Today is my wife’s birthday; she got two DVDs and a CD and turned 31 — she still can’t believe it. She met me in her early 20s; she’s now been married to me for 1/5 (20%) of her life. The downside of any of her birthdays that ends in “1″ is that the next[...]
Yesterday, Rebecca received her final RSV shot. She took it like a big girl, only crying for a minute or so. By the time we got home, she was laughing and playful. During the visit to the clinic in Temple, we also saw her new weight: 13 lbs., 0 oz. (5.88 kg). She’s trying very[...]
Rebecca’s initial due date was estimated to be Nov. 26, though it was later upgraded to Nov. 23. Basically, we expected her to be born this week , instead of being six weeks old already. I know it doesn’t accomplish anything to play the “What If?” game, but purely as an intellectual exercise, here we[...]
I dropped my wife off at the Killeen airport Thursday morning. Yes, Killeen has an airport. It’s the first time either of us has lived less than 15 minutes from an airport. I watched her go through the (very short) security line into the terminal, which has only six gates, and then she was gone.[...]
Another week has come and gone. Since we’ve been back in Texas, my wife and I returned pretty much to our regular schedules. I do the housework while she does the work that brings in the money. Since some of her co-workers have complicated days-off schedules for the holidays, my wife gets all the odd[...]
Monday evening, my wife made a wonderful soup for supper. When I asked her what kind it was, she said, “It’s soup.” When I forced her to make a name for it, she said, “Marline soup.” It had chicken bullion, potato, batata (sweet potato), celery, carrots, pork, green plantains, and maybe something else. As I[...]

Last evening, my wife and I took a couple of snapshots of each other. If I’m not mistaken, these are our first pictures of each other since moving to Killeen.
My wife’s first day at her new job was hectic, as expected. She had to get fingerprinted, pick up a temporary gate pass, obtain ID badges, etc., which involved walking/driving to several locations on base. She was a little overwhelmed, but not too much. She’s not the kind of person who gets overwhelmed easily, and[...]
Don’t feel bad if you didn’t read the entirety of my last post. It was so long that I barely got through it myself. The short version is: We got to Killeen, we unloaded the truck and returned it, returned to Seminole for my car, unpacked for days, bought some new stuff, ate food, slept,[...]

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[...]
