While cooking our breakfast on Saturday, I saw that Heather had put the potatoes on the counter, meaning that we should eat them soon, and not forget about them in their normal storage place. I asked Jonathan how we should cook the potatoes for dinner, and he said that we should make... (More)

It's Worth Finding A Good Pediatric Dentist!

Last month, I took Jonathan for his first dental checkup and cleaning. He did a great job, asking lots of questions and generally having a good time. But they did discover two huge fillings. The regular dentist doesn't do fillings for kids, so she had us make an appointment... (More)

Sunny On Sunday

In college, our friend Volus used to say that it was always sunny on Sunday. Even if it was gray in the morning, the sun was out by the time church was over. I found that he was right for the vast majority of the time. This weekend was no exception. Saturday was rainy,... (More)

Climbing, Writing, Quotes

March 20 - Jonathan climbed over our chain link fence all by himself. March 22 - He was pretending that his cereal was "vitamins" and counting them out to himself, "It's Saturday [eat one]...it's Monday [eat one]...it's Wednesday [eat one]...it's... (More)

Shopping Cart Thrill Ride

After Noah's doctor appointment, we went to the grocery store. I had parked forward-facing to a curbed, sloped sidewalk. On the side of the walk opposite the parking lot was a railing. Because of the curb, I did not push the cart to the trunk of my car as I usually... (More)

7th Tooth Finally Makes It and Other Stories

Lower left. It's been bothering him for quite a while. Glad it's through and I hope the matching one comes quickly so we can have a rest for a while. Noah has made up his own game that's kind of like Bocce ball. He holds one ball in his hand, and then uses it... (More)

Heat/Furnace

Note to self: when going to bed, and walking past a heating vent that is blowing cold air, double check that the furnace is working. 52 degrees in the house this morning, and it isn't that cold out (27 or so).The fan is on constantly, but the ignition isn't turning on, so it seems... (More)

LifeType update to 1.1.6

One of the LifeType users reported a security problem in the RSS parser that allowed any file on your system to be read. ick. Oscar has fixed it and 1.1.6 will be released tomorrow. Everyone on my server has been upgraded already and it probably isn't too critical for them, at... (More)

Skiing

We finally went skiing for the first time this year and although it was pretty cold, we did have a lot of fun and stayed a lot longer than we did last year. We had a little trouble getting our tickets - it is always hard to find the ski club people, and I was incorrectly asking for Carnegie... (More)

RSS Feeds

I have been meaning to get around to putting at least some of these in my "Links" panel on the right, though I suspect that it would be too long to place all of them there. But, anyway, here are the blogs that I read regularly. (The RSS feed reader makes it possible to... (More)

Lost Planner, Boys' Events

I lost my planner just before Christmas (as far as I can deduce, in a shopping cart in the parking lot of Jo-Ann's on McKnight Rd - anybody seen it? Please return it, you can keep the gift cards, I just want the information!) It had several notes in it about cute things the boys... (More)

Saturday Adventure

It has been a long time since the last time Jonathan and I went out on a trip together, and Heather suggested that I take the kids to give her some time to clean and other things by herself. First, we glued all of the dining room chairs, since they have been falling apart more than usual... (More)

Jonathan Is Three!

Jonathan woke up late on his birthday morning and discovered a bouquet of Happy Birthday balloons tied to the foot of his bed. He had a good long drink of mommy milk and then discovered his birthday crown on the sewing table which he put on after dressing in his "wedding clothes."... (More)

50 Days of Heaven - Days 6 and 7

On these two days, Mr. Alcorn has strayed away from at least what I know as traditional views of Heaven, though granted, I am not a particularly studied scholar on the matter. I haven't ever heard of an intermediate Heaven, which is different from the future Heaven. His definition... (More)

Offended Appliance

Somehow the appliance spies informed our dryer that we were at Sears looking at a new dryer. Heather wanted to get a new one, since this one doesn't have a low heat setting - but the dryer has worked fine for years. The next time we used our dryer, it refused to start a couple times,... (More)
