Trip Log: April 9-11, 2013
April 9-11, we drove to Oklahoma and back for a short-but-sweet visit with my family. Scroll down for description of the driving part of the trip. I’ll focus first on the actual visit.
April 11, 2013
Rebecca is 2.5 years old today. The last couple of days we were out of town — visiting my family in Oklahoma. I plan to write more about that tomorrow. Overall, we had a great time, and this was by far our best road trip with Rebecca so far. The minivan performed well — this[...]

Heather and the boys followed us to Ikea in Round Rock this morning — their first time in such a store. Heather found a few things she needed for her house, while MF and I bought items as well. (On the way there, we were stuck in traffic for 30 minutes; it turned out that[...]

I took the van out & filled up with gas (17.7 mpg on our second tank, almost all of it city driving, and including the one-hour drive through the safari yesterday at about 2 miles per hour), then washed it — a pathetic attempt to remove cow & camel slobber from the day before. By[...]
March 18, 2013
Visited Topsey Exotic Ranch & Drive Thru Safari with Heather & the boys. We saw zebras, buffalo, a camel, goats, elk, and a few others. In the petting zoo, Rebecca bravely walked among the goats and sheep, though she occasionally hid behind my legs when a larger animal approached her. She hand-fed several goats. She[...]

Mowed/edged. Vacuumed. Laundry. Rebecca didn’t take a nap today — fourth time in her life if my count is correct. And she was fine until about 5:30 p.m., when we made a grocery run. She fell asleep just as we got back home. I couldn’t wake her up. MF finally woke her up after about[...]

We left the house at 8:45 a.m. or so, planning to visit my sister and her family before they headed back toward Arkansas — they’d been staying in a cabin at BLORA (Belton Lake Outdoor Recreation Area). I thought it was about half an hour away; it was more like 50 minutes. Still, we had[...]
Feb. 26, 2013
We spent most of the day with my sister Shari and her family. (They’d arrived late the night before and stayed in a cabin in a nearby recreation area.) Today, we went to Purser Park in the morning, where Rebecca played with her cousins, we all threw Frisbees, some of us explored the culverts under[...]
Year In Review: 2012
Much like 2011 (Year in Review: 2011), the year 2012 saw my wife and I focusing mostly on our house/property and on our daughter Rebecca, though perhaps not as exclusively this time. For one thing, we announced in December that my wife is pregnant again, with a birth date scheduled for June 23 or so.[...]
Dec. 6, 2012
In a heavy fog, I dropped off my wife’s brother at the airport this morning. The girls went grocery shopping next. Then lunch — Rebecca’s a regular sandwich eater now. Afternoon: shopping at Kohl’s. And a little house cleaning got mixed in between all those activities. WEATHER: about 10 degrees warmer than average for this[...]

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[...]
- Forgot To Mention: May by Wil C. Fry
➤ 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[...]
- May 18, 2013: More Hotter by Wil C. Fry
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[...]

- May 14: Ikea & 34 Weeks by Wil C. Fry
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[...]

- May 12, 2013: Dry All Day by Wil C. Fry
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[...]
- May 11, 2013: Dry All Day by Wil C. Fry
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[...]
