when did this happen?

I swear I blinked and they were all grown up… Levi is in the final stages of his high school musical run.  Not the HSM, though that’d be cool, too.  He’s in a couple of fantabulous choirs at State High, and if you’ve never heard the Master Singers or Chamber Singers (seriously, click Read more

our hearts hurt

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

writing another story

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

one o’ them days

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

like father, like son

Levi and I got the chance to lead worship tonight for our student ministry.  We had a blast! Folks were singing loudly, clapping, dancing around…it was fun for us to get to play together.  My buddy Kevin took this picture of us during sound check: Check out our faces–identical!  And Read more

the charlie few see

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

striking the set

Children of Eden has come to a close, and with the final bow, Levi is ever so near the end of his high school thespian career.  It’s been wonderful, full of great friends, beautiful performances, and life lessons.  Being part of this troupe has provided a sense of community and Read more

children of eden hit and miss

Levi and Lilly (and the State High Thespians) presented Children of Eden tonight.  It’s Levi’s senior show.  We are rapidly coming to the end of his high school theatre run.  It’s been such a good experience for him, and for us.  I’m planning to spend a couple of days exploring some Read more

dad & dudes day

We finally got a little sunshine in Happy Valley, and the boys and I made the most of it. Levi was MIA since it’s tech week for Children of Eden.  He was missed… Sadie got bunnies for Christmas, and we picked up a great used bunny hutch (thanks Lee Culver!) Read more

tattoos & ice cream

Oh you know, just a normal Tuesday night for Team Sublett. Kim and the kids decided that they wanted to make my 46th birthday memorable, so they accompanied me to a tattoo shop this evening.  Yep–all 9 of us trucked it downtown, traipsed into the tattoo parlor, and got me Read more
