[image removed] Kodi Morrison, pictured here as a Varnum H.S. sophomore, aims a three-pointer during her final game of 2007, a loss to Eagletown in the Area Tournament. Watching the OU v. Kentucky women’s game tonight was a pleasure. Kentucky burst out to a 8-0 lead and was up 15-2 before the Sooners really got[...]
For years, I’ve been impressed with how quickly Google Maps (and Google Earth) keep up with new developments on the ground. But I’ve found where they’re a little behind. The streets I drove down last week (and again today) what will soon be a new neighborhood are *not* on Google Maps. (Screenshot of Google Maps[...]
I’ll give my wife credit (I always do!): she’s been heavily researching homes for sale in this area, ever since we moved here. Our plan was (is) to rent an apartment the first year, while we got settled in the area and made sure it was right for us; then buy a house. Half that[...]
Sunday, my wife and I took another day trip, this time to Blue Hole Park in Georgetown, Texas . It turned out to be an extension of the Winfred H. Bonner Trail that we’d already been on, back in January (at that time, Blue Hole was under construction, and we’d seen it from a distance[...]
On Saturday, my wife and I went to Mount Bonnell, in Austin, Texas. It’s basically a bluff, overlooking the river (ironically, the river is called “Lake Austin”) and some really nice houses. Here’s one photo from that day: (Copyright © 2010 by Wil C. Fry. All rights reserved.) To see all 29 photos from this[...]
My sister Shari sent us a very nice blue and white pottery serving dish from the UK recently — I think we classified it as a “somewhat late Christmas present.” My wife suggested taking a picture of it in use, since we’ve used it several times already. Now my sister across the pond can see[...]

Thursday, we had a picnic lunch in the park. My wife had just worked four long days, and the last two had ended with us taking a walk in the park. She decided we’d have a picnic lunch there on Thursday. We made sandwiches, dipped out some potato salad, filled water bottles, and headed out.[...]
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[...]
