My friend Amy knit Francis this hat for Christmas. Francis wore it around the house today for the better part of the afternoon. Thanks Amy – we love it!

In a seldom-used cupboard hidden in my mom’s kitchen, the King of Beers is enthroned with a dusty crown. I’m guessing that my mom has been the caretaker of this six-pack of Bud at least since the mid-seventies. The age estimate is based on the cans’ lack of taper, the pull tabs, and the $1.55 price. Can anyone help refine that date? Anyone have similarly unlikely food items? This Esquire article, about NBC’s recurring collaboration with a group called “Perverted Justice,” is captivating. This piece suggests an inappropriate lack of distance between entertainment and investigative decisions in the nationally televised apprehension of suspected sex offenders. NBC responds. via kottke Last night, as we celebrated my sister’s birthday at a Mexican restaurant in Amarillo, Francis and I invested a dollar in one of those machines in which you try to pick up a stuffed animal with a three-pronged crane. For a dollar, we had two tries, and both were (as I’m sure they are designed to be) very nearly fruitful. After consoling her, I noticed that an older man had been watching. He looked to be in his early sixties, and he had tears in his eyes as he told me about plugging quarters into such machines 20 years ago for his daughters, who are now grown. I’ve heard his advice many times in the last three years – “cherish these moments” – but something tells me that no matter how many of these moments we have, I’ll someday wish there had been more. “Me-la” the playdoh snake was created a few days ago, along with a plateful of other multi-colored reptiles. The days have gotten longer and longer since the holidays started and Francis’s school has been on break. So long, in fact, that I’ve actually consented to mixing the playdoh colors. Whew – it is getting crazy in the Gulde house. (Humor me, I’m a little OCD.)

Ok, so I thought you were suppose to be the creative type, what is up with not experimenting with new colors? Did Francis get the Magna Tiles? Thomas loves them! |

Fulmer Fam - Crap, why do you guys always make me cry on your blog, I am not coming anymore, ok that is not true, but stop already. No seriously with Scott getting ready to deploy again I am being so emotional and sappy about every thing the kids do, like OMG when he gets back Thomas will be to big a boy to ride on his daddy's shoulders, which is his favorite thing and the answer to making everything right in his world. Ok enough, have a great weekend.
