Wild One
An autumn wind roaring threw the hills. Partly cloudy. My daughter, fearless. As ever. On a Sunday, a friend invited us to the barn where she boards her horses, so we packed up our little family and drove 15 minutes outside of town. LBD loved the horses. We knew she would. She wanted to touch […]

Day with Dad
Last weekend was KU’s homecoming. My non-traditional student of a husband won tickets to the game from the non-traditional student services. I was at work. Will took pictures while I was away. Blue eyes and blue sky. It was a daddy and daughter day.

our little secret
Sometimes we go to this place where there are no dewy decimal numbers on the book spines. Where the books aren’t free. You have to actually buy them. We go there to read, play with the toys, and visit the sleepy kitty cat who lives there. For variety. You won’t tell the library, will you? […]

Last Weekend
Last weekend we had a visitor. And another visitor. Both were surprises. A chicken and a cowboy. The chicken left. The cowboy stayed. We kept good company. Note: Chicken was not on the menu that evening. She retired to her coop forever. After the cowboy left for the south, we walked around the Lawrence Fall […]

Hot Hot Heat
The temperature has been rising. Kansas in July. But since last Thursday we haven’t so much felt the heat outside as we have inside. Arriving home from work on Thursday evening, I walked through the door to find a drowsy and warm little girl. The next day LBD grew warmer. And by Friday evening when […]

Summer Shuffle
It’s been awhile. A lot longer than I thought it would take before I would blog again. It was a priority that got lost in the shuffle, but I am here. Here making a regular appearance once again. We’ve finally settled into a somewhat normal, although temporary, routine for the summer. I started my new […]

At The Inlaws
As of today, we’re completely moved out of our little red house. The keys have been handed over. Nomads for the next couple of months. Currently, we are living with the in-laws. They live outside of town. At night, you can listen to the wind rock the trees. It’s peaceful here. Next weekend we move […]

Baby Steps
My baby girl started walking yesterday evening. When it happened we didn’t quite comprehend what had occurred.. so we had her do it over and over and over again. Back and forth between us. After the 4th or 5th time, it’s safe to say, LBD is walking. Baby steps for her, leaps and bounds for […]
