What does it mean when you come home and find this? Is the midlife crisis hitting early? No, it’s just the ladies in Karianne’s book club are getting together tonight to show off their wedding photos, and they’re all going to wear their veils, and hey, as long as you’re putting on the veil, why […]

2 Trips to Home Depot before 10am. If that doesn’t make me a grown up, I don’t know what will.
I replaced 2 sprinkler heads in our yard today. One took 10 minutes, the other took over an hour. And not even in the way you might think. If the first repair took an hour, but I learned something that made the second repair take only 10 minutes, well, I would feel good about that. […]
Kaeta on Communion
I’ve been meaning to post this one for a while. During church a month or so ago, we were waiting for our turn to take communion, and Kaeta was sitting in my lap. I pointed at the people kneeling at the altar, and I asked, “Kaeta, what are those people doing?” She thought about it, […]

Whatever your political leanings, you’ve got to laugh at bumper stickers like “Obamanos.” Or my personal favorite, “Barack Me, Obamadeus.”
Is the white car brokened?
Ever since the car accident, Kaeta has asked me several times a day, “Is the white car brokened?” It seems like she was more attached to that car than we were! She only rode in it a couple of times. Anyway, a typical conversation goes like this: Mommy and Daddy: [trying to have a conversation] […]
“Very Busy” means “Bother me.”
When someone’s Instant Messenger status says something like “Very busy,” or they are otherwise actively avoiding interruptions, I am always sorely tempted to bother them. I never do, but it’s always a struggle not to be “that guy.” I’ve been on the receiving end of that kind of interruption many times, though. When things get […]
