Sunny On Sunday
In college, our friend Volus used to say that it was always sunny on Sunday.  Even if it was gray in the morning, the sun was out by the time church was over.  I found that he was right for the vast majority of the time.  This weekend was no exception.  Saturday was rainy,... (More)

The Alphabet Song
Sung at a reasonable pace, it takes about 30 seconds to sing.  I have been using it as a device for preparing Jonathan (and myself) for the end of a nursing session (usually two times through.)  One not surprising result is that Jonathan is good at singing it himself now.  His one... (More)

Car Radio
I finally got around to taking apart our radio in our car that has had a CD stuck in it since we purchased the car.  The dashboard came out unexpectedly easily, so I should have done it a long time ago -- I had been intimidated by not seeing any obvious screws, but when I yanked on it,... (More)

Spelling and Reading
Jonathan was wearing a shirt he got from Auntie E for Christmas and he looked down at his chest and said, "zero-s-h-k-zero-s-h.  Oshkosh!"  That was interesting to me because when he was first learning numerals, he called zeroes "o."  When I menioned that in... (More)

Pincer Grasp!
Noah can now pick up cheerios with his index finger and thumb, with both hands.   He's creeping a bit more, but not consistently enough for getting a video yet.   I've always thought that a double sneeze was just two sneezes in a row, but Noah proves me wrong.  He goes... (More)

Skiing
We finally went skiing for the first time this year and although it was pretty cold, we did have a lot of fun and stayed a lot longer than we did last year. We had a little  trouble getting our tickets - it is always hard to find the ski club people, and I was incorrectly asking for Carnegie... (More)

Thoughts on Marriage
A friend of John Kuhns was asked some questions about marriage and what the point of it is.  This was his response: I think you are right that marriage is becoming less and less meaningful these days. People seem to think of marriage as just a very-committed relationship. When you are in a... (More)

The Joy of Watching Them Learn
I've been especially enjoying my boys the last week or so, having fun watching them learn so fast.  Specifically, Noah's crawling and Jonathan's recognition of numerals and letters.   Noah has now figured out "crawling for transportation."  He knows he can do... (More)

Saturday Adventure
It has been a long time since the last time Jonathan and I went out on a trip together, and Heather suggested that I take the kids to give her some time to clean and other things by herself. First, we glued all of the dining room chairs, since they have been falling apart more than usual... (More)

Long Commute
Tonight, due to the Steeler's game, the first snowfall, and regular silly commuters, my trip home took an hour and 15 minutes, resulting in an average speed of 3.5 miles an hour. The last mile and a half took 45 minutes. I even saved a half an hour by calling Heather when I got close to... (More)

Several Jonathan Stories
I have accumulated some random stuff about Jonathan for quite a while.  Here thay are finally written down.   After being stuck on 11 for quite some time, Jonathan now can count to 29, only skipping a few.  This is what he said when describing how many people he wanted to come to... (More)

50 Days of Heaven - Day 4
I sort of got discouraged on days 2 and 3, where I didn't find much that was edifying. But day 4 had a couple interesting things.One was a question I have about "Eden has been trampled, torched, and savaged." I have thought Eden was doing okay.  I guess maybe if the whole... (More)

Independence, Construction, Playdough
Jonathan borrowed a playdough pliers from the Kuhns and discovered that it makes nice little barrels.  Since his dough is now all colors mixed up, it is brown.  Lisa thought they looked like Tootsie Rolls.  A few days later when he was telling another friend about the things he... (More)
