Radar of the most important kind

September 29, 2006

We took the kids to a park the other day. It is a park that Vilay has always liked and I have never really found so wonderful. I’ll get to why in a bit. We let the kids run and jump and play on the play equipment for about an hour. Afterwards, we took a [...]

Immigration headaches

September 27, 2006

I have been busy filling out forms and copying documents for Vilay to get the greencard. I will say that while in France it is not always easy to get the 10 year card…it doesn’t require quite so many forms or dollars. It is going to cost us a little under one thousand dollars to [...]

Reaching out into darkness finding friendship and strength from others

September 22, 2006

On September 14th, 2005 Pumpkin Pie began typing out into the emptiness of internet land.  Or so she thought.  Within a few weeks Pumpkin got a few comments on her posts.  She was surprised that people found her words and actually talked back.  She was delighted.  Pumpkin was lonely for English.  She was homesick for [...]

Small town…big minds

September 21, 2006

Coretta Scott King sums up why I enjoyed getting my teacher certification at Antioch University’s McGregor School. It is, also, one of the reasons that I like Yellow Springs. People in Yellow Springs aren’t afraid to question or think outside of the box. The people that live in Yellow Springs are open to the world [...]

September 20, 2006

We visited Yellow Springs today. Yellow Springs is one of our favorite cities around here to hang out. While walking around the town we encountered many cats in the streets and in the shops. After Sweet Bear had carried a very gentle black cat all around a used bookshop for at least half an hour, [...]

Roadtripped up

September 15, 2006

We. officially. have. a. car. It has made our life so much easier and I am now able to actively job hunt. This past weekend we flew into Daytona Beach to pick up the car from my uncle’s house and drive it back to Ohio. Unfortunately, we got lost on the way back. Don’t ask [...]

Sweet Bears says, “Convenience stores are so yesterday…I want my goods delivered to my door!!!”

September 6, 2006

The day after arriving back in America after over 2 years, Sweet Bear started “baby talking” while speaking French. It got worse and worse as the week went on. She even started talking to her father in English. He would just say what she had said again but in French. He has continued to speak [...]

New template

September 5, 2006

I have found a template that I think is cleaner and easier to read.  Please, let me know if anyone has any problems with it.  I have checked it under Firefox and IE. The beautiful picture of the bridge is not mine.  Therefore, I will be searching for a new header over the next few [...]

Thanks for sharing

September 2, 2006

Boy Blue was standing next to me as I was sitting on the floor with him. He was munching on a piece of cake I had baked earlier. While I was distracted by his father, Boy Blue reached into his mouth taking most of the cake out and sprinkling it upon my head. As I [...]

Love taps

September 1, 2006

Boy Blue’s new thing is to give love taps. He will sneak up on you and smack you right in the face. Usually, he is so quick that he will get at least two smacks in before you can move. He thinks it is the funniest thing in the world. My brother was visiting last [...]
