A few months ago, we began the awkward transition between two naps a day to one nap a day. There are times (like today) when Carson just wakes up too early or sleeps too poorly to be awake and in a good mood all morning. But most days, I try to keep him awake until […]
My friend, Anti-Blog Man, recently posted that he and his wife are taking swing dance lessons, and he was surprised that the teacher applauded his skill (or was she hitting on him?). But I was not surprised, having performed this very special song and dance number with him during our sophomore year of college. The […]
If mom is taking too long to put on her make-up, and you need a drink, I guess sometimes that’s your only option. Those felt pads on the chairs make them really easy to scoot.
My little bro recently posted about his Starbucks experiences and the culture of that chain. There is nothing like sitting in a Starbucks with your yummy drink, especially with a couple friends and no hurry. While my loyalty to the green mermaid was forever engrained through his employment and also the moment I tasted a […]
I’ve had the great opportunity to substitute teach both yesterday and today at my old alma mater, Faith Bible. (Side note: I wikipedia-ed “alma mater” to make sure I was spelling it right, and it literally means “nourishing mother” which, although not literally, is a somewhat appropriate term for how FBCS helped me become who […]
A friend of mine had this picture on her blog a while back, and I thought it was great. Reduces me to a blubbering puddle, but still great. No explanation needed.
Really I just didn’t have anything else to post, and evidently I tend to take more pictures in the backyard than anywhere else! These are from last week (was it?) when we had a couple really warm days. As my photog bro has mentioned, bright sunlight is not ideal for good photos, but wearing your […]
This vid is circa 1988, in my first semi-starring role as Harmony, the spoiled songbook daughter of our favorite childhood hero, Psalty. Please notice Peaby walking by with bare feet and Hawaiin shorts, not exactly sure of his blocking.
I think it’s so interesting how babies and toddlers develop attachments to security objects. Some kids need a thumb or binky almost from the getgo; others have a special blankie they can’t live without. We received lots of wonderful blankets when Carson was born–several were homemade. But one special item was a small little blanket/stuffed […]
The other day I was putting Carson’s pants back on after an extra special poopie diaper, and I couldn’t figure out why I was having so much trouble pulling the pants all the way up. These particular pants don’t have a button and zipper, so it’s just a pull and tug maneuver that gets them […]
