Trip to College Station
On Tuesday, my wife and I drove to College Station, Texas, to visit the George H.W. Bush Presidential Library and Museum.
Taco Night
Most of my friends and family members will be startled to learn that I made tacos last night. My wife simply watched television while I chopped the tomatoes, browned the ground beef, mixed in the taco seasoning, prepared the serving dishes, etc. It tasted pretty good, I thought. Other than that, the only news to[...]
DL Again
Remember, back on March 4, when my wife and I got our new Texas drivers licenses? It wasn’t true, apparently. We took the temporary paper licenses home, not realizing that the license order had been canceled. So we waited and waited, checking the mail every day for our permanent plastic licenses. Finally, yesterday I called[...]
Wildseed Farms
Saturday, my wife and I wanted to take a drive to see wildflowers. We initially considered the Lady Bird Johnson Wildflower Center , because we’ve heard so much about it. The Center has an excellent and informative website, which informed us that it would cost $16 (total) for the two of us to enter. That[...]
New Master Bedroom
As mentioned in my previous entry, my wife and I moved our bed into a smaller bedroom to avoid noise from upstairs. The actual “master” bedroom of our apartment is 14′ x 11′, which was perfect for us. The bedroom where we’re sleeping now is only 10′ x 10′. That’s just barely big enough for[...]
Moving
I’ve heard that you should rearrange stuff in your home every few months. It’s supposed to give you a feeling of a refreshed space, newness, and help your brain be more active. We ended up rearranging things for an entirely different reason. After my last post, we decided we couldn’t stand it anymore. For months[...]
Guide to Parenting, Ch. 1
(Inspired by the neighbors upstairs, which we can hear clearly through the ceiling) When your baby’s a couple of days old, it cries a lot. It also poops a lot. The best way to deal with the crying, especially at night, is to place the crib directly above the downstairs neighbors’ master bedroom and let[...]
Television for Homeowners
Just about every cable TV package comes with a handful of channels aimed at homeowners. There’s HGTV, DIY, and others. These are channels that my wife and I had never watched before, mainly because we’ve never owned a home before. Suddenly, about a week ago, she was flipping through the channels and realized: “Hey! We’re[...]

- Is She A Wizard? by Wil C. Fry
This is from a year ago, but I don’t think I ever mentioned it. My wife and I always laugh when reminding each other of this story. We were at the neighborhood playground. Rebecca was drawing on the sidewalk using a white rock to make white lines. Two other girls, probably four and five years[...]

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.)

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[...]
- Forgot To Mention: May by Wil C. Fry
➤ 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[...]
- May 18, 2013: More Hotter by Wil C. Fry
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[...]
