Okay, so we haven’t all killed each other yet, despite being in close proximity to one another for several days. So that’s good. As promised, here are a few photos from this season: The kids visited Santa as part of a Santa Walk at a nearby park. It was chilly, and we walked REALLY FAST to see all the...

Holidays, Part I.

I really don’t have a lot to say about Christmas this year, mainly because ours was blissfully uneventful. I do have some photos though, which I will post when I can. What can I say? I’ve been lax. Until then, this will have to keep everyone occupied – it certainly kept me occupied with hours of coding...
Bahamian Rhapsody.
Wednesday, December 23 2009 - Travel
About a year ago we decided to take a cruise to the Bahamas. We planned and plotted and researched and paid and lo, last Thursday the Big Bahamian Cruise finally arrived. The flight we were taking required waking up at 3 a.m. (Greg and I were up at 2:30, of course) in order to be at the airport by 4...

Yes, we have returned from the Bahamas. I’ll cobble together a post about it shortly, but Christmas cookies are the priority around here today. Here’s a post to tide you over until I can put a Bahamian post together. Someone in the following photos has had a few too many beers: Can you guess which? I...
Bahamas-Bound.

We’re on our way to the Bahamas and won’t be back until the 22nd, but here’s a conversation I had Wednesday with Ethan, just to tide you over: Me: Ethan, you know, it’s really warm where we’re going. Ethan: You mean it’s warm even when it’s cold? Me: Yes, it’s warm there even when it’s cold here. In...
The Reason I May Look a Little Wild-Eyed Crazy When Next You See Me.

Yesterday while waiting in line to pick Laurel up from school, I logged every question Ethan asked me in the span of 10 minutes . Here they are, with my answers in italics: “Do bucket trucks have sirens?” No. “ Why don’t they?” Because they are not emergency vehicles. “ Then what are they?” Utility vehicles...

Teaching the Future Subjunctive.

Laurel is a terrific speller. So good, in fact, that when she writes spelling sentences I look them over not for obvious spelling/grammatical errors, but to give her help with the subtleties of the English language (plus, have you read some of her sentences? They’re hilarious!). I am no grammarian, but...

Entering the Orthodontia Bubble.
Tuesday, December 01 2009 - Family
Laurel’s got some jacked-up teeth. Kid’s got fangs. Really! So the dentist said we needed to go forth and get braces for her teeth. We were happy about this; Laurel is mourning her impending loss of fangs. Today was the day she got her braces. And it won’t be long until her teeth are worthy of dental...
