family: Why I Love Being a Dad (VIDEO proof) - 10/23/09 10:34 PM
If you've been reading my blog for any amount of time, you probably already know that I truly love my kids.  Here's a quick and unedited video that I took tonight of our 3-year-old (Abby) and our 6-month old (Jenny).  Abby would probably kiss and hug Jenny all day if we … (19 comments)

family: A Glimpse Into My Household - Kid Updates - 09/20/09 05:29 PM
I have written many, many posts about my kids here on this blog, but I realized that it had been awhile since my last one, so I thought today was as good a day as any to share some interesting vignettes.
At age 10, my son remains exceptionally profound and perceptive.  … (33 comments)

family: She Melts My Heart - Our Baby is Almost Five Months Old (VIDEO) - 09/05/09 10:22 PM
I finally had a few minutes to sit down and put together a few clips of our newest baby girl, Jenny.  She is growing so quickly!  At her last doctor's visit, she was almost 19 pounds already (more than that now, it would seem) and super-tall, at nearly 28 inches!  People … (41 comments)

family: Why Being a Father of Four Makes Me a Good Realtor - A handful of reasons to call me first - 08/10/09 07:24 PM
A few days ago, I was struck by the fact that my parenting skills actually make me better at my profession.  Some of these are learned behaviors, to be sure, while others are inherent.  Either way, if you choose me to represent your real estate interests, you are in good hands.  … (56 comments)

family: The Best Compliments I Have Received From My Family - 08/03/09 06:16 PM
I was reflecting a few days ago on how blessed I have been in my life.  God has given me a terrific family, and I try really hard not to take them for granted.  I also realized that I have heard some terrific things from them over the years.  I pray that you … (29 comments)

family: Cute Stuff from our 3-Year Old - 06/27/09 09:27 PM
Abby, our three-year-old daughter, is ridiculously cute.  If she had her way, she would spend most of the day cuddling our newborn baby girl, petting and kissing her head. 
I have had a bunch of people ask me, "Is your toddler jealous?" and I have to laugh, because that has never … (21 comments)

family: My Silly Kids - More Funny Stuff from the Crouch Household - 03/12/09 01:00 AM
It's been awhile since I wrote a post about my kiddos, and I thought it was probably long overdue.  This is not a reflection on their antics in any way, as they continue to provide some very funny moments on a regular basis.  Instead, I've just been plain busy, and I've … (30 comments)

family: My Son Finished Marathon Kids Today! (Video included) - 02/21/09 09:20 PM
I wrote about Marathon Kids last year, which is a cool fitness program wherein kids commit to finish an entire marathon over a few months' time.  In our case, until the beginning of the month, we thought we had more time to complete this task.  I could have sworn that the final … (21 comments)

family: My kids continue to astound me and make me laugh - 02/15/09 03:33 PM
I have certainly written a bunch of posts about my children and the funny stuff that they say and do, but I realized it had been awhile since my last "kid" post.  Time to change that.
We are about eight weeks away from having our fourth child now (!).  I don't … (32 comments)

family: It SNOWED in Austin last night! - 12/11/08 12:22 AM
I realize that many of you reading this will not find the idea of snow appealing or noteworthy, but my two older children have only seen snow ONCE in their lives.  Keep in mind that my son will soon turn 10 years old. 
I have never seen snow this early in … (49 comments)

family: A Quick Thanksgiving Note to My Family - I love you! - 11/28/08 10:51 PM
Simply put, I am blessed beyond what I deserve in this life.  I wanted to take a few minutes to put into words what I am thankful to God for this year. 
I didn't write my post on Thanksgiving Day for a couple of reasons:
I didn't want it to get lost … (28 comments)

family: Sharing the "Stories of My Life" With my Kids - 11/07/08 02:13 PM
Our kids' bedtime routine has long been my domain, as it were.  My wife homeschools our three kids, so she doesn't get many breaks.  When it's time for bed, I am in charge of getting the two older kids ready, including the tooth brushing, stories, prayers, and tucking them in.  Sometimes, it involves … (44 comments)

family: My Kids Still Rock! - 10/11/08 07:26 PM
This was a fun week around our house, although I guess most weeks here are pretty fun, come to think of it.  My kids continue to amaze me.  They make me laugh, they make me cry, and sometimes, they just make me think.
Brandon remains one of the most naturally funny kids … (39 comments)

family: Our Family Trip to the Houston Zoo (with photos) - 09/20/08 04:56 PM
This is the final "installment" of my family trip photos from our recent visit to Houston (pre-hurricane).  We spent our last day at the Houston Zoo, which was a lot of fun for the whole family.  Unfortunately, the last time I went there, my cell phone was stolen from my van, … (33 comments)

family: Our Family Trip to the Houston Downtown Aquarium (with photos) - 09/13/08 05:42 PM
I am finally getting around to posting more of the pictures from our recent trip to Houston.  This was our day at the city aquarium downtown.  Following last night's hurricane which blasted the area there, I sincerely hope that this facility was unharmed, and I hope the staff and animals are safe, … (18 comments)

family: Time Capsules - Are You Making One, Too? - 09/09/08 10:23 PM
When I was a kid, I used to visit my grandmother in Corpus Christi pretty much every summer.  I would spend a couple of weeks at her house, and I got to meet all of her church and bridge-playing friends.  You know, pretty much every kid's dream, right?  Actually, her friends … (36 comments)

family: A Couple of Reasons I Enjoy Being a Dad - 09/08/08 10:37 AM
I have written a good number of posts about my kids and their sense of humor and unique wisdom.  Over the past couple of weeks, each of them has had a memorable quote or two that I wanted to share with you.
 
We were watching the 1982 musical "Annie" with … (32 comments)

family: Do you ever take your kids to showings? Well, I did it today. - 07/09/08 11:26 PM
My wife was super tired and just generally not feeling well this afternoon.  In fact, without getting into details, I will say that the previous statement was a major understatement.  She was teetering on the brink of exhaustion.  She really needed to rest somehow, yet I had an appointment at 5:30, so I did … (43 comments)

family: Kid Thoughts - 06/24/08 10:52 PM
I have written a number of times about our two-year old daughter Abby, who is ridiculously cute now.  To make matters cuter, she pronounces the letter "f" as an "s" sound, so we get to hear this type of banter each day:
"Mama, kitty cat too sussy cute."  In the preceding … (44 comments)

family: I Had an Open House with My Son Today - 05/31/08 11:15 PM
I held my first open house today in over two years.  Having actually sold five homes at open houses during my career, I'm not sure why I don't do them more often.  Maybe the excruciating boredom? 
The home I held open today is a lovely and affordable listing right around the corner … (35 comments)
