The high is 88 degrees in Tucson. Warm and sunshiny with a beautiful breeze to temper the heat of high noon. On spring days like today, the girls spend hours in our yard. It's the small kind of backyard that is typical of newer subdivisions, but Tim worked his magic several years ago and it's […]

Bedtime. In a parent's dictionary, the words "bedtime" and "peace" would probably be synonymous. The late afternoon is a blur of activity for us - making and eating dinner, going on a family walk, bathtime, push-ups and sit-ups by the bath, pajamas, brushing teeth, brushing hair, nursing the baby.
