  • When Water Wins The Day

      It’s so easy to dissuade a child from a bad attitude. Give them a bucket of water and a ladle. Or a sink full of water and a turkey baster. Or, better yet, a water table. I’ve been in Virginia with Melody and Chris and their children. My task has been to keep Sloane…

  • The New Never Gets Old

      He made his entrance in a very planned, very orderly way. Completely different from his most recent cousins. He wasn’t in a hurry. He was a bit upset leaving “home”. Warden Mark Sibben was born Tuesday morning at 7:57 a.m. Caesarean-section. Not an easy one. I watched my daughter and her husband as they…

  • When Fun Turns Fearful

    We had our yearly barbecue Saturday. Close to a hundred people—all ages—attended. What an outrageously fun time. It was supposed to rain all day, which would have put a damper on water slides, outdoor eating and creative play space for close to fifty kids. It didn’t. The weather evened out; the clouds actually diminished some…

  • Be Careful Who–Or What–You Listen To

    I’m directionally challenged. If the sun’s shining and I vaguely know what time of day it is, I can somewhat guess the points on a compass. After that, everything’s up for grabs. Back in the day, before GPS became easy, I’d stop at gas stations for directions. I carried a notebook for this purpose–I could…

  • What You See Is Never Who You Get

      We began the year as thirteen strangers. From different places around the world. It’s been a journey getting to know each other. Not always smooth. A few potholes along the way. Ten months after beginning, we’ve become family. We didn’t start that way. Our first meeting felt tentative and more than a little uncomfortable.…
