11/7 - Noah discovered the two cube puzzle that has pictures of six different vehicles and plays the sound of each when the puzzle is completed. He was having trouble with it, which seemed strange to me at this age. He kept getting the wrong sounds playing. I told him to... (More)

Checkups

I'll start with most recent and then go to my pocket notes. Jonathan and Faith both had well child checkups yesterday. As much as it seems like it would be easier to have two checkups together, it really isn't. I'll go back to scheduling them separately. It wasn't too... (More)

I Love Word Problems

I was searching for Noah's first word on our blog (I found his first signed word: please, but I couldn't find his first spoken word) because Faith has started talking a little, and I don't know exactly what her first word is, probably "hi". But, today, she has repeatedly said,... (More)

Noah's three year appointment was at the beginning of the month. He is 42.5 lbs and 41" tall. They did the hearing and vision tests and the nurse was very impressed. She said usually at this age, they can hear the sounds but not figure out which ear they're hearing it... (More)

Lots Happening

7/5 - (oh, yes, this means I have not posted in at least a month...) Faith crawled upstairs all by herself (with Mom behind her all the way.) Noah says he can do it "all mine by self." Jonathan: "The person I love most after God is Faith." Noah... (More)

Faith Nine Months

Faith is 21.8 lb, 29" tall. Those are both 90th percentile. Everything checked out great, though he did do some extra fiddling with her legs because she has "asymmetrical creases" in her thighs. This can indicate problems with the hips or differences in leg... (More)

Blog Statistics

Tom asked for some statistics for his blog, and I figured I might as well look them up for mine while I was at it. I am not particularly surprised by the results, so perhaps not worth posting, but in case anyone thought the world was interested about our kids... ... (More)

Liberal or Conservative?

I guess I fail the test , since I answered "no" to both questions, though I suppose Brad Andresen from college (the one who always said of me, "You're more liberal than you think you are.") would be happy to hear that I'd be more likely to think it alright to slap my dad... (More)

I Heard It From a Newspaper...

So, I know you can't believe anything you read in a newspaper, but if the newspaper calls you and tells you something, then can you believe it? How about if both Pittsburgh newspapers call? We've heard that Judy was acquitted of two of the three charges brought against her, but... (More)

Crawling! and more

3/6 - Jonathan beat Heather in chess, fair and square! 3/18 - Noah said, "I love you" for the first time. It was to Faith. Later that day, he said it again to Daddy as he was leaving to go shopping. He has yet to say it to me, but I know it will come.... (More)

New Printer: HP LaserJet 1006. Installed on Linux CUPS and Networked to Windows XP

Our printer finally died. Or actually, it didn't really die, but required more money, so I decided (somewhat hesitantly, since the HP Laserjet 6L is the best printer ever made, according to most sources) to replace it. The 6L lasted 13 years , so the longest lasting printer I've... (More)

New Spam

I had gotten some rather blank emails in my spam folder recently (and some not in the spam folder), so I thought I'd check into it further. I couldn't figure out why they were wasting their time, as it just contained a bunch of fairly blank HTML, with some tables, and background... (More)
