Here we are at Legoland! We’re back from a family vacation in not-sunny California. Sorry I didn’t tell you ahead of time, but I thought it might not be prudent to announce to the Internet that my house would be mostly vacant. (Unless y’all are the kind that like to do guerilla gardening. Y’know – [...]
cue: New Soul by Yael Naïm At the mall, walking by the Apple store, spying a new MacBook Air in the window. Me: Hey Henry, look at that! You see that? 7-year-old Henry: What? The computer? Me: Yeah! Isn’t that amazing? Henry: It looks just like yours Me: Huh? No, I mean – it’s a [...]

Forget SNOW FEST 2008! We had PUKE FEST which quickly turned into LAUNDRY FEST 2008. Peter was well for approximately 28.3 seconds, and now he is sick again.
