You eat them. Well, you do if you’re a 14-month-old boy. All of my other children just took the lemon slice, tasted it and made a sour face. Doesn’t everybody offer babies lemons just to see the sour face? Okay, everyone except you. Anywho, Evan just took a big bite out of it and ate […]
My teenagers have learned that blogs are good for complaining about siblings ( http://tommyacaldwell.com/blog/2006/07/20/my-brothers-room/ ) and parents (scroll down to “my parents made up this stoopid rule”).

It sounds like the ‘other’ UT law professor is at a conference this week, too. Mr.Reynolds, if you see Sarah, please tell her to put on more sunscreen.
In my dream house (an old schoolhouse for anyone not paying attention), all the clothing for the entire family would be in one room. Everything would be sorted by size and gender. No longer would I have to quiz a clueless husband and teen son about the owner of a pair of pants or a […]
“Sarah needs her own balls.” “I’m telling Dad you’re playing with his balls.” “Those balls are fun in the dark.” “Evan hid one of the balls.” “Daddy’s playing with his balls again.”
On a whim, I tried tickling Doug in the same places that make Evan giggle and my husband became a giggling child. “Sto-o-o-o-op it!” Try it out on your own spouse and see if it works for you.
