(I’m typing this on my wife’s laptop at 9:30 p.m. Wednesday evening. I’m sitting at my desk in my new house. My new house! However, the internet is still connected at our apartment, about six miles away, and won’t be connected at the new house until Monday. So this blog won’t get online until sometime[...]
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[...]
As previously mentioned, my family held Christmas on Dec. 19, since my wife and I couldn’t be there on Christmas Day (and we really appreciate that). The two of us left our mutual presents here in Killeen, intending to have a private Christmas on Dec. 25 (today). But, since we discovered the theft of my[...]
On the Lampasas River : Sunday afternoon, my wife and I hurried over toward Burnet County (south of Kempner, Texas), to attend a Christmas party thrown by her boss, Amy. Sunset Over the Lampasas River Banks (Copyright © 2009 by Wil C. Fry. All rights reserved.)
Monday, it was cool and cloudy outside all day, with a high in the mid-70s, so I kept the windows open throughout the day (except for a brief period in the evening when the smell of burnt marijuana wafted in from the back alley). On Monday evening, my wife and I watched Frost/Nixon and really[...]
Just less than a week from now, my wife will celebrate her first-ever birthday in Texas. For me, it will be my first birthday in Texas since 1993 (when I took a semester of classes at San Antonio College, in a welcome break from my real college). That was 16 years ago, and I turned[...]
We got our first rain today; it began sometime in the night and has continued all morning. It’s a very soft rain that falls pretty much straight downward, which almost never happened in Oklahoma. And I think it’s time I described the area surrounding our new home, though I won’t get too specific about location[...]
Our new landlord in Killeen earned some brownie points today. My wife contacted her and we straightened out the water department situation. The property owner will let us stay for two days on their water dime, until we can visit the water office on Monday to start the account in our name. (We’ll pay them[...]

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[...]

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[...]
