This post is long overdue (I have two separate pocket papers kicking around) but as you may have noticed, we've been pretty busy around here. We are leaving soon for another vacation and so I really want to get these papers out of my pocket! When Noah had his 4 year appointment... (More)

Visiting Washington, DC

We arrived at the Fitzkees' house on Thursday night, and Nick said we could stay as long as we wanted. We ended up extending our trip by a day and coming home on Tuesday, which was a good decision. I think we spent the right amount of time for the whole family to enjoy the... (More)

2010 Family Bike Trip to Washington, DC: Fourth Day

We cooked bacon and pancakes (I found a nifty plastic pint jug in Walmart or somewhere that you simply pour water into the jug, shake it up, and pour it on the griddle) for breakfast, and then packed up and planned to meet for lunch at Great Falls, 15 miles away. Heather went back to... (More)

2010 Family Bike Trip to Washington, DC: Third Day

As I looked at the maps for the third day, we were going to be biking near various battlefields and other tourist-type places to visit, and so in the interest of resting a little, I decided we should drive for a ways and then maybe bike in the afternoon. We drove from Williamsport... (More)

2010 Family Bike Trip to Washington, DC: First Two Days

I've wanted to bike to DC for a while, but there never seemed like a good opportunity to do so. Once we purchased the tandem bike, and started thinking about the possibility of biking all over the country, the Washington trip seemed like a good first step. The trip did get... (More)

Church Bike Trip - July 2010

As Heather mentioned , it did take us a while to get this post written, but I thought it would be good to have a record of it, so here goes... Each year for the last several years, Paul has organized a two day bike trip for the kids of BCF. This year, we drove to Rockwood, PA... (More)

Sprinkler Auto-Timer

Someone asked what timer we recently purchased, and I figured I should post it here, since it seems to work pretty well. We bought the " Meinor Aqua Flush ", I chose this one because it was the only one available at Target while I was buying our third sprinkler (I should do... (More)

Bike Trip, Vacation, Notes

This is going to be woefully brief. The bike trip was adventure after adventure, lots of fun, but lots of work. Among the things you'd normally expect on a bike trip, it included four tire blowouts on the triple-tandem, a torrential downpour, a tent with no stakes, Jonathan riding... (More)

Pregnant!

Cycles did not return after the miscarriage, and that along with other symptoms leads me to conclude that I am pregnant again. The due date I am calling March 1. (I don't really think I can count the miscarriage as LMP and I have reason to believe that ovulation was a week later anyway.)... (More)

Last Day of Kindergarten

I decided to (mostly arbitrarily) call today the last day of Kindergarten. Tomorrow will be the first day of First Grade. I wanted to post because of Jonathan's answers to some of the logic problems he had today. For each line, there was a list of five objects or... (More)

Pocket Notes, Poison Ivy

6/11 - We planted more seeds in our garden. Faith helped me plant beans and she very carefully placed the seed in the hole and gently covered it with soil. It was so sweet to see her tender care. I discovered a robin's nest in the bush outside our bathroom... (More)

High Fructose Corn Syrup

We generally try to avoid corn syrup of all kinds (but we only "try", meaning it isn't banned or anything like that). But, when I'm looking for cereal or granola bars or whatever, I check the ingredients and particularly try to gauge if sugar (in whatever form) would be the first... (More)

Pocket Notes

6/1 - Noah's use of /f/ in everyday speech has increased immensely and he now uses it in a substitution. 3 = "free" 6/1 - Jonathan cut Faith's bangs "because she asked me to." Forgot that part about asking Mom or Dad... He actually did a good... (More)

New Bike Report

So, after thinking about it for a while, we decided to go ahead and purchase a new bike. The reason it took some thinking is that it isn't a regular old bike with one seat, but has three seats, with room for three adults, or with the added child conversion kits, Noah and Jonathan can fit... (More)
