Dumped bags of topsoil in backyard low spots. Went to pool, spent 15 minutes cleaning pool first — all chairs and tables were IN the pool, except for the one table that was disassembled and the one that had been tossed over the fence into the weeds. Swam for about an hour. Lunch at home. RLF nap (2 hours). Small grocery trip to H-E-B. Finished photos from Valentina’s visit.

Today was 103°F, our 10th 100-degree day of the year.
This video is is cuter without sound (I forgot to mute the TV before recording). Rebecca was proud that she drinks out of a glass now, without spilling: (Copyright © 2013 by Wil C. Fry. All rights reserved.) This morning, we went to the Killeen library as soon as it opened, and got new books[...]
Flickr did their biggest change ever this evening. There’s a little more about that on my other blog. I’m seriously considering ending my eight-year relationship with Flickr. If only there were another decent place to share photos (and remember, I said “decent”, so no one suggest Facebook). Rebecca worked on learning my limits again today.[...]
WEATHER: 72-93°F, mostly cloudy RLF requested the playground today, after a few weeks of not going, so I said okay. She wouldn’t walk there; only rode in the stroller. And only played there for about five minutes before she was ready to come home. (This is why we’d quit going in the first place.) She[...]
➤ A couple of nights ago, Rebecca woke up crying about 2 a.m. My wife heard it, rushed in. RLF said she needed to go to the bathroom. MF took her; RLF did. Then RLF went back to sleep. (I didn’t wake up. Noises will prevent me from falling asleep, but very little will wake[...]
After a cooler than average spring, yesterday was the hottest day of the year (high: 92°F) until today’s record high of 96°F. Had a pretty good day with Rebecca (scroll down for photos).

Rebecca did well with potty again today — still working on #2. After an early, short, and surprising nap (she put herself down at 11:50 for just an hour), much of the afternoon was full of fussing and craziness. I got a new debit card today, to replace the old one that was cracking and[...]
(Copyright © 2013 by Wil C. Fry. All rights reserved.) Today, Rebecca — for the first time — went to the bathroom somewhere besides our house. Rebecca awoke with a dry diaper for at least the third time this week, and stayed dry all day. In the morning, MF went to a doctor’s appointment for[...]
(Copyright © 2013 by Wil C. Fry. All rights reserved.) MF took RF to the library in the morning; she stayed dry the whole trip. Tried “Story Time”, wasn’t used to it. “I just want library book,” she explained. (By the way, I’m going to cease spelling her sentences completely phonetically and just use words.[...]
A few days ago, we passed what I’ve jokingly called “the Rebecca threshold” with our Benjamin pregnancy. She was born about 7 weeks before her due date. As of May 10, we passed that point in the current pregnancy. My wife’s at 34 weeks as of today, and about nine pounds lighter than she was[...]
(Copyright © 2013 by Wil C. Fry. All rights reserved.) Rebecca woke up with a wet diaper this morning, but still used the potty. We didn’t use another diaper all day! The generic diapers we buy are about 17 cents apiece, and I calculate that the Diaper Genie refills cost about 3 cents per diaper,[...]
