We weren’t planning anything in particular for Father’s Day since my husband wasn’t even going to be home. He left in the wee hours of the morning and shall return sometime tomorrow evening. That’s what life is like when you are married to a railroader. He comes and goes with the trains. [...]
Last month, I mentioned how my daughter had shown such diligence in her karate that she amazed me. Here she is accepting her honor for all her hard work:
My baby is a brown belt. And moving into a new phase in her class. She is now a teacher as well, with the [...]
I’ll just pass over the general disdain for anyone who may choose to homeschool for religious reasons, and the attempt to portray us as nothing but nutcases living in Fairytaleland, but I do have a question.

When I look into my newborn’s eyes, hold her tiny foot or feel her steady breathing against my chest as she sleeps, I am overwhelmed by this miracle. Overwhelmed [...]
Every so often, someone (half) jokingly wishes that children came with instruction manuals.
