So this is slightly awkward, as WordPress has created a new interface called “Gutenberg” (presumably Johannes and not Steve) which is making for a very strange text editor. I guess I’ll get used to it, but right now it feels like I’m tweeting or something…
Anyway, as I mentioned about a week ago, Daphne has started school again and is doing quite well. **knocks on wood** Granted, there have been a few small bumps here and there, but they mostly involve the other children and their penchant for crying rather than eating their lunch. (This in turn causes Daphne to cover her ears rather than eat her own snack…) All in all, things are going well though.
That said, we think it’s really important that she continues her physical activities. And so we’re continuing to take her to swim class…
Her jumps are getting better and better
and I brought her with me to the rock gym for the first time last week.
Lemme get this straight. I hold on to these things…And use them to climb up there?That. Is. Awesome!
At one point, after no small amount of coaxing and reassurance, she wandered over to the wall on her own and began her very first climb.
Okay. This is harder than it looks, Dad.
Not wanting to push a good thing too far, we left the kids’ climbing area after this and I let her just run around the bouldering area.
Yes, we had as much fun as it looks.
When we’re not at school, or the natatorium, or the climbing gym, we’re hiding inside from the brutal Texas weather.
This is the part of the year where I start to get a little freaky about the heat, and desperation for a cold front begins to manifest. I start to eye my sweaters longingly, sigh when passing over my corduroys in favor of a pair of “dadcore” cargo shorts, and I start to organize my hoodies…you know, just in case.
Daphne seems to have a similar idea as well, as she’s been getting on her tricycle and into her wagon in the afternoons. And I have to sit her down and explain to her that, no sweetie, we can’t leave the house because the Earth has somehow shifted in orbit to 30 miles away from the Sun, and the climate outside has become demonic.
She’s taken it in stride so far.
You are a strange and silly man, Daddy.
Sadly, we’re about 2 months removed from any serious change in the weather to allow such things. So, if you’re looking for us, until then we’ll be found anywhere there’s air-conditioning.

Hi there.
So this is slightly awkward, as WordPress has created a new interface called “Gutenberg” (presumably Johannes and not Steve) which is making for a very strange text editor. I guess I’ll get used to it, but right now it feels like I’m tweeting or something…
