“I think I know why they call it fall,” said Maddie as we walked downtown this morning.
“Why’s that, Maddie?” I responded, the etymology of autumn running through my head.
“‘Cause some of it just fell in my eye. Do you think you could give me a hand here?”

More new car stuff…


The new car in full daylight. Its name has been decided… and will be announced soon.


The car has one very special feature: the Hype Williams backup cam…

Maddie’s new bed…

Maddie got an early Christmas present a couple of weeks ago. Tired of beds that don’t stand up to digging, Jennifer ordered Maddie a special one, a FYDO Bagel Bed from Our Best Friends. These things are great – rugged, American made, and downright comfortable. When we went in to pick it up, Maddie climbed right in…


“For me?” asked Maddie. “This is really all for me?”


Hannah looked on as Maddie rolled around in the bed.


“There’s room for three of me in here!”

Miscleaneous pictures…
