This afternoon we made it to James’ basketball game. They won, and he played well, and it was great. Before we left I asked him to please play good because if you don’t, it’s not very inspiring. He stared at me. Apparently being inspirational isn’t one of his priorities. They charge us to watch the
We haven’t been there for years, but James asked to go, so we did. He said some of the things he remembered, like the mummy, and the sneeze machine. There’s a lot to take in. I’d like to go back again with Lydia, Tim, and Julia and go slowly and do some of the experiments. Lydia wanted to

Next were the bumper boats. As they stood in line the kids all said the same thing: We do not want to be soaking wet. Let’s just squirt each other’s boats, not actually drench each other. That sounded good. Well there were two young squirrels in the pool we didn’t even know, and they weren’t

Here he is little and tiny. This is an old James story: He was born weighing ten pounds–nice sized baby. But then it took him six full weeks to gain back his birth weight. I was freaking out. Already at a week old I took him to our chiropractor and told him how he’d nurse,
