Here’s another JBelle story.
Back when JBelle was in preschool, there was a gas station/convenience store across the street from her school. It was affectionately known to the preschool and Kindergarten kids as, “The Purple Cow”. (There’s a long history to that name that I don’t know enough of to reiterate here.) The Purple Cow was [...]
Every house has them you know. I would suspect that most houses have at least two and depending on your preferences you probably have several of them. They’re small and bumpy and usually not terribly colorful though some are known to sport the occasional red or green or blue bump. They like to hide, mostly [...]
JBelle went to her first skating party on Saturday. She’s never skated before. Ever. Well…sort of. She has a pair of in-line skates that were handed down to her from one of her cousins. She shuffles around in them in the house and a little bit outside. I don’t let her go on the wood [...]

Where’s your favorite place to go? YMCA
Favorite color? pink & [...]
JBelle and I were driving home on July 5 from her staying with my parents on July 4, which was a Wednesday. Wednesday evening is a time we usually gather with our church. Here is a brief conversation that we had:
JBelle: “Daddy, we missed church last night.”
Me: “Well, it was cancelled for the holiday because [...]
If you hang around our family long enough you’ll eventually hear one of our “made-up” tunes. Mostly they are melodies we know with our own lyrics replacing the originals. A favorite with the kids is a personalized version of the Elmo’s World theme song. Well today, JBelle got in on the fun and started making [...]
