There are strong genes in this family. (And crazy side burns) Thanks, Aunt Patty! She’s been fueling Grandpa’s summer camp with daily gifts. We’ve received a solar car, gummy bats, a tiny bike, cotton candy gum that turns your tongue blue, and a few other things that aren’t coming to mind at the moment.
My father is hanging out with Will this week since school is out. So, I figured I’d share my list of places to take a 4 year old that both kids and adults might find entertaining. In Berkeley: – Go on a secret passage walk through the neighborhoods. Berkeley is tied together by many foot […]
When I was in India last year I found it interesting that in my 2 weeks, I didn’t see a single manufactured looking broom – at least none of the flat bottomed, plastic holstered type that we import from China. Theirs looked like witch brooms. Walking home from school one Friday, the kids and I […]
I mentioned a few days ago that Grandpa has been taking care of the kids over their summer breaks. He only had one day alone with Sylvie and as far as I could tell both survived, friends. Tho, dad told me that Sylvie refused to talk to him, and when asked if she was mad […]
One of two I made last night before… the mishap. (the other is pink)

On the ride to school, Doug explained that this was Will’s last day of school before summer break, and then he’ll be hanging out with Grandpa. Will asked how long he gets to hang out with Grandpa. Doug responded 5 days. “Wow! 5 days! That is a long time!” Will can’t wait. Grandpa is scared.
SkiptoMyLou.org is having a book and craft-a-thon to benefit Heifer International. Over the next little while, daily, they’ll be promoting a favorite book and a crafty project. Today’s project is a tutu tutorial. I’ve made a tutu before, and have the makings for many more, but this tutorial is for a practically no-sew, but very […]
Today is Sylvie’s final day of summer vacation, and she’ll be spending it with Grandpa. I can tell he has been a little nervous about the prospect of hanging out with the littles all by himself because in the weeks leading up to this he has asked me many times, “I’m not going to have […]
On another note, we took our son to the world’s greatest pediatrician, today. Dr Jane Anderson at Mt Zion Pediatrics. If you are in the market, I can’t recommend her enough. But, that is not why I’m writing… At 4, the kids get hearing and vision tests in addition to the standard well baby stuff […]
