Grace' is the name Bryn uses for Macy when she's pretending that she isn't really a member of our family, but instead just visiting for a sleep-over, as in, "it's been nice having you, Grace, but your parents should be here to pick you up soon.". Your kids don't do that? Tuesday, December 15, 2009. Mary Kate and Ashely for JC. 3) Bryn is either going to ...

Tod and Melissa: A Close Call
http://todandmelissa.blogspot.com/2011/11/close-call.html
It's a good life! Monday, November 14, 2011. The Whitts are not TV people. That's not to say that some members of this family wouldn't. Watching programming that really didn't add value to my life. So literally - and figuratively since our Comcast remote was the only way we could operate our TV - we pulled the plug. There was some initial resentment, but Macy, who doesn't generally like movies and "just wants to watch a show, not a movie, a show! Everyone I know has TV, everyone! I wasn't worried about t...

Tod and Melissa: Before and After the Camera Repair
http://todandmelissa.blogspot.com/2011/11/before-and-after-camera-repair.html
It's a good life! Tuesday, November 22, 2011. Before and After the Camera Repair. When we received Bryn's camera back from the repair shop, I immediately linked it up to my laptop so we could download her long-awaited photos. These first two - taken at Christmas last year - were about what I expected to find from her, and typical of the others she took. Is it really just me? Wouldn't anyone feel unsettled to unexpectedly see this image on their camera's screen? Yeah, probably just me.

Tod and Melissa: January 2010
http://todandmelissa.blogspot.com/2010_01_01_archive.html
It's a good life! Sunday, January 31, 2010. Can 'Baby Brain' be a legitimate excuse.even when your baby is two and a half? This is our dog Lucy in happier, carefree times when she knew she was loved by her family, and could hold her head high. This is Lucy today, laid low by the weight of (near) betrayal and shame, snuggling her baby for comfort. Who's betrayal could hurt so much? Why her own mother, of course. Aack! I'll admit it, I didn't recognize my own dog. And hadn't even been bathed yet! In late S...

Tod and Melissa: February 2010
http://todandmelissa.blogspot.com/2010_02_01_archive.html
It's a good life! Monday, February 22, 2010. 1) Cutting down trees is hard work! And I didn’t actually do any cutting. Well, except when I got to use the chain saw to cut logs; I’m not sure who was more convinced that I was about to slice through my thigh – Tod or me! I’m back on branch hauling duty now. I was quite impressed to see my manly-man shimmy up the tree with his chain saw, but with nine more to go, I’m guessing my job as rope puller is going to get pretty old. It does not occur to me that he h...

It's a good life! Tuesday, November 22, 2011. A Day of Feasts. Both girls had their harvest feasts at school today which meant it was a very busy day for me! Today I am most thankful for my mom, who made it possible for me to enjoy celebrating with both of my little turkeys. Dance of the Decades. Each fall at Bryn's school, the PTSA holds an all-school family dance - the Dance of the Decades. They hire a fabulous DJ who plays high-energy, kid-friendly music, (LOVE those 80s tunes!

Tod and Melissa: Brilliant Mommy
http://todandmelissa.blogspot.com/2011/11/brilliant-mommy.html
It's a good life! Monday, November 21, 2011. Last year for Christmas Bryn received a real, grown-up, camera, (purple, of course), from her Nana. She loved it; loved taking pictures, (often of hostile subjects), and I mean A LOT of pictures. Since this was her first non-kid piece of electronics, I cautioned her - repeatedly - to. With it. This is where my awesomeness begins. (Will it never end? Can you guess what happened next? Yes, I immediately dropped the camera - with the lens extended - and broke it!
