Sick Kids: The Return!
I guess it couldn't last forever, though I did hope we might be illness-free till at least the fall. Sadly, that is not to be: poor Joshua is ill again, with a fever and "sicking up" (as he calls throwing up ( Read more... ) -
Up!
So on Tuesday, we took our boys to see Up, in 3-D. ( Spoiler warning. ) -
Unfortunate accident on monorail, but it is still safe.
I was shocked and saddened to hear today that there was an accident on Disney's Monorail system.
At the same time, the reaction of people makes me angry - all these people saying "You'd think it's safe" and "You shouldn't use it." The monorail has had one accident in 38 years. It is safe. Statistically, you can't get much safer. You shouldn't ( Read more... ) -
Back from Down Under
Back from Australia!
It was amazing, but ohmigod exhuasting! Most days I was up by 6:30am and in bed at 11:30pm at the earliest - many times later. They kept us very, very busy.

Sad. (Also, my battery does not seem ( Read more... ) -

It feels like so many great authors have passed away in the last couple of years.
David Eddings wrote the Belgariad and the Mallorean series (probably his most famous), as well as a few others (most of which, sadly, I haven't read). I remember well the summer into winter I read those series when I was 13 - and ( Read more... ) -
Pirates! (And belated thank yous)
The sure sign that a five year-old absolutely loved a play? That not only does he ask, as the show ends, if you can stay and see it again. But then proceeds to ask about twenty times on the way home if they can see the show again. And then, the first words out of his mouth when he wakes up this morning? "Mommy, can we see Pirates again ( Read more... ) -
Zackaroo!
Zachary (or "Zackaroo" as we have nicknamed him, a combination of Zachary & Kangaroo) is doing quite well - thank you to everyone who sent wishes and prayers our way. I was really touched by the number of comments, emails, and such we got ( Read more... )
