We stopped with Andy, Suzy and their kids on the lakeshore for just over an hour. Between about 4-5pm, 8 hours into our drive. It was cool and breezy, but the water wasn’t bad and Timmy got pretty wet. The kids did lots of running around and I think the exercise did them some good.This … Read more
Tomorrow morning we leave on vacation. “Whoo hoo! It’s about friggin’ time! You haven’t really had a real vacation in a couple years, have you?” No, I guess not.

He found four quarters under his pillow this … Read more
Jacob was fiddling with that tooth all during field day today. He wanted to get onto Mrs. Brockhaus’ tooth chart and he’ll just make it! Tomorrow is the last day of school and his last lost tooth was last July, just before we left NC.

The You Tube below will play for you the whole thing. Interestingly, last year Lincoln used a cover of the David Bowie version to advertise … Read more
I’m quite impressed — in 2 1/2 weeks I was able to go from this: From 2009 04 07 Muff_My_Last_Week To this: From 2009 04 24 AFWA_DiningOut (Do I look like one of those ladies from the cast of Dynasty just standing around in a formal gown?) I made it home from the desert in … Read more
