The doggie goes, “Woof!”
Posted by E-George on December 31, 2009
This deserved a post of its own and here’s why: There are fleeting moments when a child does something so darn cute that you think you’ll die on the spot from the hot magma of love and delight that tidal waves the senses. And, if you’re lucky enough to catch it on video [...]

Finding winter’s funny bone
Posted by E-George on
Winter is not my season. There are only a handful of people I know who relish the winter months and delight in the onset of snow or other wintery inclementness. <Tangent: One of my favorite people, Charlie, once remarked when stepping out into air that had suddenly turned unpleasantly brisk, “Oh yeah… 70 [...]

Posted by E-George on December 7, 2009
Evelyn turned 12 months old in September, and a lot of changes occurred. We moved into a new house, Evelyn started walking, Matthew’s family came for a visit, and we had Evelyn’s birthday party.
Let’s start with the new house part. We sold the house that Matthew bought when he moved to [...]
