Thursday, November 2nd, 2006It’s been a while since I wrote about my son, so here’s a story from this week. Tuesday night before bed, Judah prayed that I “wouldn’t be fired.” (Where he learned about being fired I’m not sure.) When I asked him what he meant, he thought for a second and said: “Well, I guess you [...]
Happy Birthday, Di

“Mad” good times with Judah
Tuesday, September 26th, 2006+ First grade is starting to rub off on Judah. His newest favorite adjective: “mad.” Everything is mad good or mad easy or mad fun or mad hard. + The transition back to school was mad hard for him, as he cried nearly every morning for about a week. But the emotional turning point came [...]
A reminder how cute he is
Wednesday, September 13th, 2006Monday – Judah’s first day of first grade Showing off his first lost tooth, which became loose on Saturday and fell out three hours later! And, oh by the way, he wanted a spiky new do for school. Actually he wanted a mohawk, but the Christian school he attends won’t allow that, so we compromised. [...]
Final Vacation Post – Catskill Game Farm
Wednesday, August 30th, 2006We’re b…a…c…k from vacation. Judah at the venerable Catskill Game Farm. After 73 years, the Game Farm is closing for good in October. Diana and I both have such great childhood memories from there that we had to take Judah. He made the most of the experience! Photo Set. Despite prolonged withdrawal the first few [...]
He’s now a believer
Saturday, August 26th, 2006Last night, looking at pictures of his vacation, Judah declared: “I can’t believe I did this, daddy. I mean, I find it hard to believe.â€Â
4.2 miles
Saturday, August 26th, 2006Judah hiked that distance to the summit of Hunter Mountain last Thursday. I’m still in awe. We had taken the “Skyride†chairlift 1600 ft. up the mountain, where I half-expected him to wander around for fifteen minutes before getting bored and taking the return trip down the mountain. When he stumbled within our first two [...]
52°
Saturday, August 26th, 2006An unprepared Judah and I quickly discovered that’s the permanent temperature 156 ft. below ground in Howe Caverns. Dairy farmer Lester Howe discovered the underground wonderland in the summer of 1842 when his cattle gathered around bushes in the open sun, unlike every other local cow that frittered away hot afternoons lounging under shade trees. [...]
Better than the movies and even Chuck-E-Cheese
Saturday, August 26th, 2006That was the consensus of three children after ferrying from Newbury Port, Massachusetts, to Shoal Islands, off the coast of Maine and New Hampshire, last Monday night. Sandwiched between two, one-hour boat trips (the second one at sunset), Judah and his cousins Willie and Amber spent two hours climbing the rocky shores of Star Island. [...]
I miss Judah
Friday, August 4th, 2006With me in Baltimore with the Stevens clan and Judah in Massachusetts with the cousins, I’m suffering withdrawal. Here’s JJ with Jacob Stevens a couple of weeks ago on a New York subway.
