All the Photos My apologies for the five-day delay in posting to this blog… The main reason for that is that I wanted to get all our vacation photos posted on Flickr before I blogged again. So now they’re all up, all 196 of them! You can view them by clicking this link, which will[...]
As promised in my previous entry, here are some photos of my wife’s pumpkin burns. (Click through to Flickr to read the notes on each photo.) (Copyright © 2009 by Wil C. Fry. All rights reserved.)
Monday evening, my wife made a wonderful soup for supper. When I asked her what kind it was, she said, “It’s soup.” When I forced her to make a name for it, she said, “Marline soup.” It had chicken bullion, potato, batata (sweet potato), celery, carrots, pork, green plantains, and maybe something else. As I[...]
Okay, folks. I’m back and blogging. Thursday morning, Nov. 12, my wife and I left Killeen at about 7:25 a.m., after I installed valve-stem extenders on the Buick so we could check air pressure on the front tires. They were low, so we dropped 50 cents to pump them back up. She was supposed to[...]
Roger, Over and Out This will be my last post for a few days, barring any emergencies… We’re leaving early tomorrow morning and will drive about six hours to Seminole. Our plan is to stay with my parents Thursday night, Friday night, and Saturday night. On Sunday morning, we’ll head back to Killeen. If[...]
Disappointed Until about noon today, we thought my wife would get to see President Barack Obama in person. But it turned out to be too good to be true. Because she was on staff at the emergency room at Ft. Hood on the day of the massacre, both of us were more affected than many[...]
To be honest, my wife and I didn’t do much on Friday and Saturday (her two days off). This had little to do with Thursday’s massacre nearby, and more to do with both of us being just a little worn down. We did manage to get out and see A Christmas Carol in 3-D on[...]
Newest Nephew! I just learned that I’m an uncle again. My sister Shari gave birth to Elijah Ruben at home in England, at 3:32 a.m. Nov. 7 (their time, which would be 9:32 p.m., Nov. 6 in Central Time in the U.S.) I’m sure it’s okay to post this because they’ve already posted photos here[...]
Thank you to everyone who called, emailed, or commented on the blog, checking to see if we were okay yesterday. (Read yesterday’s post.) It’s pretty scary when something like that happens nearby, especially when one’s wife is in the thick of it. We’re all calmed down now, and my wife is off work today and[...]
Update (8:20 p.m. CST): My wife arrived home safely at 8:25 p.m. Thanks everyone for your prayers and well-wishes. Update (7:10 p.m. CST): The base is coming out of lockdown. My wife says she’ll now be allowed to leave the base, but every car will be thoroughly searched. It could take two hours for the[...]
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[...]

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[...]
