dave and i have lots of conversations with ellen about various jobs she could have when she gets older. we talk about all kinds of possibilities – everything from mcdonalds to a police officer to a postal worker to a librarian. pretty much anytime she notices someone working we think about it as a possibility [...]

a little less pleasant and a little more mean

i am becoming convinced that there are not even ten level feet of street in our little town. those tiny little inclines that you don’t even notice in a car are painfully obvious to my pleasant** little legs. i bought a bike yesterday so i could start working on becoming more lean and mean (as [...]

here’s isaiah walking around. it’s not an especially intriguing video, but you can get a feeling for how excited he is to be mobile, and see the treasures he likes to cart around. (by the way, he’s been walking completely on his own for four or five steps before he crashes down the last [...]

ellen sayings and isaiah doings

ellen has entered the ‘why?’ stage. she has never been one to settle for boring normalcy and so she doesn’t ask why like most typical 2 and 4 year olds. instead, she peppers us with “what for?” constantly. over and over and over again. just like in the cartoons and the movies that you think [...]

next week is our last week of class before summer break. My prof doesn’t believe in finals and actually gave (what i think is an)incredibly small reading assignment.
