Shot in the Arm.

Lexie got shot in the arm today. Don't worry, it was done by a nurse in a controlled environment to create an immunization to a dangerous disease. She took it well. The doctors and nurses really like her. They like us too. I think that's beca...

The first of our children to have her golden birthday is our youngest. Little Lexie turned one today. She will go down in history with about 15 percent of the population who never remembers the day their age and birth date matched, but that does...

New Nickname

Yesterday Sophie was playing a game pretending that the ground was water. She asked me (David) to carry her over the water, and I told her that she can swim through the water. She did not need me. She said, "I can't swim. I'm a little girl. Y...

Thanksgiving

nobody@vox.com(Bliss in Poland) — Wed, 25 Nov 2009 23:12:06 -0800

This is one of our favorite days of the year. Thanksgiving is the closest we come to an official American spiritual holiday. Granted it is not a holiday associated with any one belief system, but I always wondered who atheists thanked on thanksg...

Morning Run

nobody@vox.com(Bliss in Poland) — Fri, 20 Nov 2009 01:23:01 -0800

The sun was out this morning. About 90 percent of the time Poland is covered with clouds in November, so I (David) decided to take advantage of the situation and go for a sunrise jog. (Sunrise is about 8 am this time of year.) The first third o...

In a couple of days David's Dad and Mom will fly back to America. We have really enjoyed having them here. The girls have had a great time playing with Grandpa and Grandma, and will undoubtedly be sad when they leave. Yesterday we took in some o...

Extra Weight

nobody@vox.com(Bliss in Poland) — Tue, 27 Oct 2009 00:07:52 -0700

I (David) gained 15 pounds when we were back in the US last year. I had been warned that this could happen, but all that time away from some of my favorite fattening foods caused me to eat too much garbage. Realizing that I was at an unhealthy w...

How to Respond

nobody@vox.com(Bliss in Poland) — Wed, 21 Oct 2009 08:55:43 -0700

I was sitting at my computer chatting with my brother over skype when little Sophie strategically placed herself next to my right arm. She does this a lot. It is a good way of getting my attention. You see, it is very difficult to type with a f...
