HIKING WITH ELIZABETH( family / holmes / elizabeth )Went hiking with my daughter, Elizabeth, yesterday evening. There's a nice little park in Thompson's Station with fairly extensive walking trails on its south end, near the water tower. We saw an owl, so, with her new birthday-gift SLR camera in hand, Elizabeth shushed and gestured for me to stop while she took pictures. She got some ... read more TAKING ELIZABETH TO SKATING PARTY( family / holmes / elizabeth )
DIVERSITY( family / holmes / elizabeth )Me (folding clothes): I need some of your hangers. Elizabeth: Here you go. Me: Wow, a variety of hanger types, thanks. Elizabeth: Well, I am diverse! Her friends are diverse, actually, but it's an inside joke with us about her overbearingly liberal school whose biggest source of pri... read more YOU SAYING I'M UGLY?( family / holmes / elizabeth )I was explaining to my 9-year-old daughter what networking is, and that I'm not very good at it. She said, That's because a lot of people judge you by your looks. And you're not ...You trying to say I'm ugly?I don't think so, she said, but other people do, yeah.Don't you just love kids?... read more I LOVE MY DAUGHTER( family / holmes / elizabeth )There's something on the kitchen counter. I'm thinking it's a shriveled, rotting potato. Not that we usually have that sort of thing on the counter, but that's what I'm thinking. I point at it and ask my wife, What is that?Elizabeth's rock, wife deadpans. She's convinced it's a fossilized dinosaur tooth.... read more SUNDAY RIDE( family / holmes / elizabeth )

LESSON LEARNED( family / holmes / elizabeth )
MONKEY JOE'S AGAIN( family / holmes / elizabeth )This could get expensive coming here on a regular basis at $9-$10 every time, but Tara had a coupon that made it half price. We're at monkeyjoes.comthe new one in Brentwood/Cool Springs . Much better than the one north of town near Rivergate. Much more professional-looking. For one thing, all the bou... read more YESTERDAY AT HOME( family / holmes / elizabeth )Tara had a busy day off. Her basic schedule consisted of: 1) taking our pug Chandler back to animalarkanimalhospital.com/the vet (for the fifth or sixth time the past month) to check on his ulcerated cornea; 2) awaiting delivery of our new used clothes washer; and, 3) picking up Elizabeth from schoo... read more SATURDAY WITH ELIZABETH( family / holmes / elizabeth )
FIRST FULL WEEK( family / holmes / elizabeth )
AN ENTIRE WEEK WITH ELIZABETH( family / holmes / elizabeth )You will not believe what I've been through! :) Okay, maybe it's not been that bad. You single parents out there are laughing at me, I'm sure. But I went an entire week taking care of Elizabeth, our 4-year-old, while Tara not only had to work all week, but also came down with a cold. So, I've had to start her baths -- El... read more ON VIMEO( family / holmes / elizabeth )
AN ENTIRE DAY WITH ELIZABETH( family / holmes / elizabeth )
ELIZABETH CUT OFF ALL HER HAIR( family / holmes / elizabeth )In the twenty minutes that Tara and I left Elizabeth alone, she found some (child-safe) scissors and cut off all her hair. At first I thought it was just wet. Then I realized she'd cut it all off. I laughed and said I was just glad she hadn't hurt herself. A few seconds later, Tara came into the room and I told her what Elizabeth had ... read more ONE HOUR WITH ELIZABETH( family / holmes / elizabeth )We had a list of stops to make. First came AceHardware.comAce Hardware for a clothes line and a no-pest-strip. Elizabeth had rediscovered her Barbie electric guitar earlier that day and brought it with her on this trip. She wanted to bring it into the store, she said, so everyone can hear my music. I... read more HOLIDAY WORLD (2009)( family / holmes / elizabeth )
ELIZABETH'S HOUSE( family / holmes / elizabeth )The other day at the house, we had this conversation:Elizabeth: This is my house.Bill: Your house? I thought it was my and mom's house.Elizabeth: No. It's mine. I'm sharing it with you. Tara and I cracked up.... read more MORE PICTURES OF ELIZABETH IN CALIFORNIA( family / holmes / elizabeth )Bill on Rosie, while Jeannie, Tara, even Shayden, fall for /images/bill-rosie-jeannie-elizabeth-tara-shayden-fa074b29d24233f82ff63547815ba6b8-1600x1200.webpElizabeth's attention-getting antics. ... read more HAD A SCARE( family / holmes / elizabeth )We had a scare a couple of Wednesdays back with Elizabeth. She was at pre-school/daycare when she tripped and fell head-first onto the pavement outside as everyone was told to get in line to go back inside. We figure, being so competitive, she was racing to get in the front of the line when she tripped. She lost consciousness for a second or two... read more SLEEP-OVER AT RONICA'S( family / holmes / elizabeth )
GOOD FRIDAY( family / holmes / elizabeth )It WAS a good Friday. There was nothing religious about it. If you know me at all, that wouldn't surprise you. I was just reading my previous post and wanted to have something more positive this time. We're all still adjusting to each other and getting better at it every day. That last post was three weeks ago and feels like months ag... read more FIRST OFFICIAL DAY OF DAYCARE( family / holmes / elizabeth )Elizabeth spent her first official full day at kindercare.com/daycare yesterday. The teacher went on and on about how wonderful and good and helpful she was. I say first official day because Tara took her to a free trial day last week. Daycare is probably a lot like the orphanage, which is why she flo... read more SETTLING IN( family / holmes / elizabeth )I just thought I'd mention that Elizabeth is settling into her new life pretty well. Tara is her full-time parent, I just appear after work and on weekends. :) Even then, it's Tara who does most of the work. Elizabeth's biggest hurdle so far has been getting used to our pets, three pugs and a cat. She's ALMOST completely used ... read more MORE PICS (12/28/2007)( family / holmes / elizabeth )
