In honor of Will’s birthday, we went to the donut shop this morning. We bought 2 dozen donut holes and one chocolate cake donut with sprinkles to hold the 4 candles. The highlight was Will floating around, today, so happy it was his birthday, and Sylvie, following along caught up in Will’s enthusiasm. Will’s big […]
Will had his first scrimmage on an under 5s soccer team, today. He was so excited, he was fully dressed and ready to go by 6:30AM for his 9:30AM practice. We spent the next few hours bouncing around the house and not eating breakfast. The soccer league sells jerseys, so we had to buy ours […]
I’ve been reading Adventure in the Rocky Mountains, basically the letters of a plucky woman who traveled the Westerns United States by herself in the mid 1800s. Since I’ve been to both Tahoe and many of the cities in Colorado she mentions, it is interesting to read how the landscape and inhabitants of those regions […]
Sylvie has been letting herself into the freezer and pulling out whatever she can find that might be good. Amusingly to me, she typically ends up with good stuff. In this case, a small container of ice cream. And just as before, she let me know with a few load “YUMMMM!”s. Around here, buckets are […]

At the risk of sharing too much information, I feel like I’m living in a cross between night of the living dead and exorcist with all the bodily fluids coming out of orifices they should not. Will has kept things down since the 4th, but it sounds like a fireworks display when he goes to […]
“… so I can take your picture?” (overheard Dad to Will, encouraging Will to shoot a gun shaped popper)
Vomiting ranks right up there with deep gashes, broken bones and ear infections as one of the worst child afflictions. It is just awful. There is something traumatic about waking in the middle of the night to that tell-tale cough and then splat of a recent meal making its exit out an uncommon passage. I […]
We do a lot of “experiments” around here. Mainly we blow the tops off bottles. Sometimes we make rockets; sometimes we use bare cork. The basic ingredients are usually the same – 2 tbs baking soda and 1/4 c to 1/2 c vinegar. I say usually because Will’s been listening to our govt and seems […]
