Jonathan likes to eat turnips (just cut up and boiled) - he was exclaiming over them so much I thought it should go into the blog. He counted backwards from five the other day, on his own. He said, "That's Soot-su's address." This morning he drew a "6"... (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)

Thoughts on Marriage

A friend of John Kuhns was asked some questions about marriage and what the point of it is. This was his response: I think you are right that marriage is becoming less and less meaningful these days. People seem to think of marriage as just a very-committed relationship. When you are in a... (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)

The Joy of Watching Them Learn

I've been especially enjoying my boys the last week or so, having fun watching them learn so fast. Specifically, Noah's crawling and Jonathan's recognition of numerals and letters. Noah has now figured out "crawling for transportation." He knows he can do... (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)

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)

Several Jonathan Stories

I have accumulated some random stuff about Jonathan for quite a while. Here thay are finally written down. After being stuck on 11 for quite some time, Jonathan now can count to 29, only skipping a few. This is what he said when describing how many people he wanted to come to... (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)

How Important is Doctrine Anyway?

I was at a small conference last weekend, which I suppose deserves another post entirely, but in summary, God used that conference to stir up and provoke me to love and seek him more. At the conference, one of the speakers (Rick Walth) talked about his experiences over the last couple years... (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)

"CR" Sound, Math Rhymes

Jonathan was rolling out fondant and playing with cookie cutters and talking to himself about them when I heard him say, "cross" correctly! He also said, "green" correctly so I asked him to say "Grammy" and he did! They do sound slightly like... (More)
