Picture Books are for Everyone
Recently Dr. Peds was sitting on the futon in the family room, and I was sitting on the giant bean bag, the library tote bag next to me filled with children’s picture books that I had requested on hold. Dr. Peds looked up from his phone. “What are you doing?”…

2022 Sunday Night at the Beach: Edition 5
This may have been the most ridiculous Sunday Night at the Beach this summer! The Banana drove the van with Dr. Peds in the driver’s seat, and YaYa and I in the middle seats. (It is so strange to sit in the middle of the van!) We decided to go…

2022 Sunday Night at the Beach: Edition 2
It was another chilly night, but the wind didn’t have quite as big of teeth. The Banana and the Devious Snail and I picked up Mr. TOF from baseball practice and drove down to the Secret Beach just as the sun was setting. We brought towels just in case, but…

New Household Resident
All of his siblings were gone for most of the week, so he was an only child who filled his days with baseball, dog sitting for our neighbors, reading books and relaxing. However, we did acquire a trombone! For a number of really good reasons, Mr. TOF has decided to…
