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[...]
Dec. 19, 2012: Zoo Trip
Went to Cameron Park Zoo in Waco — our fourth trip I think. This time we went in the morning. Rebecca had a great time; she remembered some things. I was surprised that she knew what an “owl” was — she must’ve learned it from TV. We ate at the in-park restaurant (“Plaza Cafe”), which[...]
Oct. 24, 2012: Waco Zoo
Trip to Waco Zoo in the afternoon. As happens often on these outings, we came across a photography class taking pictures. They seemed to be going at the same pace as us so we were with them at many exhibits. One girl in the class was deaf and saw Rebecca signing “more” for more grapes.[...]
Oklahoma Trip Photos
As I mentioned yesterday, I finished formatting and uploading photos from my Oklahoma trip. If you’re signed in to Flickr and I’ve added you as friends/family, you’ve likely already seen them. If not, you can view them by clicking this Guest Pass link (or view the slideshow). In case you missed it, read my entry[...]
Oct. 18, 2012: Sweet Berry Farm
In the morning, Rebecca and my wife went to the grocery store. I mowed the back yard and took my car out to get gas and a wash. After lunch, we head to Sweet Berry Farm.
Rebecca’s 2nd Birthday Trip
For Rebecca’s second birthday, we drove to Seminole County, Oklahoma, to be with my family for a couple of days, much like we did last year (recorded here). This was her third trip to Oklahoma and her fourth visit to a state besides Texas (see where we’ve been).
Oct. 10-12, 2012
We took a quick three-day trip for Rebecca’s birthday, staying two nights at my parents’ house and visiting with my two sisters and a brother-in-law, and all of Rebecca’s cousins. Much fun was had by all. As usual after such a trip, it’ll take me a little while to write up the full blog entry[...]
July 5, 2012: Day Trip to Arlington
Finally repaying my brother for his visit to us a few months ago, we drove to Arlington today and spent the afternoon there.
April 18, 2012: Zoo Again
Went to the zoo in Waco again. We all had a good time. Took the path in reverse this time, making to sure to see some of the things we’d missed before. When we got home, I made tuna salad for our supper sandwiches, then installed the Norbo wall-mounted folding table we’d bought the day[...]

Received 0.9 inches of rain, most of it in a pre-dawn thunderstorm. Perhaps it was the lightning and thunder, but Benjamin was awake from 1-3 a.m. and again at 4 a.m. I got more sleep than did my wife, but neither of us was fully rested this morning. When he woke up again at dawn,[...]

(Copyright © 2013 by Wil C. Fry. All rights reserved.) Benjamin is a week six days old today. (Edited to reflect correct age.) He turned his head from left to right — and back again — while on his tummy on the Baby Einstein gym. Rebecca also did it for the first time on that[...]

Benjamin was awake for a good two hours during the night, feeding on and off and generally just wanting to be held and to look around and listen to us talk to him. So I was exhausted when Rebecca woke me at 8 a.m. (Copyright © 2013 by Wil C. Fry. All rights reserved.)

Benjamin at four days old (Copyright © 2013 by Wil C. Fry. All rights reserved.) The first day with all of us in the house (Thursday, June 13) passed quickly. I honestly don’t recall most of what we did. I think we ate at Chick-fil-A for lunch, Benjamin’s first time in a business establishment —[...]

Morning: Rebecca, my parents and I all drove to the hospital to meet Benjamin. Took a bunch of pictures. MF said she was fine, didn’t need me to stay. (Copyright © 2013 by Wil C. Fry. All rights reserved.)

First photo of Benjamin (Copyright © 2013 by Wil C. Fry. All rights reserved.) The day began slowly enough. My wife went to work as scheduled. Rebecca and I played in the back yard as long as the shade of the house would allow. I should have known something was off; she hasn’t wanted to[...]

Benjamin Wesley Fry was born at 7 p.m. June 11, 2013, at Metroplex Adventist Hospital in Killeen, Texas. He was 6 lbs. 2 oz. That’s all I know as I write this. I have a much longer entry scheduled for tonight, but it probably won’t go live until morning. :-) CORRECTION: 6 lbs. 1.8 oz.[...]
- June 10, 2013: Record High by Wil C. Fry
We hit 99°F today, which is a record high for this day, according to both weather.com and wunderground.com, and the hottest day of 2013 so far. Still, the month has been cooler than the past two Junes. (Copyright © 2013 by Wil C. Fry. All rights reserved.)

Rebecca played in the evening with her friend (“Daley”) across the street. They’re moving in about a month. They played tug-of-war with a jump rope, neither ever winning or letting go — it’s been fun to see her play with someone so equally matched in almost every way, which seems to be rare among children.[...]
