I need to go start a load of laundry, but then I’d have to fold it. The rain quit. I’d better close the windows. I wonder what Doug’s doing right now. I bet he’s really thirsty. I’m going to fix Evan some milk. What should we fix for dinner? I hope Doug is getting enough […]
Evan completely approves of Violet’s taste in shoes. I’m not a fan of violence, but I’m cheering for Jon Lovitz.
It’s a bit early to post this, since nobody is in bed. I still have to shave Tommy’s scraggly face. He wants to leave his “mustache” so, he should look like he has a dirty face in his senior pictures. Sarah and her sleepover friend are still practicing in the cove. The youngest three are […]

Tommy is trying […]
the mice will play. Are you feeling rested and at peace with nature Doug? Good. Yes, I know you have a mountain of code to write, but I signed us up to blog for 24 hours straight starting Saturday, July 28th at 9 a.m. No, wait. You’ll really like the charity we’re doing this year. […]
Sarah: “Everyone calls us the flag **ores.” Me: “Maybe that has something to do with practicing in shorts and bras.” Sarah: eye roll She’s finally catching the flag after she throws it, but she still stomps on the flag occasionally. My favorite part is when her pole catches the cord on her iPod and the […]
Doug is in the Monongahela National Forest and I am counting the days until his return. I’ve explained this half a dozen times today, but I’m going to do it one last time. He promised to go on the trip three weeks ago and if he hadn’t agreed, the trip would have had to be […]
