in which i discover that size truly does matter

Posted in Being Daddy, Conversations, Family, Fun, Kids, Language, Life, Love on July 30, 2007 | 2 Comments »

There are several times in your life, precious and rare, when you really feel like you have a window opened into another person’s soul. They don’t happen that often, but when they do, they create a bond between two humans that can never be broken. Defenses are lowered. Trust is generated. And the world is [...]

Random people at Zuma State Beach, in Malibu, CA.
I don’t even think they knew each other, really.

Until we get on a plane headed for sunny southern California!
Of course, the plane is propeller powered and the flight is non-stop, but the destination is well worth it.
Oh, please—let the destination be worth it.
So, who knows what the posting schedule will be like over the next three weeks. We’ll be here as often as [...]

rpotd: “gotta hydrate”

Posted in Family, Fun, Life, Moving, Photography, Travel, tagged , , on July 27, 2007 | Leave a Comment »

As we were approaching Baker, CA (Home of the World’s Tallest Thermometer) on our road trip to Kansas, I did a quick, internal debate over whether I should ask Michelle to stop for pictures. We had never stopped before for anything besides strawberry shakes (which are very good there, by the way). And hey, it [...]

in which i attempt to explain women’s undergarments to my son in the middle of target

On our way from Target’s restroom back to where Mommy is shopping, probably in the Toy section, we pass by the lingerie section.
Chloe: I really like this green bra.
Me: (without stopping) Well, maybe when you grow up some you can get it.
Hyrum: What bra?
Chloe: The green one.
Hyrum: No, what bra? What is bra?
Chloe: Oh Hyrum! [...]

rpotd: “at the park”

Posted in California, Family, Fun, Kids, Life, Love, Photography, tagged , on July 24, 2007 | 1 Comment »

One of the very first pictures that we took, fell in love with, and actually printed. A nice 11×14 of this one hangs on the wall of our dining room right now.
This was taken by Michelle back in LA at a great park that they have right behind the federal building in Westwood.
It’s not perfect, [...]

rpotd: “look, a train!”

One of the many trains we saw on our road trip, each one of which earned a cry of enthusiastic surprise from our son. Every empty set of train tracks he saw brought the question “where is the train?” along with a tantrum when we told him it was somewhere else.
Apparently that’s not allowed.

I’m done.
And that’s all I’m going to say about that. I’d say more here, but I’d hate to give anything away to those that haven’t finished yet. If you want to talk about the book (like I do), use the Talk page, not the comments below…we don’t want to give anything away to those that [...]
