Last June Quinn sent an e-mail to all of her family members, inviting us to join the Anderson family in Juarez, Mexico, to build a house together over Thanksgiving break.

I figured it was time to capture Darcy’s undying interest in Mauri’s return. Here’s her “I heard the garage door open” pose. Here’s her “I hear him on the steps” pose. I can’t compete with that, so why try? Well, I’m the only one of us that he lets kiss him on the lips. Otherwise, [...]

Used to be we’d concoct halloween costumes out of stuff around the house. Contact paper, a lace doily, whatever. And not a lot of planning went into it. I’m not saying I think that was better than they way things are now. I’ve just lived long enough to recognize the difference in the times. And [...]
