Taxes weren't too bad to calculate this year, though last year we paid TaxAct, so apparently, they decided we aren't ever allowed to go back to the free version again, unless I sign up with a new username. So, we ended up just doing them on paper, and discovered that in some ways, TaxAct... (More)

Vacation Pocket Notes

We spent two weeks in New Hampshire for Christmas. It turns out that Faith doesn't really like snow. She looked at me like I was from outer space when I offered her some to eat. Hopefully this aversion does not last. The boys, however, have a blast playing out in the... (More)

Pocket Notes

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)
