I guess it can't much be counted as "again", since we have only moved once since we have been married, but the song popped into my head as I started to write the title of this post. Since some of you probably don't read every comment on our blog, you might have missed the announcement... (More)

32 Weeks

We went to our 32 week appointment today and the office was much busier than when we've come before. The baby moved vigorously during the exam and the midwife had a hard time hearing his heartbeat. The first time, he obviously moved away from where she had the fetoscope; on the next try, I... (More)

SSH Login Attempts

I think I have written before about DenyHosts , but this evening, it prevented somewhere around twenty thousand individual hosts trying to login to one of my servers. The hackers have gotten smarter - that they used to just try from one host, which was trivially blockable, even manually.... (More)

Fourth Time's the Charm?

I had delayed posting this since I think people were getting tired of hearing about each house that we put an offer on. But, now that this offer has been accepted, and I don't expect too much trouble with the inspections, I figure it is safe enough to post.I said to a friend the other day,... (More)

Someday I'll Just Stay Home and Eat Bonbons

On Wednesday, we walked to the Shursave for a regular shopping trip. The only difference in this trip was the lack of milk in the bottom of the cart, since I had just gotten some at Trader Joe's. But it made a big difference for Jonathan! He pulled the cart the whole way home by himself,... (More)

Conversations With Jonathan

I forgot to write this down before; Jonathan can now spell "Jonathan Daley" all by himself. He used to get stuck after "Jon." He read a book of jokes the other day, and he thought they were hilarious. But he doesn't quite get the concept of "crossing" two things. Jonathan's version:... (More)

24 Weeks

I was supposed to have my appointment last week, but that was the morning I woke up sick. So it was rescheduled for yesterday. I measured big, but I knew I would and she wasn't concerned when I told her I always measure big. My blood pressure was exactly the same as last... (More)

First Employee/Contractor!

I had turned down some work the other day, and as I thought about it more, realized that I was ready to hire someone to work for me. I talked to a dad at church, and he thought it was a good idea, and his son was interested as well. It turns out that he has less programming... (More)

First Midwife Appointment - 19 Weeks

Tuesday, we all went to the Midwife Center for our first appointment. Nancy is the midwife with whom I had my last appointment during Isaac's pregnancy. She said she was surprised to see us, but happy that we did choose the Center. We had a good conversation about the various... (More)

4 Year Well Check

Due to needing to have the well-child visits a year apart and to my previous and current hesitation to use the phone, especially with our doctors' office having this weird new scheduling system, we didn't get to Jonathan's four year checkup until last week. He is 44lb and 42." This... (More)

Jonathan is very often singing or humming now as he works or plays. He knows the first and last verses of Amazing Grace and parts of the middle verses. He likes the "What's in the Honeypot" song from his piano lesson CD, as well as the version of "This Old Man"... (More)

Noah Likes Blenheim

Whenever Daddy opens a bottle of Blenheim ginger ale, Noah takes several sips, too. Tuesday (4/2) Noah thoroughly inspected the dishwasher handle. You can tell he's in a family of engineers! He can say "mommy" now, though not consistently. He also says... (More)

LifeType 1.2.7 released

After a slightly hectic day yesterday, when I noticed some strange behavior on one of my servers, we released a new version of LifeType . While I am not impressed that the bug existed in the first place, I think it is pretty neat that a development fixed was released within 4 hours of... (More)

Debian Installed Relatively Painlessly on my Sony Laptop

I am sure this will excite many of our normal readers, but I have finally (after four years) switched my laptop to Linux. Now that I am using it everyday, it is much nicer to be in this environment, instead of having putty windows all over the place. Perhaps if I had a better... (More)

"Oh, why are we not more holy!"

"Oh, why are we not more holy!", he would exclaim with loving insistence. "Why do we not live in eternity, walk with God all the day long? Why are we not all-devoted to God, breathing the whole spirit of missionaries? "Alas, we are too much enthusiasts,... (More)
