This morning, we drove up to the birth clinic where Jonathan and Noah were born. Their midwife has retired (she wanted to before Noah was born, but actually did right before Faith was born) and her daughter has taken over the job. We had met C before, when she was helping out her... (More)

Short Pocket Notes

This is short but my pocket notes are full and I need a new paper. 9/25 - Noah, wearing his Swiss tshirt and red shorts, "This is my hockey outfit. My hockey team is called Swiss Fire!" In lieu of nursing for any length of time (which is very irritating when pregnant and seems to get... (More)

Naga Jolokia Pepper

I came across a hot pepper that I hadn't heard of before, and since it had a warning on it being really hot, I figured I had to buy it. Now that I've learned it is the hottest known pepper in the world, I have to wonder -- what am I ever going to do with it? The cashier mentioned that... (More)

Bedtime Cleanup

Inspired by an article in Family Fun magazine, I developed a fun motivator for bedtime cleanup that really works. Before, there would be lots of complaining, dilly-dallying and nagging. Now the house is clean every night before bed and the job is done quickly! Here's how it... (More)

Pocket Notes

I'm definitely feeling the baby now! Movements are most noticeable when I am lying down. 9/14 - Jon had mentioned that the next time Jonathan got sneakers, they should have laces. Jonathan had never learned to tie his shoes because he never had tie shoes. At almost seven... (More)

Pocket Notes

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)
