Daley Ponderings

The night we arrived (Monday) was "Christmas Eve" so we each opened our one present from "Mr. Ho" and filled the stockings for the morning. It turns out that Santa had also visted Bermuda, because we each received a souvenir ornament from Bermuda. "Christmas" morning was leisurely, as Mom had to... (More)

Christmas Eve morning, Jonathan threw up. It turned out to be a stomach bug, so the performance repeated itself several times. We took a bath and napped in a chair. (He seemd to throw up more if he was lying down, so I held him upright and tried to sleep myself.) We tried to nurse, but it just... (More)

I guess I don't really have time to write these as they happen, so you get a week's worth of stuff at once: December 14 - In women's Bible study babysitting, Jonathan pointed to the door and said, "door." When Miss Rachel did not respond to that, he went to her, grabbed her hand, took her to... (More)

Not that I am particularly looking for a job at Google, but they have had some fun entry questions lately. The one I saw this morning in a magazine was: To send a fax, Dial the four digit access code Y where 60097 equals f(f(f(Y))). This machine has extension number Z where f(f(Z)) =... (More)

Just went through all of Jonathan's pictures the other day and am amazed at how much he has changed. I said at first that I thought he didn't look like Isaac at all. Now I am starting to see more similarities. I always did think Isaac looked more like a three month old than a newborn, and I... (More)
