We walked down the road to get our tree again this year. Outtake of our Christmas card photo The kids were helpful, as always. And Susie screamed all the way home and for the next 45 minutes at home. Good times.

She’s healthy and fine, but Dr Vallance admitted I was right to think she’d gotten scrawnier again–she’s slid on the weight charts again, maintained in height, and has such waxy ears that she failed her hearing test again. We brainstormed some ways to get more fat in […]
This picture we took for Laura’s birthday yesterday greatly showcases Tommy’s newest look. The other day, he taped something in his hair to play astronaut. When it came time to take it out, it hurt too much to pull, so he just found some scissors and cut it out. Now he has a bald spot […]
