Cherish this video…Maggie may someday be a great performer of some kind and this is one of her first videotaped performances. (She’s not great at it but she just recently learned the song and the movements.)

For some time now, we have noticed an interesting phenomenon displayed in the behavior of our little Nugget. When we are carrying her and heading toward the living room, especially the couch, she begins to cry. It’s all over if we try to sit down. This happens unless we emphatically tell her we are going […]

Last week I started substitute teaching in the local primary school (K-4). My first class I worked for was 3rd grade on the second day of school. Fortunately the automated computer program used to find substitutes had a glitch and hired 2 subs for that day. No training was offered for beginner substitute teachers (crazy!) […]

Erin, as I think I have mentioned before, loves the band Live. Yes, they’ve had #1 hits and have sold 20 million records worldwide but I don’t really get into them. Alas, this will be the third time she has dragged me to one of their concerts. This one is in Ketchum, ID, which is […]

You know what they say: When in Rome, do what the Romans do. We had the chance to follow that age-old advice last. We went to the 2d Annual Daniel Dopps Memorial PRCA Rodeo here in Mountain Home. It was the first time for all of us and we had a lot of fun. Our […]

Well, I am taking the third (behind the first, buying a gun, and the second, working on marksmanship) step toward becoming a real hunter: I am taking the hunter’s safety course for the state of Idaho this week. Time wise, it’s pretty demanding: M-F 6-9pm, Sat 9am-12pm, and again on the following Mon 6-9pm. I […]

We officially entered into the childhood phase where mom and dad must read the same book over and over and over again to their young toddler. Maggie, who is never still even when she sleeps, carries her favorite book Where the Wild Things Are to Jason and me and makes us read it 3-4 times […]

We haven’t written here in a while and we definitely haven’t written about Nugget updates in even longer. I can’t write everything because it’s late and I need to go to bed, so I’ll just tell you about one aspect of her recent development, namely her understanding of body part vocabulary.
She can identify, on demand, […]
Fake sausage…forget it

Give me the real thing! Maggie, my sweet picky eater, only gobbles down one thing - sausage patties. Real greasy sausage patties from Jones Dairy Farm. Evidently I am the only one in the family interested in veggies around here! UGh!

*Catching On by Son Volt. I have a kind of ‘love/not really into’ relationship with this band. I really liked their breakthrough album Trace but some of the stuff since then has been kind of so-so. The lead singer, a guy named Jay Farrar, is supposedly some kind of musical and lyrical genius. Anyway, if […]
