Staying within the Lines
As I’ve written before, it is stunning how quickly Will develops new skills, words and knowledge. Just the other day, Will was coloring, which he does most days. But this time, I noticed that he (mostly) colored ‘within the lines.’ … Continue reading
Flying with a Toddler, part 1
Last week, Will and I flew East to visit family and friends in Atlanta and Charlotte. Will has crisscrossed this vast country several times so flying is old hat to him. And, the boys (only) flew to Delaware in June … Continue reading

Home Cooking
Since leaving my job this summer, one of my goals is to reduce our monthly expenditures. And after tracking our income/spending for several months using Mint.com, the first spending category I’m targeting to reduce is Food. Obviously, the first item … Continue reading

Last year, Halloween wasn’t a huge deal to Will. He was enthusiastic about dressing up but kinda walked through the motions of the big day. Now this year, things are really different. For several weeks, he’s been announcing daily, what … Continue reading

Reading while Riding
The other day Will was reading one of his ‘space’ books and decided to go outside to ride his bike. He asked for a few pieces of (green) duct tape. I didn’t ask why…just I told him to get his … Continue reading
