Wrong Holiday
I got it backwards. On Memorial Day I labored – labored a lot. With our basement project starting this week, I had to get (most) everything out and stored in the other garage. Of course I had to choose the hottest day yet this year to do it. As always I had good help. Even […]
Spring Cleaning
Maybe it was the yellow haze I kept staring at Friday evening cutting the grass only in right hand turns? Or maybe it was the new 45 panel rack going in someone’s backyard down the street that caused me to buy some window cleaning stuff, climb up on my roof and wash my solar panels. […]
No Left Turns
My lawn tractor stopped turning left tonight. I wore out the steering gear. Coupled with the handle breaking off our microwave… I might petition to have Murphy’s Law changed to Bob’s Law. At least the Deck Toad finds things nice enough to come back year after year. – b
More Dancing
This is Abigail and Vera “dancing” together. It was taken back in March when we were all at my Mother’s for her birthday. You can see more (but only half) of the pictures from that trip here. – b
Check this Out
I got this thing for my first Christmas. I wasn’t even one years old, so that’s 37 years ago. It’s called Ollie. It’s the yellow – wheeled thing with eyes, nose, and red hair in the back left corner. If you were at our wedding, you may remember Ollie. I have no idea what it’s […]
For the Grandmas and Grandpas
Some Abigail videos. She discovered the stereo this weekend. What you can’t tell from the videos is the volume on the stereo has to be at maximum for any of this to work. Out of focus, but we got some Woofs! out of her. – b
Basement Project
Back in March our basement flooded. It’s flooded before, so what? In March it flooded in ways it hadn’t before, or at least we thought it hadn’t before. Tearing out the carpet, we discovered this was an ongoing issue. An issue that had to be stopped if we wanted a nice place to live and […]
More Daddy Time
Jen was doing something, so Abigail and I had some time. First she found her helmet. Whenever she finds her helmet, she has to put it on. We let her climb ladders without as much as a harness, but she has to drink her milk with her helmet on. With the milk down, we headed […]
Molar Hell
First it was the top ones. A couple of weeks of night wakings, fussy bedtimes, all the things that make parenting (at this stage) difficult. Now it’s the bottoms. They’re making the tops look easy. I think we’re going on three weeks now of night wakings and difficult bedtimes. In bed by 10, waking somewhere […]
