The Return of Elisabeth
Our daughter Elisabeth returns tomorrow morning after ten months in India. She’s had a wonderful experience, and it’s hard to believe that she’s finally coming home. I keep thinking about when I returned to the United States after a year … Continue reading

The Usual Suspect

We have many friends who always made it a habit to put their young kids to bed early at night, like at 7 or 8pm. We’ve never put our kids to bed that early. It wasn’t due to some philosophical … Continue reading
Ho ho ho
