The pictures Seth had on his blog were minutes after birth and babies look kinda gross at that point. I waited until I had cute pictures to put pictures up. Yes, that is a laundry basket. We haven’t looked for the car seat yet, so this is our portable crib for now. Isn’t he cute? [...]

Crystal had the baby! It’s a good thing too, because I couldn’t have handled much more excitement like the last couple of days.

Well, I had a blog post I was mulling over, but I doubt it’s going to be written today. Too many exciting things going on. First, Elsie made her first all-by-herself knit stitch. She promptly dropped the rest of the row off her needle, but still it was really cool. Then the Ben-Ezra boys came [...]

I just finished reading two books by Louis L’Amour and I am a fourth of the way through a third and, let me tell you, they are fine reading. I never thought I would enjoy Louis L’Amour. He was always filed under “Books that people read and like, but I would never enjoy”. They were [...]

I just found a recipe for french toast in one of the e-newsletters I get (Old Fashioned Living). The recipe itself was fine, but not particularly noteworthy. The great part about the recipe was how to beat the eggs–
“Carefully break eggs into container, tighten lid, and give it to the 6 month old in the [...]
