We had Easter dinner at the Venables with four families (total.) It was a fun time and we got home after it was fully dark. As I was getting Noah out of the car I noticed that the sky was perfectly clear and the stars were shining as much as you can expect in a city. I saw... (More)

House Search

As some of you know, we have been looking for a house for the last couple of months, and we think we have found one! I asked a couple guys from church to come look at it today, and give their thoughts, and they generally approved. Someday, I'll probably make the kitchen nicer (ie.... (More)

Where Does The Time Go? (the numbers are even correct this time...)

Shortly after I posted the first analysis of my time , I realized that my hours per day calculation were kind of off, since I was counting 7 day weeks, and I basically never work on Sundays. As I am redoing the calculations, I see that I must have been doing something strange to try get... (More)

Remote Access

I finally decided to buy a wireless card for my laptop that uses the cell phone network, as opposed to plain wi-fi. This will allow me to have more/better access when I am not in range of a wifi access point (say, hypothetically, if one were to travel to Middleburg, Virginia to a house... (More)

Noah Will Be A Big Brother!

Last week (actually within the span of three days) four people asked me if I am pregnant. Really, you ask? Yes, really, they did. One of them was Jonathan, whom you have read has been praying fervently for a little sister, and has not yet learned that you don't ask women that... (More)

Falling in a Lake, 18 (19 really) Month Appointment

On Sunday after church, we were driving around the area and went to the lake we visited in the summer. It was frozen over, people were ice fishing. We walked on carefully, telling Jonathan to stay near us and of the dangers of weak ice. We found an abandonded, yet fresh, ice... (More)

Forks, Thinking of Talking, Dictionary, How God Makes Little Girls

Noah likes to help set the table. When I ask him to put forks at the places, he will run to the drawer and grab a fistfull, then put a fork on top of each plate. I usually have to help him put away the extras, or they end up all over the place. He's also been copying words... (More)

Christmas/Vacation/Home Again

Can I condense three weeks of activities into one post? We'll see how it turns out. One thing we discovered at Christmastime is that Noah loves cocktail sauce. He just dipped his finger in and licked it off, licked the bowl clean and wanted more! We had Christmas at... (More)

Random Stuff

Just when I thought I was a geek, the bar is raised... I forgot to post this a while ago: Tim Hawkins and the "homeschool family". Prairie Home Sausage is kind of funny - and has a picture of a really neat merry-go-round. Lastly, being... (More)

Christmas Present from Verizon

For some reason, Verizon thought it would be a good idea to reconfigure their network early morning Christmas Eve (or late the night before, I am not sure which). Unfortunately, they transferred me to a broken gateway, which has 3 minutes outages every fifteen minutes or so.... (More)

Krypto Solver Usage

I have been looking through my web access logs trying to track down a pesky LifeType bug. And I came across someone who had used my Krypto solver one day and then tried to come back a couple days, but mistyped the URL as kyrpto, which of course didn't work. So, then he went to... (More)

Fun with Spam

I have been getting a bunch of spam through my contact form over the last couple of days, so I thought I would check out what they are trying to do. The domain's contact information is protected by privacyprotect.org, so we can't know who they are, though I filled out a form showing... (More)

Spelling, Counting, Play and More

11/28 - Sanda has been teaching us Romanian, and one day Jonathan was asking what various random words were. We thought he said, "walk" and Sanda hesitated because it's a verb, so when she asked him to clarify (I walk, you walk, she walks?) he said, "No! Not 'walk' with a... (More)

Do Not Call Lists

We have been getting more and more sales calls lately. I try to take the time to report them to the do not call lists, both for our state and for the country. We are supposed to get $100 for each violation (where the caller pays $1000). But, I haven't ever gotten any money.... (More)
