We understood that our foundation wouldn’t be poured until early next week — probably Tuesday. I guess the city inspector came by sooner, and the workers poured our foundation today! Again, I was very excited, and hauled my wife over there to get some more pictures. Note: You can always keep up with our house[...]
As many of you know, I’ve been working my way through old photos, deleting most of the bad stuff and uploading the rest to my Flickr account . Recently, I finished 2006, which was an interesting year for me as a person and as a photographer. It was the year I got married (in a[...]
Today, my wife and I met our “project manager” — the guy who will be our liaison during the construction phase of our house. We met him at the building site, talked for a minute, then ducked inside one of the model homes when a sudden rain shower began. It rained for a few more[...]
Thursday afternoon, our home-builder rep called us, saying construction was about to begin on our house. All the necessary permits have been pulled, and all the paperwork is in order. Friday, we drove by and saw this: (Copyright © 2010 by Wil C. Fry. All rights reserved.) That’s a bunch of gravel piled between some[...]
I saw this question on another site, and thought it was worth answering here: Which websites do you visit every day? 1. Flickr (this should surprise no one who knows me) 2. Gmail 3. My Blogs 4. Richard Barron’s blogs (via Google Reader, usually) 5. wilcfry.com
My wife and I are very excited to announce publicly for the first time: We’re having a baby! (We’ve announced it to family members and close friends over the past couple of weeks. Today, she notified her employer that she’s pregnant, so we now feel comfortable posting this to the public.)
For a few weeks, my wife and I had been planning on visiting the Austin Photo Expo in (you guessed it) Austin, Texas, this weekend. She’d even made sure to get Saturday and Sunday off just in case. As you’ve read, she had to fly back home unexpectedly, helped in part by those two days[...]
I dropped my wife off at the Killeen airport Thursday morning. Yes, Killeen has an airport. It’s the first time either of us has lived less than 15 minutes from an airport. I watched her go through the (very short) security line into the terminal, which has only six gates, and then she was gone.[...]
My wife learned Monday of a death in her family, so she’ll be flying out to New York for the funeral this weekend. I’ll drop her off at the airport tomorrow and pick her up on Sunday. It’ll be our first time apart for… I don’t know how long. But she needs to go, and[...]
For those who’re wondering about the progress on our new house site, here’s an update. Saturday afternoon, when my wife left work, we drove over to the new housing addition and indeed saw some changes. For one thing, the builders have marked where our driveway will be in the curb: View Large on Fluidr (Copyright[...]
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[...]
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[...]
