We signed up for a new phone number for dealing with rental stuff, and bought the numbers to go on the sign today. Three hours later, we got our first call. Crazy. I haven't gotten around to getting it on Craig's List yet or anything. The guy is deciding between a house and a... (More)

The Birth Story of Faith Elizabeth Daley

On a Wednesday, two days past my due date, the midwives scheduled me for post-dates testing at the hospital the next week. At first these only consist of a non-stress test (monitoring to be sure the baby's heart rate increases when he moves) and an ultrasound to confirm adequate amniotic... (More)

Water and Power

Our family had been emailing around about the wind and rain from a recent storm, the power outages, and water in our basement, and a couple questions came up, and I thought I would post them here, that perhaps other people are interested in the goings on at our new house. 40% (18,000)... (More)

Trial?

I was just served with a subpeona to appear for Judy's trial on September 22nd, with a preparation meeting on September 8th. Probably not what Heather wants to be thinking about with our baby due any day now. I told the detective that with our baby coming, we might not be able to make... (More)

40 Weeks

Had a midwife appointment today. All stats are good, baby seems to be about 8 1/2 lbs (tall and skinny, the midwife thinks.) (S)he is a bit turned posterior at the moment, but I am not too concerned because it's not very much, and as long as Mommy gets to be in whatever position she feels... (More)

Waiting, Quotes

I have to say that the real baby is much more squashed in me than that little graphic baby is on the sidebar. (S)he pokes up knees and heels all the time and increasingly presses on my bladder. I am ready to go, but still have plenty of things I can do while waiting. When Mom and Janet... (More)

Hot Water Recirculator is a Waste of Money

Our new house has fairly long hot water lines to the kitchen and bathroom, so I was looking for different solutions to getting there to be hot water quicker. I researched some tankless heaters, and for the kitchen and washing machine (on one trunk) a small heater (12 amps) would have worked... (More)

New House, Cleaning, Fixing

Yes, we have a new house! The closing was a little hectic because the seller left a van in the driveway and we had to work out an escrow agreement for them to get rid of it (which still had not been done by last night.) Right after closing, we headed up to do work. We have had... (More)

Water testing

This started out as a reply to an email to Heather's parents, but I figured maybe other people are interested in the thought process about water quality. After lots of hours looking at water things today, I think we will definitely get a " MetalMaster " which gets rid of... (More)

Condensed Recent Happenings

Vacation was fun, see the pictures: Connecticut , New Hampshire . 7/26 - A little boy, older than Noah and younger than Jonathan, asked Noah his name. When Noah did not say anything, the boy kept repeating, "What's your name?" Eventually, Noah walked over to the table and got his... (More)

On the Road Again...

I guess it can't much be counted as "again", since we have only moved once since we have been married, but the song popped into my head as I started to write the title of this post. Since some of you probably don't read every comment on our blog, you might have missed the announcement... (More)

SSH Login Attempts

I think I have written before about DenyHosts , but this evening, it prevented somewhere around twenty thousand individual hosts trying to login to one of my servers. The hackers have gotten smarter - that they used to just try from one host, which was trivially blockable, even manually.... (More)

Fourth Time's the Charm?

I had delayed posting this since I think people were getting tired of hearing about each house that we put an offer on. But, now that this offer has been accepted, and I don't expect too much trouble with the inspections, I figure it is safe enough to post.I said to a friend the other day,... (More)
