Yesterday, I was sitting at my computer, and Alexander came out of his room with a bemused look on his face. “Mommy, the Easter Bunny is an emergency bunny.” I was engrossed by whatever it was that I was doing, so he had to repeat himself: “Mommy, the Easter Bunny is an […]

It wasn’t so simple after all
For our first Christmas together, I bought Carole a subscription to Real Simple, which she loved but never got around to getting for herself. It’s been coming ever since.

“And what do you do?”
I’ve subscribed to an e-mail newsletter from Tim Larkin, a former SEAL who’s developed a self-defense system he calls Target Focus Training.

Something funny that my Grandma made
I’ll probably post many more things like this, but this is the only one I have a picture of right now:
It’s called a DAMN-IT DOLL.

Sunday, October 7
After a rather restless night thanks to Christina’s restlessness, the kids were up around 7:00. I got their breakfasts and was awake enough by then that I just stayed up. Carole came out sooner than I expected, so we polished off the oatmeal and we actually had some quality time with the kids […]
