After breakfast on Noah's birthday, we went to the dollar store to buy him some balloons. Jonathan thought Noah shouldn't come, because it would spoil the surprise, but I said that since Noah likes to go on walks, he'd have a happier birthday if he came with us. And what's another 10... (More)

Happy Birthday, Noah!

Today, Noah is two years old! He is a blessing to our family, and I look forward to watching and helping him grow more and more. Since the second birthday is not much more interesting to the recipient than the first, we'll be having a simple family celebration with balloons and cake. I'm... (More)

Fixed It!

Yesterday, Jonathan was playing with a mini flashlight when part of it fell off. He spent quite a while trying to put it back together ("Mommy! The clear part fell off, and when I tried to get that, the bulb fell out. Where does this black piece go?") But he was mostly talking to... (More)

Jonathan's Shopping Trip

Life cereal was on sale for $2, and we found a $1 off coupon inside one box. So tonight, Jonathan bought a box of cereal with his own dollar bill. We all walked to the store together. Jonathan found the cereal aisle by himself and saw where the cereal was, but had Daddy reach up to... (More)

It's Alive!

So, what happens when you take a Handspring that died one day and wouldn't recover after various testing, and leave it in a box to take apart one day to see if it was anything obvious, but mostly forget about it for a year, and then pick it up and put batteries in it? It starts... (More)

All Sick

Noah was sick Tuesday, then I got it Thursday morning. We were going to go to a homeschool conference , just for fun this year. We decided not to go, mostly not to infect our hosts , but we wouldn't have enjoyed the conference at all. Jonathan got it yesterday, and Jon is feeling... (More)

ReleaseForge for SourceForge

I found a link to this application a while ago, but never took the time to check it out. Fortunately, it stuck in the back of my mind that there was a handy application, although even handier that I had saved my bookmarks from an old computer, because I couldn't remember the name, and I... (More)

More Words!

4/8 - We were reading a non-word book about getting a new baby in the house, and Noah would say "baby" perfectly as he pointed to the baby in each picture. He now says it often, sometimes referring to himself, sometimes to my tummy, sometimes to a picture of another baby, sometimes randomly.... (More)

What Do People Search For?

I just updated Usermin, and so wanted to make sure that my custom modules didn't break. And in the process, poked around through my webalizer module, which shows the things that people type into search engines to end up at our blog as well as the number of hits for certain pages. ... (More)

Song of Praise to God

[ Dictation taken by Mommy. This is a song, but it was hard enough to get all the words written in time, there was no way she could write the notes as well. ] How the Lord is, is a man. Well, Lord, will lead me in the paths of righteousness. Lord God, He's the Spirit of lords.... (More)

4 Year Well Check

Due to needing to have the well-child visits a year apart and to my previous and current hesitation to use the phone, especially with our doctors' office having this weird new scheduling system, we didn't get to Jonathan's four year checkup until last week. He is 44lb and 42." This... (More)

Noah Likes Blenheim

Whenever Daddy opens a bottle of Blenheim ginger ale, Noah takes several sips, too. Tuesday (4/2) Noah thoroughly inspected the dishwasher handle. You can tell he's in a family of engineers! He can say "mommy" now, though not consistently. He also says... (More)

Happy April Fool's Day

It seems to be the idea this year to release the April Fool's day jokes early, perhaps to give them more credibility, or maybe simply to join with the Australians. I hadn't heard of the spaghetti tree joke before, but that is a pretty good one. I showed Jonathan and Noah the... (More)

Debian Installed Relatively Painlessly on my Sony Laptop

I am sure this will excite many of our normal readers, but I have finally (after four years) switched my laptop to Linux. Now that I am using it everyday, it is much nicer to be in this environment, instead of having putty windows all over the place. Perhaps if I had a better... (More)

"Oh, why are we not more holy!"

"Oh, why are we not more holy!", he would exclaim with loving insistence. "Why do we not live in eternity, walk with God all the day long? Why are we not all-devoted to God, breathing the whole spirit of missionaries? "Alas, we are too much enthusiasts,... (More)
