In anticipation of moving to our new home (less than two months away now!), we purchased a multi-purpose table for our kitchen, and four stackable chairs to go with it. The photos below were taken in our current kitchen, purely because of available space. The background is completely incidental; this is not the intended location[...]
Yesterday was a busy (and fun!) day for us. After lunch at McAlister’s Deli, we spent most of the afternoon outside the home, a welcome relief from the STD (Stomp Thumb Drop) people. I formerly called our upstairs neighbors the “STPs” — for stomp-thump people, but STD has a much more negative connotation. They seem[...]
Lots of work was done on our house yesterday, though only a little of it was evident from the exterior. From the outside , changes we noticed included exterior water faucets , some roof vents , and a couple of drains . The house comes standard with three electric exhaust vents: one in each bathroom[...]
Yesterday, my wife and I videotaped a walk-through of our new house. (Copyright © 2010 by Wil C. Fry. All rights reserved.)
Today, my wife and I drove out past our new house at about 11:45 a.m. to see that a crew was working on the siding. We decided to come back later when they were finished. We had a picnic lunch at Community Center Park in Killeen, even though it was already 92 degrees by lunchtime.[...]
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 2007, which was an extremely busy year for me as a photographer. It was my second full year as sports editor for The Seminole[...]
Today, our house was framed. To the uninitiated, “framing” is when they put the bare lumber skeleton up on top of the concrete foundation. Earlier today, our lumber arrived, pre-attached in the correct shapes and sizes. (They assemble the framing elements in an indoor factory so the on-site workers simply unload the pieces and put[...]
Friday: With little warning on Friday afternoon (June 4), my wife arrived home from work and decided we should drive to Oklahoma to see our family. I was in the middle of uploading some old file photos to Flickr, but readily agreed that a trip would do us good. While the last of my images[...]
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”.
