had not one or two, but four rounds of birthday candles to blow out. It was such a treat spending the week leading up to his birthday with family which allowed for all the extra celebrating. Sophia and Will certainly didn’t mind all the extra cake…
Sophia’s Blue Truck
One might thing Sophia is a bit young for her first car but don’t tell her. She’s quite certain that the new (old) truck parked outside the house is, as she says, “my blue truck!” So the family grew by about 4,300 lbs of awesomeness this past weekend as a 1985 Toyota FJ60 was purchased….
William Bennett
He’s here! Our little man made his debut on Friday, September 7th at 4:34pm weighing in at 6lbs 7oz and 19.5 inches long. Aside from being a string bean, Mom and Dad were surprised to see William has a full head of brown hair (not blonde like Sophia). We were fortunate enough to have Grandma…
These Days…
It’s hard to believe Sophia is almost 16 months old and even more difficult to believe that another little one will arrive on the scene in a few short weeks. Fortunately, my ever growing belly helps keep everything in perspective. At nearly 16 months, Sophia is such a delight and has really grown to be…
Sophia’s First!
Here we are, half way through May and we’re finally getting around to writing about Sophia’s first birthday. The day certainly didn’t come and go without celebration! My parents visited to help Sophia celebrate her big day and it was great having them here (more on their visit later). We had a pretty low key…
