[About two days after Dave forcibly confiscated Addie J's Taggies and washed them over her strenuous objections] ADDIE J [snuggled up to some Taggies]: MMMM, Daddy! These smell good now, because they’re stinky again! [Spoiler: no. They don't.] ****************** JULIE: Oh hey, look, Dave: you know how there’s so much written on the calendar that we can never figure out [...] email this post...Category: Dave, Family, Random Moments, The "J" / Comments: 2 comments and counting I just returned home from Expectation Night at school, and Dave and I had the following conversation: DAVE: How was it? JULIE: Fine. But: what do you think is the significance of the number 42? DAVE: The number of times you fell down at Expectation Night. JULIE: DAVE: JULIE: DAVE: Oh, come ON. You know you fall down all the time. JULIE: DAVE: All the time, [...] So the other day, I came home and Dave was looking all smirky about the face. I spent 5 minutes trying to ignore it and then was like, “For the love of god, WHAT already?!?!?!” ….And he whipped out a catalog that came in the mail for me.

First of all, I spent essentially the entire 72 hours leading up to the Fourth in various swimming pools, alternately drinking pina coladas– seriously. Did you know that people still make pina coladas, because I didn’t know [...] Dave and I spent last week in New Orleans, without kids even– my mother graciously stepped in to take them when our previous plans fell through, which was so awesome of her even though I basically gave her no choice. Dave and I spent our trip acting like adults instead of parents…. which essentially means [...] Dave spent most of Tuesday evening scrupulously scrubbing out Billy Bubble’s fish tank. Gabby even gave me a handwritten invitation to come to her room and bask in the glory. And yesterday, just as I was ready to take the kabobs off the grill, Addie J dumped a new container of fish food into that gloriously [...] email this post...Category: Cameron, Dave, Family, Food, Gabby, Gabby's Artwork, The "J" / Comments: 1 comment so far... …of things Addie J has cut with scissors in the last few days: 1.
