This is Kirsten. This is Julia showing me how she can jump rope with her eyes shut. (Her dad jumped rope and almost jumped into a hole. Dang, don’t wreck your back on dumbness, Jay.) Tonight Kirsten and her little dog were here for supper, very nice. Out in the kitchen, Julia poked Kirsten in […]
This dog came to be babysat for a couple days. Her name is Sophie. She was an excellent guest. We had a good time. We walked up to the park on Friday, I think. Here she’s trying to round up all the balls, but it’s a hard job. Look at the dirt, this drab March

Okay, Kirsten works for a huge corporation with many divisions. This is good. They have broomball tournaments, also good. She signed up. Good, good. She loves broomball. This is a funny broomball story: The team called “Supply Chain” played the team called, “Lawyers.” A guy got his face smashed and cut open across

Kirsten was in charge, and she kept these kids busy. They went to the mall and saw Santa. They made gingerbread houses out of crackers, and NOT from kits: She took them around to places. Thursday she took them swimming at the indoor pool. They were crazy for the water slide. And on her

That’s today. Wow. Here’s Sesame Street as seen from inside a big water heater box I brought inside for the kids to play with. They did–put in blankets, decorated, hung pictures. We cut windows. It was good. See that smile? Great box. Then it was warm enough to eat lunch on the patio. In November,

It was her idea, and an excellent one. Her dog leaped through the air, attacking Sam in the head, sooo excited to be here. I picked up food from the deli and my mom came and it was perfect for a birthday on a Monday. This is the insane card the kids picked out for
Kirsten does! Here they all are, Halloween 1986, her one week old–see her tiny on the pillow? She grew pretty fast for a while. Here’s daddy with both his girls. I love this crazy nakey picture of you Kirsten, one year old. You’re so darn cute, I could grab you up and smooch your neck.

This is Kirsten and her dog, Payton. Little Pay-Pay comes here to get babysat while Kirsten is at work, and she parties at Grandma’s pretty well. She digs holes and chews sticks, and chases Sam around the lilac bush, investigates the trash, and lurks under the high chair. One morning she was dropped off while
This is an old city zoo, and it doesn’t change much. Last time we were here the zebra was eating poop and the lions were fooling around. Today, the zebra was outside, not acting weird, and the giraffes were the romantic ones. I did not take a picture. However, as we followed this gang, we
Help Me, Rhonda reminds me of Scotland. Today we were doing errands in the car, two grand babies in the back, and I put in our Beach Boys CD to combat the rainy day. They liked it. It got very quiet in the backseat and b.g. even fell asleep. Julia was crazy about Help Me,
