Jonathan wants me to write that he says, "blaller, blaller, hee haw haw." Noah, on the other hand has some more words and signs. Well, one sign, cereal . Words are "down" (dow), "beep" and "bird" which really sounds like (bee.)... (More)

Jonathan's Shopping Trip

Life cereal was on sale for $2, and we found a $1 off coupon inside one box. So tonight, Jonathan bought a box of cereal with his own dollar bill. We all walked to the store together. Jonathan found the cereal aisle by himself and saw where the cereal was, but had Daddy reach up to... (More)

More Words!

4/8 - We were reading a non-word book about getting a new baby in the house, and Noah would say "baby" perfectly as he pointed to the baby in each picture. He now says it often, sometimes referring to himself, sometimes to my tummy, sometimes to a picture of another baby, sometimes randomly.... (More)

Easter Stargazing

We had Easter dinner at the Venables with four families (total.) It was a fun time and we got home after it was fully dark. As I was getting Noah out of the car I noticed that the sky was perfectly clear and the stars were shining as much as you can expect in a city. I saw... (More)

Fun for the Morning

I woke up this morning to find Taiwan's Yahoo server rejecting emails that were supposedly sent using my server. I originally figured it was the regular old spammer trick of using invalid return addresses until I noticed that it was one of my servers who was reporting the failure, rather... (More)

House Search

As some of you know, we have been looking for a house for the last couple of months, and we think we have found one! I asked a couple guys from church to come look at it today, and give their thoughts, and they generally approved. Someday, I'll probably make the kitchen nicer (ie.... (More)

Catch-up

2/9 - Jonathan: "What does special mean?" I say something about someone/thing that someone cares for. "How much do you care for me?" Well, I don't think I can really measure that. "Well, you may care for me abundantly. " 2/12 - Noah is putting the dipthongs into his "hi" and... (More)

Remote Access

I finally decided to buy a wireless card for my laptop that uses the cell phone network, as opposed to plain wi-fi. This will allow me to have more/better access when I am not in range of a wifi access point (say, hypothetically, if one were to travel to Middleburg, Virginia to a house... (More)

Noah Will Be A Big Brother!

Last week (actually within the span of three days) four people asked me if I am pregnant. Really, you ask? Yes, really, they did. One of them was Jonathan, whom you have read has been praying fervently for a little sister, and has not yet learned that you don't ask women that... (More)

Taxes

Whew... For some reason, taxes took longer than they have in other years. Part of the time was spent trying to get out of a federal tax penalty for not calculating the estimated taxes correctly. We spent 14.63 hours (courtesy of worklog ), mostly together working on them. I... (More)

Christmas/Vacation/Home Again

Can I condense three weeks of activities into one post? We'll see how it turns out. One thing we discovered at Christmastime is that Noah loves cocktail sauce. He just dipped his finger in and licked it off, licked the bowl clean and wanted more! We had Christmas at... (More)

Jonathan In A Day

Yesterday, Jonathan did and said several things of note. He counted to 100 all by himself! (He still has to think really hard and is not consistent yet, but he did it once.) He asked how to spell "tub" and "bath" and then said,... (More)

Smile For The Camera

I somehow missed when Street View (and for that matter - Terrain ) showed up on Google Maps. I am not sure when that happened. Actually, now that I look at the demo video, I did see the demo before, but I hadn't seen when it came to our house. You can't quite see how ripe our... (More)

Walking Adventure: 3 vegetables: 2 guys: 2 miles: 1 bathroom stop

I felt like going for a walk today, so Jonathan and I headed out, and I let Jonathan decide where we would go at each turn . We talked some about compass directions, and where the sun was, and sometimes he had an idea which way home was (and then would immediately turn so as to avoid... (More)

November in a Nutshell

This month has been full, busy, and blog-sparse. Because we're actually living life instead of blogging about it! But here goes: Noah is experimenting more with sounds. He copies a lot. Still not much consistently, but here are some things we've heard him say:... (More)
