In my mind there was simply no way to take the paper out of book reading. Something about dog earing and page turning and the dryness of each page between my fingers was just too much a part of the experience to give up. Then, at one point this week I found myself without a book [...]

Okay, camping doesn't suck. But I'm sure you'd like to know why, even though I went camping last night, I'm waking up in my bed this morning. Here goes.
First, despite having them on three different lists, I forgot diapers again. Not a huge deal. I had enough to make it until morning, but still.
Secondly, Celeste [...]

All the rain up here is really weighing heavy on my plans to spend time outdoors. I didn't really figure out much to do inside, so I'm scrambling to find stuff C will enjoy.
Yesterday, we went for a nice walk in the woods — William's Woods, to be [...]

I've been in and out of sleep for the past 3 hours. I keep waking up from the same basic nightmare: an older (10 or so) kid is threatening C and I continuously handle it in a way that leaves her dead or paralyzed.
The waking up part is a byproduct of the room we're sleeping [...]

Yesterday was nice and expected, but not at all how I like to spend my vacation time. We ate breakfast at grandma's house, then drove to my mom's house. There we walked around the yard for a bit, and then went out for lunch. When we got home the baby napped and mom and I [...]

I found some "Neighbor Net" at my Grandmother's house. It's not fantastic, but, I was pulling photos off of camera cards and thought it was worth a shot to check.

We made it to the pumpkin patch after all yesterday. C wasn't all that crazy about it but she did enjoy the tractor drawn wagon ride on the way out there. Then she ate TWO hotdogs for lunch at McSweenys. We walked around the mall for a bit since it was raining. Then later ran [...]

It's a very rainy morning here in Peru, NY, so our plans to visit a pumpkin patch are on hold. However, we've got plenty to do today and are excited about the day ahead of us.
We're going into the city for rain boots and a nice lunch. Then we're headed back to play games and [...]

The flights went really well. The only trouble we had was at the end of the first flight. C and I were lucky enough to have two seats but, for whatever reason, she started getting antsy. This tipped my mood and we were both upset for a bit until she fell asleep in my arms.
The [...]
