Today was oddly warm. Warm enough such that we put swim diapers on the kids and let them play with sprinklers in the back yard. Jessie has a strange habit of taking her thumb and pushing the back end of her diaper down, often exposing the better part of one cheek to the world. Well, …

The Princess
Jessie was in a fine mood today when I left for work. I said, “give Dada kiss?” The typical response to this is to lean her head down toward me and get kissed on the forehead, but not today. She stared at me, turned her head, and extended the back of her hand toward me…
Jessie and experiencing life
Jessie got her turn on the cute-o-meter. For whatever reason, she wouldn’t go to sleep last night. The medicine must have been working, because she was up, happy, and ready to roll at 11. And at 12. And at 1…. Sometime in that area, when I was with her in her room attempting to wind …
