Apparently, even weekly is too much.  I’ll try to be by more often, but with naps a thing of the past, I feel like my free time has vanished.  I try to sneak by when I can, even if I don’t comment.

Dear Misters Povenmire & Marsh,
Hi!  What’cha doin’?  It’s me again - the mother of the nominal (toddler) president of the Phineas & Ferb fan club.  I gotta say right off the bat, we’re counting down the minutes until Monday when season two kicks off.  Partially, that is due to knowing season one [...]

While we were home last week, Nana (my mother) asked Knute what Puppy does for a living:
“Knute, what does Daddy do?”
The response:
“He makes things.  He builds things.”
Well, the Rocket Scientist does sorta build things that go boom!, okay.  We’ll give him that.
Nana asked Knute what Holly does for a living:
“Knute, what does Mommy do?”
The [...]

I was feeling a little less than perfect this afternoon.  Knute seemed very content to amuse himself by painting sixty pictures at the kitchen table, so I made myself a cuppa, poured some luxurious bubble bath into the tub and started the tap running.  I went to the bookshelf, pulled out [...]

When I go about my day-to-day, there are many times Knute will say a phrase or a one liner, and I will stop and think, “I gotta remember to write that one down.” Invariably, there are so many I have missed over the years.  It’s a shame, really, because seeing into the mind of a [...]

My rather comical small pint has just discovered how much fun art can be.  For about two years I’ve invested in colors, paints, markers, and paper for the tyke to get in touch with his (non-existent) creative side.  Partially, this has lots to do with my nearly OCD need to buy stationery and office supplies, [...]

With multiple degrees between us, it only took the rocket scientist and I about three hours to figure out how to make the Flip work.  That’s pretty sad, isn’t it?  You asked for Knute LIVE!, so Knute LIVE! you will have.
He is the one first in line at the beginning.  You will hear him say, [...]

There were many things I told myself I would do as a parent: never deny Knute books when he asked for them, stick to the schedule at all costs, never be afraid to give him a good wallop when he needed it, and lavish praise for jobs well done come to mind.  I think I’ve [...]

Remember a few weeks ago when the wind suddenly got a little bit crisper, the temperatures left my beloved 80s opting instead to fluctuate between 33 and 67 daily, and the catalog frenzy began to signal Christmas time was near?  Back when a three point five foot wunderkind so near and dear to my heart [...]

Have you ever noticed as the Mommy, you are generally the one behind the camera?  I am actually in few pictures with Knute for this very reason. Last night, Puppy, Knute and I constructed an airplane out of his cardboard bricks.  My son, who looks freakishly like me, absolutely has his [...]
