Unlike last year’s trip to Odessa (blog entry; photos), this time we weren’t passing through to somewhere else; Odessa was our destination. Six days after Rebecca’s baptism (blog entry; photos), her second cousin Dylan Herrera got baptized, and we’d planned to be there for it even before we’d scheduled Rebecca’s event. (6 images after the[...]
(This blog entry describes the recent visit of our friend Kristen, as well as Rebecca’s baptism, two events that were scheduled to coincide.) Saturday morning (Aug. 20) we awoke with a plan to meet our friend Kristen at Austin’s airport before lunch. However, in the first hitch of the weekend, Jet Blue wasn’t cooperating (not[...]
Today is the day. The one-year anniversary of getting the keys to our brand new house. There are no balloons, there’s no cake, and there are no gifts being exchanged. Just this note in my blog. Twelve days from now (Aug. 29) marks the end of our second year in Killeen, but somehow that’s not[...]
1) I suppose the biggest news of the past week is that we finally broke our streak of 100-degree days. From July 11 through Aug. 12, we saw 100°F or more every single day. That’s 33 days in a row, and 53 total for the year. Saturday was the big relief day; the high was[...]
Yes, I’m up before 6 a.m., and I’ve been up for more than an hour. Rebecca was wide awake while my wife was preparing to leave for work at 5 a.m., so they had to wake me up.
Today, we hit our high of 108°F, the 23rd consecutive day of surpassing the 100-degree mark (43 total days this year). The forecast says we’ll cool down to 103°F by the end of the week. Won’t that be nice? Those thunderstorms predicted on Aug. 11 sure look great, but I’ll believe it when we see[...]

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[...]
➤ 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[...]
