I had a few minutes open up in my afternoon today. They happened to correspond with the time my wife was taking Charlie and the little girl she watches to the local park. So I zipped over to the park to see if I could catch up with them. As Read more…
Our daughter Josie turned 17 yesterday. She spent most of the day in a car, traveling back from the US Rugby high school national tourney. Our own State High girls rugby team was scrumming it up. They brought home the 6th place trophy, which is pretty stinking impressive. The young Read more…
I had a blast with my middle school kids (my personal kids, that is) today at the disc golf course out at Harvest Fields. This might be one of the best-kept secrets in the valley! As the school day ended I shot them an email asking if they’d be up Read more…
Some women are destined for diamonds, perfume, and flowers; my lovely wife has chosen a different road. Oh, there are gems and fragrances and flowers, to be sure. But not the type you’d buy in a shop downtown. Kim had a definite gift in mind for Mother’s Day. If we had Read more…
Our family has been the subject of a documentary being filmed by a young lady finishing her film major at PSU. She’s been working primarily with Kim and Annabelle, walking through the adoption process. It’s been very interesting to watch, as the young lady is Chinese and had little knowledge Read more…

Team Sublett has suffered a terrible loss. March 15 was the day we first heard about a pregnant lady in a far off state who was interested in finding a family to adopt her baby girl, due to be born near the end of May. Kim passed the info around her adoptive Read more…
I had two out-of-the-ordinary conversations today. The first was with some grandparents from our church. They’d been wondering what was going on for youth (they have a few headed toward 6th grade) and had no idea. So they asked me to lunch and plied me with questions. They had definite Read more…
It began with Kim recording “indisputable video evidence” of me snoring. While I failed to see the humor in it, she seemed quite delighted with herself. We spent a good (not really good) portion of the day chasing down expired drivers licenses, renewing expired vehicle registrations, and trying to figure out which Read more…
When it’s just us in the room, Charlie is a ham. He gets silly and goofy and cuts up like crazy. But when other folks are around, our little dude tends to get shy. We’re working hard to make sure that he isn’t rude, but he definitely holds back. Tonight Read more…
