  • Stumped (or maybe just slumped…)

    To state the obvious, I haven’t been blogging as consistently these days as I once did.   I keep trying to kick my rear into action, but I’m so tired.   I’m only 24 weeks pregnant, and I’m so tired that I haven’t cleaned house since we’ve been home from Florida.   I’m such a…

  • Tales of a Tickle Toothbrush

    Kenny had his very first dentist appointment today.   It couldn’t have gone better.   He sat in my lap first and watched the dentist clean my teeth, then when it was his turn, he was so excited, he did everything exactly as they told him, holding his mouth open for the cleaning and everything.…

  • Home, Sweet (Chilly) Home

    We arrived home from Florida at about 4 PM today.   Kenny is a great little traveller, and Dudley wins the best canine-in-the-car-of-the-century award.   But boy are we tired!!

Then we moved from Arizona back to Maryland, and it all went out the window. Since last June, it’s been…

  • Bedtime Story Editor in Chief

    Every night, after the books are read and the prayers are said, Kenny wants a story or two (or ten).   He has gone through phases…. Hector the silly monkey, baby-Dudley, “Little Casey,” Hoodwink that rascal monkey, and on and on.   Until recently, he was fairly satisfied with whatever tale we conjured.   Occasionally…

  • Insomniacs

    Dudley is starting to rub off on us. He gets up anywhere from two to ten times a night, occasionally because he has to pee really bad, and more often because he’s bored and wants to see if there are any squirrels out who want to play. Because of this, Casey is also often up…

  • Photo Recap

    After several days of technical difficulties, I am finally back online…. I also finally found my usb cord, so I figured that now would be an opportune time to offer a  photo-tour of our last two and a half weeks here in Florida… Though I haven’t managed to catch an alligator on film (or the…
