First, thanks for answering the poll — I guess changing/washing linens once-per-week is the standard and I need to be better at it 🙂 Now back to our regularly scheduled blogging. I’m at it again. Now that the school year and academic year is in full swing, it’s time to get involved in stuff again. … Read more
On Wednesday Timmy and I visited the Offutt AFB Community Center for a “Moms, Pops n Tots” (MPNT) Open House/End of Summer Party. Since Timmy was in preschool in the mornings last year, we never made it to the MPNT sessions. But this year maybe we’ll show up when we can, since he’ll be in … Read more
We have a Nintendo Wii. Some of you know that already…Dave got it as a graduation gift last summer when he finished his PhD. But of course the kids have all-but-taken-over it with some of their games. From 2008 06 13 DavePhDDefenseWii As a family we have a great time playing games on the Wii. … Read more
Disclaimer: If you’re a blogosphere friend — who shall remain unnamed — who’s going to write and say “I told you so” about my boys in Crocs, you don’t need to say anything here.

Okay, perhaps I am teaching this by answering Jacob’s many questions — but I really truly had to think hard about whether 15 is 1/8 of 120. And notice the complete sentences about it — I think we might be able to introduce fractions soon… Yesterday, during the thunderstorms, we went to the library around … 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.
Timmy REALLY loves his little Webkinz puppy, named Thomas. This was Timmy’s first Webkinz, we got him at the end of the boys’ preschool year, about a year ago. Thomas has traveled with Timmy all over the place: Timmy sleeps with Thomas, takes him to child care on each day that he goes — for … Read more
Good question. Right now, I’m enjoying Dancing With the Stars, although my enthusiasm is somewhat limited because I was away for the first 3-4 weeks. I couldn’t believe that Steve-O wasn’t eliminated the first week…I guess he was a better dancer than I gave him credit for… I’m also back to a CD-burning spree. Not … Read more
I’ve been mulling this one for a while… I’ve been home about 11 days now. For the most part, things have been fine. I’ve gotten back into the routine…somewhat. I have to admit, having the new Macbook has been more of a distractor than anything else in terms of keeping to the housework, the kids … Read more

So here’s a summary of what I’ve been up to this week (omitting job-related stuff, obviously): First off, a friend from when we were stationed in FL came over from a nearby base for a visit. … Read more
