Last night Scott stepped outside for a moment. As he walked to the car he was treated to a chorus of “Hi, Mr. Scott!” as the football team ran by.
Do you think there’s a student in the high school who doesn’t know where we live yet?
School is no longer out for the summer and Breydon was awake before six and rousting everyone else out of bed. The boys had picked out their clothes the night before so before I knew it they were all dressed and waiting for the bus. And waiting. And waiting. Because you know that six was [...]
While changing Roegen’s diaper yesterday he told me “that my penis.”
I was in a silly mood so I asked, “Do you like your penis?”
The reply? “No. I LOVE my penis.”
So now that we’re moved and trying to be settled, life is becoming more normal. And by normal, I mean that we have the usual amount of chaos without adding in the challenges of job hunting or moving cross-country. Instead, like families all over the US, our attention is turning to school.

When we have spaghetti I usually strip Roegen down to his diaper. I find it much easier to wash him than to get red sauce out of his clothes. The other night he dropped some noodles onto his lap. Once the food was rescued he looked at me and said “my naked is dirty!”

Partially blocking the exit, hazards flashing, staring at the “Exit 123″ sign while my sons argued over which city is the largest in Montana from the backseat, I waited. The rear driver’s side tire was shredded.
I could have been angry. The move had already been hectic and chaotic and the tire was yet another [...]
I’m still in Oregon.
We received word shortly after my post yesterday that one of Scott’s former students was killed in a car accident. Driver fatigue may have been a factor.
So we’re going to caravan together rather than pushing ourselves separately. While it’s frustrating to put things off yet another day, in my heart I know [...]
We’re about as done as we’re gonna be. The boys and I leave at 7 a.m. Scott will stay for the truck to load and follow about 2 days behind WITH the cats and dogs.
Hopefully things will go smoothly. The last big move we had Breydon’s cat died so I’m praying that Socrates makes [...]
