This past week, I’ve noticed that Zoe has acquired more language. She is starting to use these phrases in coversation:
“Sure.” (I asked her if she wanted to wear a certain article of clothing and got this answer. Two minutes later, I asked her if she wanted something to eat and got this answer.)
“Oh, gosh,” has [...]

Wow, it’s really dusty here. Glad I just picked up some Pledge to take care of the mess that has accumulated in my absence. (No really, this stuff works great and smells really good, too.) I just took care of 71 spam comments. People find me whenever I post something to Friendfeed or Facebook and [...]

I wanted to write after witnessing my first Eagle Scout Court of Honor and record my feelings before they flit away. My heart was full listening to the scout leaders, Congressman Poe, and the five young men receiving their Eagle Scout Award. A lot was said about the young men becoming the future leaders of [...]

We took a field trip to the Children’s Museum of Houston. We used to have season passes when we first moved here and it was one of our favorite places to go. We haven’t been there in a while and I thought that it would be more of the same stuff, but I was pleasantly [...]

Our first time visiting the Downtown Aquarium Houston was pretty fun. There is a lot to be said for going during the off season. We went through the inside exhibits almost completely on our own. There was an Asian guy there by himself and my mom kept having to take pictures of him with stuff, [...]

My mom is here visiting from Guam. I have known her for almost 40 years and I still learn something new about her with every visit. This time around I learned that she doesn’t like shredded coconut or coconut desserts (aside from Delite Bakery’s Haupia Cake). I had no idea. She likes actual real coconut, [...]

Today after school I had a conversation with Seth that continues from where we left off yesterday.
Seth: I want to tell you my secret but you can’t tell Daddy. Promise?
Me: Tell me.
Seth: I want to whisper it in your ear. [I leaned forward so he could.] Today I told Isabella ‘I love you.’
Me [smiling]: What [...]

Seth came home from school today and sat on the couch with the telephone. He said, “Can I use the phone?” I looked at him and noticed a long thin strip of construction paper unfolded on his lap. I said, “Who are you calling?” He said, “Isabella. My friend.” I had to hold back from [...]

Hey, I managed to call and leave a message on your actual birthday last night, but I don’t know if it went through. If I sound like a complete dork it’s because I am.
Anyway, I’ve got your present here with your old house address on it… you probably should call and give me the new [...]
