All this was done over the last few weeks, [...]

We are now entering the 21st century

Posted by Jennifer

Got back from a great day at the beach yesterday to find an interesting box in the mail. Here you see Malcolm, fascinated by the contents. The contents:  iPhone, 4G (x2) = love. The kids are amazed and jealous that Mom and Dad finally have the latest technology.  Everything’s up to date, until the next version [...]

Fished In

Posted by Emily

It was quite the weekend at the Mendell’s with several baseball playoff games, my Mom’s retirement picnic (30 years of teaching nursery school), a pilgrimage to ToysRUseless, and Noah asking me what the word c%$# means – some of which will be featured in this week’s posts.

V-E Day

Posted by Emily

It started about three weeks ago in a casual way. Noah sweetly tells me that he wants to share something with me on the Internet. Can anything possibly good come of this? He sits me down and takes me to a page of water guns. Not just any water guns, but the kind for which [...]
