Grocery Bags
It's taken a long time and persistence, but I have now succeeded! Today I bought several gallons of oil, milk, and orange juice, and I did not bring a single bag home! Before Jonathan was born, I could expect one paper bag inside one or two plastic bags for every $10 spent on groceries. Once I... (More)

After much disturbing of the poor robins, I have taken off the paneling over the window and have a lovely view of the nest. It is at a rather awkward angle for the camera, but I can still get some shots. I have a pillowcase suspended from the ceiling about 8 inches from the window, so that our... (More)

I mentioned before that Jonathan likes to take the clothes out of the dryer and put them in the laundry basket. Now he likes to put the wet clothes in the dryer if I take them out of the washer and hand them to him. His favorite part, though, is pressing the button to start the dryer. He can't... (More)
