Today, I watched my first bowl games of the season… I’d been interested in a couple previously (Baylor, Texas Tech), but both started at something like 9 p.m., which is far too late for me. So it was nice that Rice (vs. Air Force) and Texas (vs. Oregon State) both played earlier games today. So[...]
Yesterday, my “sick” was mostly stomach-centric, with a little runny nose. Today, it was all in my head/neck — sore throat, cough, runny nose. Last time I was sick was almost exactly a year ago, just before and during Rebecca’s baptism.
I’ve updated my previous entry to add photos of the garage shelf rails… 101°F today… Rebecca played independently today for the first time in a week — we’d been having issues with that … She also watched some football with me in the afternoon; really enjoyed it. She can signal “touchdown” and gets excited no[...]
Being with Rebecca was like a dream. She was in a good mood the entire day, napped late (she wasn’t going to nap, but fell asleep as soon as I rocked her), talked more, played hard, communicated… Watched Super Bowl XLVI.
After a couple of cold and rainy weeks, it finally dried up around Christmas and began warming up over the past few days. During my aunts’ recent visit, we saw 60s in the afternoons and we’ve hit 70°F a couple of times since then. Rebecca made great strides in her eating on the 28th and[...]
Yesterday, Rebecca watched her first Super Bowl, or at least the second half. She slept through the first half. When she was awake, she enjoyed the moving flashing colors on the screen, and she watched me closely as I reacted to the game. Sorry to say, our Steelers didn’t perform well. My prediction was Steelers[...]
Random notes from the past few days: I replaced two tires on my car (both rear tires have been in place since we purchased the Mercury in 2007). One had developed a slow leak, and the tread was wearing thin on both of them. My wife is still trying to get back into the habit[...]
As usual with big football games, my wife and I made predictions for the final score prior to the kickoff of the BCS National Championship. Hers: Auburn 37, Oregon 23 Mine: Auburn 27, Oregon 21 Actual: Auburn 22, Oregon 19 So, in a rare occurrence, my prediction was closer. :-)
To all my real-life friends and family, and to my internet friends: M e r r y C h r i s t m a s ! and
Tonight, we saw our first-ever high school football game in Killeen, Texas. For me, it’s been 20 years since I saw a high school game in Texas; my last one was at Smithson Valley High School, in the fall of my senior year. For my wife, it was her first experience of any kind with[...]
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[...]
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[...]
