Or, as Kaeta put it, “Happy Brown Dog Day!” I guess we’ll have to suffer through six more weeks of “balmy” this year.

Here are a few Kaeta stories I’ve been meaning to blog. The other day we had some friends over, and I had a beer with dinner. The bottle was still sitting on the table half-full as we were cleaning up after eating. I was putting a plate in the dishwasher when someone gasped — I […]

Kaeta is potty training, and she’s doing really well. So sometimes we let her sit alone on her potty for a few minutes and just check on her every so often. The other day she was in the bathroom alone, and then we heard her messing with the toilet seat, so Karianne went to check […]
