We went to Florida for vacation with the Daleys for one week and the Wightmans for another week. It was a great time. But this leaves me behind on posting, so here we go... On one of our many walks in Clearwater Beach, Jonathan was walking along with a little stick hanging out of... (More)

Home Owners For Real!

Yesterday, I mailed the payoff check for our mortgage. This is very exciting for us. To be completely debt free (even of 'good' debt) and really truly own our house. Sure, it helps to have a house that didn't cost very much to start with. But we have been... (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)

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)

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)

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)

Excommunication

A good post on judging , and making sure to clarify between judging the sin of the world and of the brethren. Do we let people be happy, and not say anything, in order to not rock the boat, or do we speak up? Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his... (More)

Bump Keys

I heard about bump keys recently, and had a little time to play around this morning. I read an article about them, and watched a youtube video , and away I went. It took about 15 minutes to hand-file a key. And then another 20 minutes to try the "pull-back"... (More)

Who Says Spammers Write Junky Software?

I found this article at Ed Bott's blog , where it shows some screenshots from a spam control client-server piece of software. It looks pretty neat -- if you're into that sort of thing. One interesting thing to note is that almost half of the systems under the spammers control are... (More)

50 Days of Heaven - Day 4

I sort of got discouraged on days 2 and 3, where I didn't find much that was edifying. But day 4 had a couple interesting things.One was a question I have about "Eden has been trampled, torched, and savaged." I have thought Eden was doing okay. I guess maybe if the whole... (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)

Bubbles, Ticklish

Noah is very interested in his new teeth - he sticks his tongue in and out over them a lot and then goes "bbbbb" and makes bubbles. He is definitely ticklish now, mostly on his ribs but also under his armpits. He has passed a toy (or Daddy's finger) from one hand to another several... (More)

Noah 4 Months

Noah's height chart is doing the same straight-line projection that Jonathan's weight chart did. 28" tall, 18lb 11oz. I never pay much attention to the head circumference number, but that chart was also straight-line. The last two times, the nurse has double-checked that measurement, but... (More)

Tandem Nursing

This post has been in my head since shortly after Noah was born, but taking the time to write it has not been on my priority list until now. Before I begin, I would like to say that my purpose in writing is simply an explanation of what we're doing and why I think it's great, and an... (More)
