yes, she’s letting that baby nibble on a sucker. p.j. liked it. Tonight was the community parade. Woo. Hoo. Why is it so damned cold here still? What happened to summer? That’s Heidi, p.j., and John. Look at how dark and cloudy it was. The parade was fun. The men above, and a discussion below […]

This week the kids are at vacation bible school all day, so I’m here alone. ALONE! Yeah, with p.j. and also part of the time with b.g. too. But still. They don’t really talk much yet. They’re both in diapers and drink bottles. It’s WEIRD. I told Maria it was strange around the house. There’s

Well. He seemed to love it. Jay laughed when he saw him scrambling up on his rock pile to snap up the pieces. You go, Bernie. This reptile has been living in the kitchen (eeew! I know!) for about 15 years now, and yet he still acts like he doesn’t know us. I approach the

Today the little pool opened. It has not changed. Some of the babies from last year are toddlers now, but that’s the only thing. Ahh, June? Friday? How I love you both. love, Val

Today at the grocery store, Julia wanted a magazine. Real bad. She was clutching it to her chest, eyes closed. It wasn’t actually Tiger Beat, but something much like it. (Bay City Rollers?)

It’s that old Lutheran thing, middle school kids take classes after they’re too old for Sunday School, and then right before high school they finish, and there’s a special
with my grandpa is John Kenneth. That’s Kenneth with him in his arms. John is Jay’s mom’s dad. He was born on a June morning a looong time ago, with long legs and reddish-gold hair, way back in the 70s. (The little kids find that funny, like it’s so long ago it’s unimaginable.) the three
When I say he ransacks my house for me, it’s a true story. He did all this before the kids even woke up. When my mom passes along her old People magazines, you can see why we’re the last house to get them. They’re pretty much done for as soon as they come in the

That’s how hot it is here! Crazy. Julia wanted to go to the little pool, but that’s not open yet. We had to manage with the sprinkler instead. This weekend Jay got the a/c going. We don’t have central air. It’s incompatible with the boiler and radiator system, but we do have window air conditioners.
