Swimmin’
June 9, 2008 | Filed Under Family, Recreatin' | Leave a Comment
Summer-time is pool-time. Rebecca’s Mom treated us to burgers and swimming a recreation club in town just before Mother’s Day. We forgot the camera that time which was unfortunate because there were a few missed moments like Zufan immediately sticking her face in the water when she hit the wading pool. We remembered the camera next time we went to Grandma Arleen’s though.
At Grandma’s
May 30, 2008 | Filed Under Family, Recreatin' | Leave a Comment
Zufan and Debabu have been spending a couple days a week at Grandma Arleen’s (my Mom) while Rebecca and I are working. Grandma’s run a professional home daycare for the past 35 years so I grew up making lunches, changing diapers, teaching swimming, and cleaning up puke. The kids have been getting to play and meet new friends.
Third Anniversary

At 11:00 am on Saturday, March 28, 2005, Jennifer Rebecca Wallin and I were married at the Tucson Historic Depot on Toole Avenue . In addition to our witnesses and pastor, we were joined only by parents and a couple of close friends. There were no more than twelve of us present at the brief ceremony, and it was a good thing because it was a guerrilla wedding?we just showed up and hoped no one would tell us to beat it.

Rebecca and I wanted to take a break so we asked Bonnie and Ken if they’d watch the kids for us while we split for a movie.
The Desert Museum

Today we went to the Arizona-Sonora Desert Museum with the Citrons; it was Debabu and Zufan’s first time among the desert flora and fauna. The weather was great, the museum was lively, and our son was defiant so we skipped some of the attractions (but we had fun in the cave). Still, it was a good day any day with family and friends is. We’ll get to it all next time.
The Kerbie

Since Wally and Otis got their own entries, so Kerbie, our alpha-corgi, is certainly entitled to his, appearing in succession sleepy, stately, and solicitous.

Otis, our lab-shep mutt, deserves his own post, too, and at his best looking quizzical

Our cat, Wally, doing what he does best.
Open-house

We wanted to have over friends and family who supported us throughout the adoption to meet the kids and to see loved-ones we hadn’t seen in a very long time. Last Sunday we had an open-house that lasted into the afternoon; even though Zufan still had some energy to smile as we put her in her crib for a nap, Debabu was out as soon as the last guest left.
The Great Gary Gygax!

One of my students recently asked what my favorite sport is. “Dungeons and Dragons”, I told him, and everyone giggled. I was thinking of the passing of E. Gary Gygax, one of the creators of that game that I learned to play when I was twelve and around which formed one of a core group of associates during my adolescence: John, Russell, Chris, Jimmy, and Eric.
