Just a few days ago, on Saturday, we got Rayna signed up for preschool. We’ve decided to send her to St. John’s Creation Kids. St. John’s is our church but I will admit that this is a big step for me. Only a few years ago, I had a pretty dim opinion of any kind […]

And I’m too tired to write much else. Go to our Flickr account (via the sidebar gadget to the right) where each picture is worth a thousand of my words.
Rayna’s Having a Big Day

Rayna is off to the doctor this morning for her three-year checkup. We’re hoping to have her tested for allergies; we’ve been convinced for a long time that she suffers from them but haven’t been able to confirm it. She gets sick every year about this time with a harsh cough, sore throat, and general […]

Rush is a Jackass
March 3rd, 2009 · No Comments
Sam Rayburn was thinking of people like Rush Limbaugh when he said: Any jackass can kick down a barn, but it takes a good carpenter to build one.

After months of saying “No” to everything ranging from “Do you want to take a bath?” to “Do you want some ice cream?”, Kaylee finally answered “Yes” to a question today. Mark it down in the baby book.

Rayna and Kaylee: Looking for a Party
September 16th, 2008 · No Comments
Just a quick post about Kaylee and Rayna. Kaylee is walking more and more every day. This afternoon, she walked five or six steps, turned around 180 degrees and walked back. She’s getting more confident too. The teeth are still trying to come in and she’s been clearly not feeling well as a result. Not […]

One of my pet peeves is the way that the media, particularly TV news, covers presidential elections. Here’s the usual sequence: 1) Candidate A makes some outrageous statement or runs an ad that is probably not accurate. 2) The news programs spend hours debating why the candidate made that statement and how it’s likely to […]

Someone Please Buy My House!
July 28th, 2008 · No Comments
So, what have we been doing in the months since our last blog posts? Besides setting up this website, mostly doing work around the house. In June, we replaced all the carpet and put in new floors. It was meant to be a three-day project but took more like five with an unexpected stay in […]

We have started a new family blog over at wordpress.com. I should have posted this at the time, but it slipped my mind. Anyway, you can get to the new website by clicking here. I’ll leave this blog up as a record of Rayna’s first few months.
