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)

Grandpa Daley

The Concord Monitor wrote a front page story about my grandfather and the place where he (and my great aunt) live, Havenwood-Heritage Heights . I thought this quote accurately describes his outlook on life: Whether I live long enough or not, I don't know. But it's worth a try.... (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)

Food, Babbling, Moving, Looking

Noah, as mentioned in Jon's saturday post, has been grabbing for my food, and I have started giving him tiny squashed samples. This is one of the great differences between him and his big brother, who did not care very much for solid food until at least a year. Yet it's not... (More)

More Quotes, More Jumping, Drawing

Well, so far he hasn't forgotten things from before he was three. Just out of the blue the other day, Jonathan was talking about the Maggie P and said, "That burning up fire toilet is pretty cool." Speaking of being three, he will occasionally ask me, "Mommy, am I... (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)

Pursuing Christ

A blog I have recently started reading, Following Judah's Lion , had this to say today: "What person takes one spoonful of the greatest ice cream they’ve ever tasted and puts the spoon down never to taste it again? And what sinner has tasted of the glorious grace of God... (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)

A Hunger For God

I guess I will need to read the book - I have not liked a fair amount of what John Piper has to say (which is unfortunate, since my church loves everything he says). But I happened across Slice of Laodicea and read the following quote today, which is exactly how I have been thinking recently:... (More)

Jon took us on a small family vacation this weekend to a bed and breakfast on a farm .It was fun, despite cold precipitation and wind for most of the weekend.

Cradle Cap, Tummy Time

I never did anything with Jonathan's cradle cap and it's still there. It's hidden by hair and doesn't bother him, so I continue to do nothing. But Noah's looks different, and actually more noticable, so I thought I'd try to do something about it. After quite a search, we finally found... (More)

Birthday Sail

Jon told me last night that our friend Lisa from church was coming at 10am and we needed to be prepared to go somewhere cool for many hours. In the morning, I was telling Jonathan about how six years ago on this day (my 21st birthday - after we were engaged and before we were married)... (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)
