Be true to your school

My wife and I recently loaded up the family Truckster gary-schneider-family-truckster-03with approximately 90% of our earthly belongings, and took the kids on a little road trip from St. Louis to the great state of Iowa (Now with corn AND soybeans!) to see their great-grandmothers, and make a short stop at our alma mater, Iowa State University.   Over the river and through the woods!

All by myself…

Four days ago, my wife left me alone with our son for the first time in our lives.  He’s two, and apparently still can’t take care of himself.  Also, he’s certifiably insane.  And loud.  And somehow always sticky.  There was good reason to avoid leaving me in charge for so long, but she needed a vacation, and it was time.  I pray she comes back.  The following are my personal accounts of the weekend’s events, recorded in case one or both of us doesn’t survive. Will they make it?!
