Monkey Bar Mishap

Our family has had its first broken bone. Little Uly fell off the monkey bars at school and got a buckle fracture. He was in good company: His cousin Daniel broke both his wrists (he fell off a swing), and his Aunt Lindsey broke her arm snowboarding on the very last day of the season. Everyone has recovered well.

Birthday Girl

Now, I know I'm late putting this up. That's just my modus operandi, so I suppose this kind of thing will happen a lot. So here's a picture from Lucy's birthday, and if you don't know how belated it is, I'm not gonna tell you.

Do You Remember This Doll?

I just dug up this old gem. Thought I'd remind you all.

It's NOT for babies! It's for ME!

Nathan Hale: Children's Book Author, Revolutionary War Hero

Nate got a call from the Orem Library, asking if he'd do a presentation. The librarian mentioned she'd looked Nate up in the National Library Database and found listed next to his published works that he was no longer living, having died in the Revolutionary War. "I only regret that I have but one life..." and all that.

One side benefit of Nate's presenting at the library--he gets volunteer status, which means no more late fines and free media! I really think the library's coming out badly in this deal, though. We probably funded the new wing of the with our late fines alone.

Street Fighting Man

Who knew Superman was a Jagger fan?
