Since Monday, we’ve been seeing unseasonably cool temperatures, even setting record lows at night. Though it’s been 90°F or higher in the afternoons, it still feels cool and breezy after the searing summer heat wave. My wife was off work Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday, during which we took several walks with Rebecca, each time going[...]
Since returning from our trip to Odessa (blog entry; photos), life has returned to normal, whatever that means.
Today, I’m home alone. My wife took Rebecca to church and I stayed here. Nothing odd about that, until I started feeling strange. I realized it’s the first time I’ve been home by myself since Rebecca was in NICU. And thus, it’s also the first time my wife has taken Rebecca somewhere without me.
Contradicting my last entry, we’re actually doing something interesting besides watching Rebecca grow. Beginning last night, we’re hosting Marline’s friend Valentina for a few days. This is the first time anyone besides my family has come to see us in Killeen.
During the last few days, we’ve enjoyed ourselves. My wife had two days off in the middle of the week, so we were able to go swimming again, for one thing. Rebecca is enjoying the pool more each time, getting comfortable in the water. She splashes with her hands and kicks with her legs (and[...]
Any time I don’t post for several days, you can assume the obvious reasons: Rebecca. She’s much more independent now, so you’d think I’d have more time to blog. Ha. She will play by herself for long periods of time, as long as I’m not attempting to use the computer.
(Note the title is just today’s date. If a personal web log, or “blog”, is supposed to be the online version of a journal or diary, then I don’t see the need for titles. I just came to this realization recently, and writing titles is the hardest part of blogging for me.) Rebecca is doing[...]
I was once a morning person. By that, I mean I used to wake up early in high gear and go full speed until sometime in the evening, when I would slow down and eventually come to a complete stop. That was during my childhood, all the way up through high school, until I got[...]
Today, the forecast high was (still is!) 77°F, though our current temperature is 82°F. Instead of the early morning clouds giving way to afternoon sun, today has been sunny all day. The grass is starting to grow again (though the weeds are growing faster, I admit). I think Rebecca likes the warmer weather, other than[...]
Ever since the warm weather returned (almost a week ago now), we’ve been enjoying it. We’ve taken Rebecca outside for at least a few minutes every day, which she seems to enjoy. We went on another walk Sunday afternoon, on the as-of-yet-unfinished trails nearby: (Copyright © 2011 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[...]

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[...]
