We can add “bimbo” to the list of words Elizabeth can say. Finley has a cloth doll that used to be Elizabeth’s. We lovingly refer to it as Finley’s bimbo because she’s wearing a miniskirt and is wearing lipstick. (Picture a cloth version of this.) Frank and I have been betting how long it will […]

Last weekend I got a boo-boo. A big boo-boo. An inch and a half long
piece of glass went through my toe diagonally and into a second toe.
The glass had apparently come off the lip of a new pyrex bowl. I

the weekend. Frank and my sister Kirsten conspired to surprise me for
my 30th birthday, so Friday night Frank showed up at the house with
Kirsten all the way from Baltimore. I was definitely surprised, and
when […]
