It was cloudy and cool (80s) most of the day, never getting close to the 99 that was predicted. I think we scraped 94 in the late afternoon (6 p.m.) Earlier in the afternoon, we went swimming. Had the pool to ourselves for the first time this year. Probably the only time. Tomorrow’s the last[...]

Back yard pool again this afternoon. I got video; will post it later. More conversations with neighbors in the evening; across-the-street-guy got home from his deployment today; his son was overjoyed. Rebecca tried to ride their girl’s tricycle, which made the girl cry. And Rebecca cried when I took her off it. Tomorrow, I plan[...]
Took Rebecca to the pool today (while the wife was still at work). We had fun. She really loves it, and would stay down there all day if it was possible.

Rebecca and I bought more paving stones today; we’re going to pull out my “stepping stone” attempt and just make a path. I probably won’t try it until Tuesday, my wife’s next day off work.

Thanks to all of you who’ve taken the time to view my images on Flickr over the years. I’ve always kept the majority of my images completely public there, so no one has to create an account to view them. I’m changing that a little now.
93°F. Rebecca played in her inflatable pool in back yard first time. Really loved it. I saw The Avengers in the afternoon, only 2nd movie I’ve seen in theater since RLF’s birth. Enjoyed it. (Saw non-3D version.) Put paving stones from driveway to exterior faucet; took about 90 minutes. Came up 2 short; will finish[...]
92°F on May 21. 93°F on May 22. Climbing toward a predicted 97 on Thursday. Woohoo. Monday (21st), Rebecca helped me empty the dishwasher. I stood at the silverware drawer and she handed me one item at a time from the tray. By the time I’d turned and put one item in the drawer and[...]
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[...]

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[...]
