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 3, Faith 1, Pocket Notes, No Boys In Diapers

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)

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)

Jonathan's Understanding of Taxes

We finished our taxes today, and the kids were around while we were doing it, and then we went out to the Olive Garden, since we didn't feel like cooking at 8PM when we finished the taxes. On the way home, we were talking about how much the meal cost (Jonathan has various data points on... (More)

Gardening

I've been mentioning my garden doings on Serina's blog and in private emails with her, and I thought I'd compile and post the relevant info here. March 15: Whoohoo! I just placed my order with fedco , and we’ve been preparing our squares out front. Jon just... (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)
