Dishwasher! and more
We now have a dishwasher in our kitchen, which Jon installed himself (running new electric, supply, and drain.) Yeah! There is also a ceiling fan/light fixture in our bedroom to replace the bare bulb fixture.   Yeah! 5/13 - N count to 10 5/13 - Jonathan's practical... (More)

Reading, Counting, Pulling Up
5/4 - Jonathan read Hop On Pop to us.  It took two sessions because it is a pretty long book.  It was fun for me because I know that was one of the first books I read out loud to my parents. 5/8 - Kids only know what they're exposed to.  When Noah saw the TV in our... (More)

Quotes and More
4/10 - Noah comes up to me, winking, and says, "Mommy, me one eye!"  It was hilarious.  (I couldn't wink until first grade.) 4/11 - Guess which story this is, by Noah: "Let me in.  No, no, no.  Blow up house!" 4/20 - What does Noah say when... (More)

2008 Taxes
I haven't looked at how much time it took us to do taxes this year - I thought we were doing pretty well, time-wise, until we blew 8 hours or so today finishing them off (or is it them finishing us off, I'm not sure which...) I noticed a number of places where the strange, complicated... (More)

News I Forgot to Mention
Speaking of news, I forgot to post here that the closing arguments for Judy's trial are scheduled for tomorrow, and I'll be heading to Pittsburgh to hang out with folks who will be there in her support.  Of course, this might be the first time a scheduled meeting actually happened when it... (More)

Stuff again
2/10 or earlier - Faith can transfer an item from one hand to the other. 2/10 - Jonathan, studying a penny, "This coin says 1 - 9 - 9 - 9.  That's super long ago!"  (I knew my kids would think anything before 2000 was ancient history.) Since coming home from... (More)

Installing clusterssh on Cygwin
Since I am a lazy Debian user, I am not used to compiling things from source.  (sidenote: It is interesting to me how many people from other distributions are fairly used to mucking around in source code, spending hours working on getting a simple package installed)  But, clusterssh... (More)

House Work on Carroll Street
Heather and I spent several days over the last week at our old house, cleaning and fixing various things that our previous tenants broke. It is pretty annoying to have people totally not care about your property, and live in pretty disgusting conditions, presumably to get back at me for... (More)

Stuff
1/23 - Faith's matching lower tooth came in. It looks like she's teething again, maybe some top teeth on their way.  She, like Noah my other early teether, is interested in solid foods already.  Jonathan bought her (with his own money) some little cereal pieces, the kind that dissolve... (More)

$0.01 Credit Card Charge and Cancelling a Card Due to "Low Use"
Mydad had mentioned a news article story a month ago about some company charging a whole bunch of people $.01 each on their credit cards; presumably with the thought that no one would complain about a $.01 charge, and since they charged a million people or something, they made a bunch of... (More)

Switzerland: Back to the USA (12 Jan 2009)
Very early in the morning, we got up, had breakfast and said goodbye to Sarah (all the other Dutlers said goodbye the night before.) Janet and Stephan came to pick us up and we crammed all ourselves and stuff into the mini-minivan. They took us to the Basel airport where we spent quite... (More)

Health Insurance Issues for the Self-Employed
I thought I had written about this before, but I can't find it, so maybe we just talked about it over email. We purchased health insurance through Highmark Blue Cross Blue Shield when I first started working for myself. It was the same plan as we had when workingfor Dynavox, though... (More)

Switzerland: Day of Rest and Laundry (08 Jan 2009)
I was in need of a break from sightseeing and catching trams and we were out of clean clothes.  Jon started a wash as soon as we got up.  I asked him about his eye and he said it felt fine.  Praise God! We hung around, took naps, read, and checked on laundry.  The washer takes two... (More)

Switzerland: Meetings and Rehearsals (01-02 Jan 2009)
Waking up at the above mentioned 2pm left us just enough time to get ready to go to the Renaissance Dance Rehearsal at 3:00.  Janet wanted us to dance to medieval music at the wedding reception and thought it would be a good idea for us to practice ahead of time.  About 20 of us were there,...

Eggs Presnor
This is the traditional Christmas breakfast in the Daley family.  It is too good to only have once a year, and I often make it for potluck brunches.  No one knows where the "Presnor" part comes from. The original recipe from Jon's mom has plain monterey jack cheese, but the pepper jack gives... (More)
