It's always exciting when Mom gets a new box. It was September 6 when it arrived, and it was probably the biggest box we've ever gotten. Plus, it was all covered with plastic wrap, and it had these zip-tie things on it. I could tell it was going to be fun to bite on. Well, …
"Foster, have we ever been to New York?" Panda's question, as usual, woke me out of a sound sleep. "I don't think so," I mumbled, barely opening my eyes. "Why?" "Well," Panda began. "Mom was listening to this Audible book about how they built the Brooklyn Bridge, and I thought it would be fun to …
"Hey, Fos," Panda said, waking me up from a comfortable nap. "Do you ever wonder about your mom?" "Dude," I replied, covering my eyes, "I'm trying to sleep. You know I always wonder about Mom. In fact, I think most people do." I stifled a laugh. Panda wasn't satisfied. "I don't mean Mom, I mean …
"Wow!" Panda exclaimed. "It looks like Mom got some new books!" Panda and I were at the Christian school library waiting for Mom to finish working on her latest blog post. We were getting bored, so we decided to look at all the books. Panda managed to jump up to the bottom shelf and was …

It's hard to believe I'm already 8 years old! I should have known that it was almost time for my checkup and shots when Mom started telling people I was eight years old. I have to go every year, and since she sounded like I had just turned eight, that should have been my first …
"Can we help you guys?" Panda asked. We were visiting with our penguin friends in their RV at the Grand Canyon when Panda asked the question. Our friends had just told us about their undercover mission to find out if the men in orange jackets were behind the mysterious orange van that had been sighted …
So, the "Maine Coon Stare" is a thing! You may already know this, but Maine Coon cats love to stare at people. Mom didn't know it was a Maine Coon "thing"; she just thought I liked to stare, unblinking, at her for minutes on end. Mom always takes pictures of me staring at her and …
"Hey Foster, remember when we went to the Grand Canyon?" "Oh, yeah," I replied to Panda's inquiry. "That was our first time going on a flying carpet. Didn't we find that one online?"
