One of my most memorable Christmas gifts was a little something I got in second grade: a Ramona Quimby diary. Ramona happened to be my hero that year, and I think my love of writing began with that journal. Who would've thought it'd lead to a journalism degree 15 years later?
Santa always seemed to bring the Dougall kids toys we could learn from. Tinker toys, books, legos, even games like Monopoly and Mastermind (and yes, Risk, too!). Even the fun stuff pictured below turned out to be great learning tools. Is this where Rob acquired his skill for managing money? And the humble beginnings of Heather's domesticity?

p.s. Who else misses the living room's killer yellow/orange carpet?

I just noticed that Kathryn posted this post - I was wondering about Rob and the Ramona Quimby diary, much less his willingness to be so open about it :)
The degree in journalism caused me to question the author and breath a sigh of relief.
