Bri 'n Em 'n the M&M'z: Age Related Sleepiness
http://emilieandbrian.blogspot.com/2011/02/age-related-sleepiness.html
Bri n Em n the M&Mz. A fascinating history of Brian and Emilie's family. Sunday, February 13, 2011. Here are my theories as to the cause of this phenomena:. It is just a fluke. Some complex biological process happens to change circadian rhythms when one turns . . . my age. I have just been busy with new tasks at church, learning new stuff, information and responsibility overload. Sleep is contagious (everyone in my house is currently asleep). I'm mystified, and have decided to go to bed. Goodnight! Hypot...

Bri 'n Em 'n the M&M'z: Profound conversations
http://emilieandbrian.blogspot.com/2010/07/profound-conversations.html
Bri n Em n the M&Mz. A fascinating history of Brian and Emilie's family. Tuesday, July 20, 2010. Matt: Dad, I love you. Dad: I love you too, Matt. Matt: I'm going to miss you when you die, Dad. Dad: I'll miss me too, Matt. Matt: Dad, you're going to die in 100 weeks, when you're old. Dad: That's only two years away, Matt. And I'm already old. Random dude at urinal outside of stall: (snicker). Matt: Well then you'll die in 100 million years and I'll miss you and you'll die when you're old. There are vultu...

Bri 'n Em 'n the M&M'z: In order to appease the restless
http://emilieandbrian.blogspot.com/2010/10/in-order-to-appease-restless.html
Bri n Em n the M&Mz. A fascinating history of Brian and Emilie's family. Monday, October 11, 2010. In order to appease the restless. I'll post a few photos of our brood. OK, no offspring here, but my lovely wife. She ran a 5k in September, and placed 1st in her age group. I'd say I'm proud of her, but since I was dragged along against my own free will, I'm only moderately pleased. Zachary enjoys a varied diet of cardboard, credit cards and anything foam (balls, darts and in this case the birdie from a ch...

Bri 'n Em 'n the M&M'z: Another Birthday, Bear Grylls and Christmas Trees
http://emilieandbrian.blogspot.com/2010/11/birthdays-bear-grylls-and-christmas.html
Bri n Em n the M&Mz. A fascinating history of Brian and Emilie's family. Monday, November 29, 2010. Another Birthday, Bear Grylls and Christmas Trees. As much as Z likes to go outside and eat dirt, he doesn't like to get caught eating dirt. Yeah, I don't know what to say. Is all that bad. At the very least, maybe he'll be more open to trying new foods at dinner? Big M on the other hand looks absolutely fab! Rocking a Red Hair Monster Wig and could easily fit in with any early 80's-early 90's glam metal.

Bri 'n Em 'n the M&M'z: Homeless?
http://emilieandbrian.blogspot.com/2010/07/homeless.html
Bri n Em n the M&Mz. A fascinating history of Brian and Emilie's family. Saturday, July 3, 2010. It's Brian again. Emilie fell asleep a little while ago, not that I blame her. I had the easy job of just driving. She had to manage a car full of demanding offspring. We decided to take US 20 from Ontario to Salem for a change of scenery and had lunch in Bend, OR. While there, we went spelunking for a bit at the Newberry National Volcanic Monument. I always find it moderately amazing how much garbage two lit...

Bri 'n Em 'n the M&M'z: Goings on and quietness on the Mid-Western Front.
http://emilieandbrian.blogspot.com/2010/11/goings-on-and-quietness-on-mid-western.html
Bri n Em n the M&Mz. A fascinating history of Brian and Emilie's family. Sunday, November 14, 2010. Goings on and quietness on the Mid-Western Front. We had a family portrait commissioned recently, the artist delivered it this afternoon. It's going to be matted and framed and will shortly hang on the wall in our living room. And were unable for assistance. President Obama did call with his condolences and offered to bring the two of them to the White House for some reconciliatory beers and brats, but...

Bri n Em n the M&Mz. A fascinating history of Brian and Emilie's family. Monday, January 17, 2011. A New Year and No Resolutions. Happy New Year everyone! 2010 was a great year, full of new adventures. We are excited to see what 2011 will bring. Now that we are in a tornado prone state, we might be reporting some crazy storms. These are origami boxes made with scrapbook paper and attached to the refrigerator with magnets. It turns out that it takes a quite awhile to make 24 origami boxes.).

Bri 'n Em 'n the M&M'z: Conversations in the Car
http://emilieandbrian.blogspot.com/2011/11/conversations-in-car.html
Bri n Em n the M&Mz. A fascinating history of Brian and Emilie's family. Thursday, November 10, 2011. Conversations in the Car. The 5 yr old asks, "Mom, are bushmen real? Since the kids have recently been hooked on The Gods Must Be Crazy II. I figured I knew what he meant, so I said, "You mean Kalahari Bushmen that live in Africa? Yes," he answered. Yup, they are real," I said. Then the three-year old piped, "Mom, are we bushmen? No, we are Americans" I replied. Do we live in Africa," she continued.

Bri 'n Em 'n the M&M'z: Moving Along and Mostly Moved In
http://emilieandbrian.blogspot.com/2010/07/moving-along-and-mostly-moved-in.html
Bri n Em n the M&Mz. A fascinating history of Brian and Emilie's family. Friday, July 30, 2010. Moving Along and Mostly Moved In. In all, a very very fine house. And to think this is AFTER I'd already unloaded some of it. The guy who dropped off our trailer ( ABF. Did a great job in getting our stuff here, and much cheaper than it would have been to do it ourselves.) was flabbergasted that we had packed it so tightly. Z getting his daily allowance of vitamins, minerals and dirt. While we haven't seen muc...

Bri 'n Em 'n the M&M'z: It's Been Awhile
http://emilieandbrian.blogspot.com/2011/07/its-been-awhile.html
Bri n Em n the M&Mz. A fascinating history of Brian and Emilie's family. Sunday, July 17, 2011. The last few months have seen a lot of changes and new adventures. We've discovered that Oklahoma is very hot (apparently this year is hotter than normal- but still! The first picture is of a hailstone that fell in our backyard the night before the big storm that hit our area. The second photo is of B. and the kids having fun in the bathroom. (No, really that is. Yikes I cant imagine. That would be terrible.
