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.
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[...]
2011 Long Island Trip
We were invited to two weddings this year, both of which would involve cross-country travel and much expense. One was my wife’s family member, the other was her best friend for 14 years. Not being able to conscientiously afford attending both of them, we made a difficult choice and attended the wedding of the best[...]
We’re Back
Yesterday evening, we arrived home from a quick trip to New York (Long Island), which involved several “firsts” for Rebecca. First ride in an airplane, first time through airport security, first attendance at a wedding, first time in a country club, first ride in a car other than our own (a rental car), etc. She[...]
Birthday Trip
We combined Rebecca’s first birthday with her second trip to Oklahoma, and we had a blast despite several negative factors. (1 image after the jump)
Trip to Odessa
Unlike last year’s trip to Odessa (blog entry; photos), this time we weren’t passing through to somewhere else; Odessa was our destination. Six days after Rebecca’s baptism (blog entry; photos), her second cousin Dylan Herrera got baptized, and we’d planned to be there for it even before we’d scheduled Rebecca’s event. (6 images after the[...]
Trip to Oklahoma
Our road trip to Oklahoma (May 9-12) was a great success by almost all measurements. On Saturday, May 7, I made sure the lawn was mowed. My wife worked 1 p.m. to 11 p.m. that day. On Sunday, May 8, while I watered the lawn, we did all our laundry and started packing. We left[...]
Upcoming Trip
I’ve mentioned a few times previously that we were working up to a long road trip. It’s the reason we took Rebecca to San Marcos in March, and why we’ve been taking her out more and more often, to stores and fast food restaurants. So far, she’s been amazing on all these outings, but she[...]
Trip to Odessa and Carlsbad (6)
Read About Day 1 Read About Day 2 Read About Day 3 Read About Day 4 Read About Day 5 After an excellent night’s sleep, we awoke early and checked out of the Holiday Inn Express. I should mention that for some reason this room cost 40% more than the room in the Holiday Inn[...]
Trip to Odessa and Carlsbad (5)
Read About Day 1 Read About Day 2 Read About Day 3 Read About Day 4 Monday morning (July 19), we checked out of Great Western Inn in Carlsbad at 8:46 a.m. MT (9:46 a.m. CDT), and headed back toward Odessa. This time we took the simpler route, which was just a little longer but[...]

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[...]
- Forgot To Mention: May by Wil C. Fry
➤ 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[...]
- May 18, 2013: More Hotter by Wil C. Fry
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[...]

- May 14: Ikea & 34 Weeks by Wil C. Fry
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[...]
