Today Casey was a guest lecturer at the Naval Academy (something he’s done a few times before) so I tagged along to one of the classes to see him in action. The professor of the class is a good friend of ours, and his wife offered to watch Kenny for a few hours so … Read more
Kenny has one impressive set of vocal chords. He is LOUD. Most of the time, loud is cute, funny, charming and free-spirited. But occasionally, when pregnant Mommy has an epic headache, Daddy is having a day and Dudley never got his walk and is flying from couch to couch, airborne with the … Read more
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 … Read more
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. … Read more
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!! As we crossed over the Maryland state line, Casey and I did a little math, and figured out that of the 30 months of Kenny’s … Read more

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 … Read more
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 … Read more
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 … Read more
Kenny speaks incredibly well, as I have written often of on this blog. But I can’t resist recording some of his adorably-odd pronunciations of words that he likes to use. After all, the mommy-blog is really part journal and part glorified baby-book right? A record of our lives that we will (hopefully) … Read more
