I'll begin by assuaging grandparental fears: no one is hurt! And now I'll start from the beginning. As mentioned elsewhere, it is extremely cold out today. We forgot to open the cupboard under the kitchen sink and thus the pipes froze. I put our space heater on... (More)

Helping, Singing, Teething, Reaching

One afternoon we were shredding carrots in the food processor for a salad. Noah was getting upset, so Jonathan said to me, "You go ahead and give Noah milk; I'll finish the carrots." Noah has been wanting to eat more and has had lots of practice feeding bits of things... (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)

Mark 10:15

"Verily I say unto you, Whosoever shall not receive the kingdom of God as a little child, he shall not enter therein." Last week some time, Jonathan asked me to read him a story from his "Ark book" - which is the rhyming children's Bible that we have. We... (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)

Food, Babbling, Moving, Looking

Noah, as mentioned in Jon's saturday post, has been grabbing for my food, and I have started giving him tiny squashed samples. This is one of the great differences between him and his big brother, who did not care very much for solid food until at least a year. Yet it's not... (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)

Long Commute

Tonight, due to the Steeler's game, the first snowfall, and regular silly commuters, my trip home took an hour and 15 minutes, resulting in an average speed of 3.5 miles an hour. The last mile and a half took 45 minutes. I even saved a half an hour by calling Heather when I got close to... (More)

Pursuing Christ

A blog I have recently started reading, Following Judah's Lion , had this to say today: "What person takes one spoonful of the greatest ice cream they’ve ever tasted and puts the spoon down never to taste it again? And what sinner has tasted of the glorious grace of God... (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)

And Yet Another Quote

I haven't managed to get home yet tonight - started at a link from Worship Matters, Bob Kauflin's blog, and managed to meander around to a number of blogs, which after I get through the list, will probably add to the list of blogs that I read, but wanted to post a link to this one in... (More)

Independence, Construction, Playdough

Jonathan borrowed a playdough pliers from the Kuhns and discovered that it makes nice little barrels. Since his dough is now all colors mixed up, it is brown. Lisa thought they looked like Tootsie Rolls. A few days later when he was telling another friend about the things he... (More)

500th post

Who would have guessed that back when I started writing back in November of 2002 that I was starting what would eventually become a blog, and fairly regular posts? Certainly not me. Here are the "most significant posts" calculated by various methods: Number of comments:... (More)

Milk and Freedom

Serina wrote a post on raw milk that I started to comment on, when I decided it deserved a whole post on my own blog. I thought the person quoted in the raw milk article made a good point about lettuce, etc. making people sick. Think of the recent spinach/e.coli thing. Are states now... (More)

Reaching and Grabbing

Noah likes to sit in his bouncy seat while I take showers. It has some hanging toys on it which he has now started grabbing for. This morning he succeeded in getting a good enough hold on one to try to bring it to his mouth. Unfortunately, it was not long enough to reach, but he tried several... (More)
