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)

Birthday Celebrations

After breakfast on Noah's birthday, we went to the dollar store to buy him some balloons. Jonathan thought Noah shouldn't come, because it would spoil the surprise, but I said that since Noah likes to go on walks, he'd have a happier birthday if he came with us. And what's another 10... (More)

Happy Birthday, Noah!

Today, Noah is two years old! He is a blessing to our family, and I look forward to watching and helping him grow more and more. Since the second birthday is not much more interesting to the recipient than the first, we'll be having a simple family celebration with balloons and cake. I'm... (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)

30 Weeks

Everything is progressing nicely. We were late yet again (Jon thought the appointment was 20 minutes later than it was, and I lost track of time.) Even with rushing, my blood pressure was the same as it has been this pregnancy. The most fun part was when it was time to hear the heartbeat. ... (More)

Fixed It!

Yesterday, Jonathan was playing with a mini flashlight when part of it fell off. He spent quite a while trying to put it back together ("Mommy! The clear part fell off, and when I tried to get that, the bulb fell out. Where does this black piece go?") But he was mostly talking to... (More)

Multi Update

Noah now has many more words that I can write down. They are still mostly only understood by me and Jonathan, but he's using his mouth to communicate. Most words have only the initial consonant and vowel sound (moo for "moose") and some have only part of the word (mo' for "remote") so much... (More)

ReleaseForge for SourceForge

I found a link to this application a while ago, but never took the time to check it out. Fortunately, it stuck in the back of my mind that there was a handy application, although even handier that I had saved my bookmarks from an old computer, because I couldn't remember the name, and I... (More)

Jonathan Quotes

4/10 - "That makes us laugh to the tip of our lungs!" 4/21 - Kind of like a spoonerism: "Daddy, do you want a bug wrap?" He meant "back rub." We all got a laugh out of that one. 4/25 - He woke up in a happy mood this morning, before the rest of us. He took off his diaper,... (More)

VMWare 1.0.5 Server patch for 2.6.25 kernel

I had the privilege of installing VMWare 1.0.5 on a brand new 2.6.25 kernel. I downloaded the 2.6.XX patch for vmware 1.0.4 , applied the one change from asm to linux in vcpuset.h. That had worked for me before when using 1.0.5 on a 2.6.24 kernel, but today I downloaded a 2.6.25... (More)

Voting - Finally Some Information

I try to be an informed voter, but I find it very hard to find information that will help me become informed. I finally found this link at SmartVoter where you can type in your address and get information on what your ballot will say. Unfortunately, it does not have the most... (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)

Feedjit Statistics

Copying the rest of you cool bloggers, I installed feedjit a while back. I originally thought it wasn't going to be very useful, since I assumed that all of the international hits were the many search engines that like crawl the blog all day long, or worse, spammers trying to post... (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)

Quickening

Last week I felt the baby moving. This is always a fun thing for a mom, to feel that physical connection to the baby. However, this quickening has brought with it an element of surprise. I do tend to feel my babies early, but that still brings me to at least 14 weeks... (More)
