We are the happy recipients of two used swingsets - one from a family at church and one from the next door neighbors. It is loads of fun and we're planning on building monkey bars between the two sets. Recently, when I was reading one of our storybooks about Noah and the flood,... (More)

Dishwasher! and more

We now have a dishwasher in our kitchen, which Jon installed himself (running new electric, supply, and drain.) Yeah! There is also a ceiling fan/light fixture in our bedroom to replace the bare bulb fixture. Yeah! 5/13 - N count to 10 5/13 - Jonathan's practical... (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)

Quotes and More

4/10 - Noah comes up to me, winking, and says, "Mommy, me one eye!" It was hilarious. (I couldn't wink until first grade.) 4/11 - Guess which story this is, by Noah: "Let me in. No, no, no. Blow up house!" 4/20 - What does Noah say when... (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)

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)

Confused...

Most of you who know me realize that I don't hardly pay any attention to news, and particularly since I started working from home, I can't even get my daily news reports from conversations in the common area. So, I generally figure I don't know most of what is "going on" in the... (More)

Stuff again

2/10 or earlier - Faith can transfer an item from one hand to the other. 2/10 - Jonathan, studying a penny, "This coin says 1 - 9 - 9 - 9. That's super long ago!" (I knew my kids would think anything before 2000 was ancient history.) Since coming home from... (More)

Stuff in the Couch

We are missing a movie, and so went looking around the house for it (the boys had all the movies out the other day, lining them up to look at all of the covers (as well as taking all the Mancala marbles and throwing them around the house)) - see what happens when Mommy leaves for the... (More)

Installing clusterssh on Cygwin

Since I am a lazy Debian user, I am not used to compiling things from source. (sidenote: It is interesting to me how many people from other distributions are fairly used to mucking around in source code, spending hours working on getting a simple package installed) But, clusterssh... (More)

Happy Birthday to Me

I figured I'd be getting some birthday money from someone, so I went ahead and spent it last week, by buying a handful of CDs from Sovereign Grace , which happens to be having a fairly big sale. It will go for the rest of February, so you should probably check it out. It seems to be... (More)

Fakeable Caller ID

We've gotten two calls in the last couple days from people claiming that we called them, and quite irate about it. What they didn't realize is that you can't really trust the caller-id values displayed on your phone - they are trivially forgeable by anyone, and I think relatively hard to... (More)

Stuff

1/23 - Faith's matching lower tooth came in. It looks like she's teething again, maybe some top teeth on their way. She, like Noah my other early teether, is interested in solid foods already. Jonathan bought her (with his own money) some little cereal pieces, the kind that dissolve... (More)

$0.01 Credit Card Charge and Cancelling a Card Due to "Low Use"

Mydad had mentioned a news article story a month ago about some company charging a whole bunch of people $.01 each on their credit cards; presumably with the thought that no one would complain about a $.01 charge, and since they charged a million people or something, they made a bunch of... (More)
