Race Day

Nicholas and Donna just completed the “A Run Through History” one mile race sponsored by the New Orleans Track Club.

They both did great!!! I didn’t get the exact times that they ran it in but I believe Nicholas ran in about 8:30 and Donna about 11:20, unfortunately I was a little ahead of the finish [...]

Healthy Children

I’m not really one for a lot of charitable giving. There are a lot of great organizations out there that deserve and need lots of help, however it’s impossible for the average person to give to them all.

Anyone that has children can appreciate the help that St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital gives to families in [...]

Too Much TV is Bad for Grades

New Scientist has an article about kids TV watching habits and the possible repercussions to their academic performance.

It’s something to remember when my kids get to be old enough to start asking to drive… [...]

First Night Alone

Nicholas actually spent the first night alone in his new room; I think he turned every available light on. I know he even changed one of the smaller lights to a larger one.

He helped out yesterday when we were putting the trim and doing the windows so I think he learned and got to spend [...]

Kids & Rooms

This weekend we are supposed to be finishing Nicholas’ room. Saturday will be the first night he will have his own room while staying with me. I don’t know if he is really excited about it but honestly I am. I’m glad to be providing a refuge for him away from the two little girls [...]

I’ve moved my pictures to a new page – http://www.thomaswimprine.com I am hoping to keep new artwork up and to keep it fresh, however I have been working in the darkroom lately so posting it isn’t as easy as the digital cameraI have my kids on a regular schedule now! We went to court today [...]

Home after Katrina and with the kids

I’m home in Jefferson Parish, right next door to New Orleans, and have been for about six weeks now. I have my children this weekend, which is a very special blessing considering everything that has been going on and the amount of time at work.

I have to bring them home to their mother shortly, and [...]
