I just wanted to wish everyone a happy new year before it’s too late. Marline and I are going out of town on a short trip (here in a few minutes), for the weekend. We’ll spend a couple of nights, including New Year’s Eve, in Eureka Springs, Ark. , a beautiful little town in the[...]
Our Christmas has started off wonderfully. Here’s a shot of Marline giving our present to my grandmother (Granny Fry). We gave her a 5×7 of us that we took ourselves (very high quality portrait).
I read a story on CBS [invalid link removed] today, which got me a little in the mood for complaining. Click here to read my diatribe against the silly “arbitrary-age” sex laws in our country. (I’ll be back later in the day with a longer blog. Or maybe tomorrow.)
Thanks again to everyone who left comments on my latest post (Holiday Quiz). That was fun. I’ve just finished perhaps the busiest week of my year, with full coverage of the 2006 Little River Conference high school basketball tournament. (That link will take you to My Flickr site, to all the photos I’ve uploaded so[...]
Here are my answers to the “Holiday Quiz,” borrowed from another blogger. 1. Egg Nog or Hot Chocolate? Hot chocolate, with marshmallows. 2. Favorite holiday dish (excluding dessert)? Candy (that’s not dessert, is it?) 3. Favorite Holiday Dessert? Whatever’s available that has plenty of sugar in it. 4. Does Santa wrap presents or just sit[...]
Sounds like you’re really getting into the German experience, Cassie! I enjoyed the story about you guys eating with the German family. (Tried to comment on MSN, but it wouldn’t even let me type in letters…)
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[...]

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[...]

Rebecca woke with a dry diaper this morning and kept her panties dry all day, using her potty correctly all day. We spent the day shifting from (1) us asking if she needed to go to (2) her telling us when she needed to go. And, after three days of holding it, she went #2[...]
Rebecca kept her diaper dry all morning, while MF was at work, and then wore panties the rest of the day, keeping them dry too. She even surprised us by staying dry during a supper trip to Dairy Queen (she had requested an ice cream cone). We put a diaper on her for the trip[...]
Big Milestone: Rebecca is now Three Feet Tall. Not quite tall enough for the WNBA, but on her way. She also crossed the 27-pound threshold for the first time (that we know of; we haven’t weighed her in a while). She’s 2.58 years (31 months) old. Compared to me: My mother didn’t record my height[...]
I woke up early today (because I went to bed on time last night?) and thought that would give me a little more time before RLF awoke. No — her new waking cycle is somehow tied to mine. Perhaps she hears the coffee-maker — I think I’m otherwise very quiet when I get up. She[...]
Houses should come with more shelves, in my opinion. One can never have too many shelves, cupboards, cabinets, closets, and “storage solutions”.
