Notes from an anthropological dig

I changed my mind on this post. Does that ever happen to you?
It happens a lot to wishy-washy people like me.
Sorry.

I love this! Do they know you are blogging about this? Don't get busted. Are mandles man sandles? Too funny! It was so great seeing you at the game. You've got eagle eyes to spot me like that or it was probably my crazy dancing when Papi hit his Homerun. I go a little nuts when he does that.

i haven't been 'blogging' for what seems like forever--and after catching up on your posts i feel uplifted and filled. thanks for that! i feel like all that you are going through with your children is just around the corner for me, even though my first is just starting kindergarten next month. thanks for sharing and being so genuine and real, to me anyway! :)

I have the first note I wrote to a friend after meeting Greg. It's three pages of back and forth at church. ;-) It's great.

What are Mandles? I'm lame.

I have to agree, mandals could be a deal breaker.

I had to look up mandles in the Urban Dictionary. Are you embarrassed for me? I'll be sure to let my boys know how hazardous it may be to wear those in public (though they are incredibly useful for combating stinky feet).

Me too! I was surprised she had heard of them and had an opinion. Especially since all the boys and men in this family have them, too :)
