Rebecca had another rare 100% day — neither MF nor I could make a single complaint about her behavior all day long. We made a morning trip to Wal-Mart, including buying a larger kitchen garbage receptacle (more than double the previous size). For lunch, we tried a place we hadn’t visited before, Billy Bob’s Burgers,[...]
I recently compared several online mapping services, using various criteria, and determined that Bing was the best — at least for our neighborhood. One of the criterion I used was the updated nature of the satellite images (Bing won that category). But a day or two ago, Google Maps released new satellite images for our[...]

[I was incorrect in a previous post; not sure why. Aug. 17 is the actual date we got the keys to the house (not Aug. 18). So this post is even later than I'd previously thought.] Wow. Two years. That means our house isn’t new anymore. It means we’re two years older than the spry,[...]
Health Notes: Not long ago, I noticed I’d reached 186 lbs., just a few pounds shy of my heaviest weight ever (191, in Seminole), so I started exercising in earnest again. My wife hit a three-digit number that she didn’t like either, and we dug out her exercise videos. For a couple of days now,[...]
Over the past several days, Rebecca has vacillated back and forth between two naps per day and one nap a day, as if unsure which works better for her. It doesn’t seem related to how long or well she sleeps at night. But her night sleeping has improved.
It’s 88°F here right now, which is six degrees hotter than the record set just four years ago. (This is after a few record lows a week ago.) Yesterday, I drove to Austin for the Austin Photo Expo (mentioned last year when I went in May). I listened to speakers Maria Bernal (website) in the[...]
Finally, the rain! Yesterday afternoon, it finally rained enough for Rebecca to really see, feel, and experience it. And then during the night it began raining again at 1:30 a.m. or so, and hasn’t weakened yet. And we have more thunderstorms predicted for the next couple of days. After that, sunny and warm for a[...]
Today, we hit our high of 108°F, the 23rd consecutive day of surpassing the 100-degree mark (43 total days this year). The forecast says we’ll cool down to 103°F by the end of the week. Won’t that be nice? Those thunderstorms predicted on Aug. 11 sure look great, but I’ll believe it when we see[...]
After really heavy thunderstorms on Monday afternoon, the weather has been near-perfect here in Killeen. On both Tuesday and Wednesday, my wife and I took walks in the park after she got home from work. Each time, we walked for about an hour. The air was about 75°F. On Wednesday, we had ice cream at[...]
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[...]
