Obamacare

There are various reasons why I don't think Obama's healthcare (or any federal healthcare program) is a good idea, but today happened across an Associated Press story that talks about how less and less members of his own party support his ideas , and that he is losing support across the... (More)

A Rich Family

Heather remarked at dinner tonight (at the Olive Garden - thanks Wightmans, we've got 7 more dinners at this rate to celebrate our anniversary) that we are a rich family: we now own two cars and two houses. I did realize that some people spend more on their cars than we spent on our... (More)

Faith Nine Months

Faith is 21.8 lb, 29" tall. Those are both 90th percentile. Everything checked out great, though he did do some extra fiddling with her legs because she has "asymmetrical creases" in her thighs. This can indicate problems with the hips or differences in leg... (More)

Lyme Daley

After we hear others talking about ticks everywhere, we hadn't seen any at all in our yard. And then Jonathan gets Lyme Disease. He had a fever and slept all day for two days, and then he was better so we didn't think anything of it. A few days later, he gets this red rash on... (More)

Liberal or Conservative?

I guess I fail the test , since I answered "no" to both questions, though I suppose Brad Andresen from college (the one who always said of me, "You're more liberal than you think you are.") would be happy to hear that I'd be more likely to think it alright to slap my dad... (More)

Reading, Counting, Pulling Up

5/4 - Jonathan read Hop On Pop to us. It took two sessions because it is a pretty long book. It was fun for me because I know that was one of the first books I read out loud to my parents. 5/8 - Kids only know what they're exposed to. When Noah saw the TV in our... (More)

A Post About Noah

4/23 and following - Noah sings a little song, waving his arms around and concludes with, "Amen." He then says, "Me get mine Bible." He has loved reading the Bible even from such a young age as I was not sure if he could distinguish it from other books, except... (More)

Free Range Kids: One Hundred Years Ago

Would you send your nine-year-old on a New York City subway by himself? Would you send him on a horse from Oklahoma to New Mexico and back by way of the deserts of Texas - taking his five-year-old brother along? It can be frustrating sifting through the chaff at the children's... (More)

Coloring, Colors, Teeth

3/29 - Jonathan was upstairs quietly playing for a very long time. When he finally came down, he showed us what he had been working on the whole time. It was a completely filled in color-by-number page. He read the colors all by himself to see which one went with which... (More)

New Spam

I had gotten some rather blank emails in my spam folder recently (and some not in the spam folder), so I thought I'd check into it further. I couldn't figure out why they were wasting their time, as it just contained a bunch of fairly blank HTML, with some tables, and background... (More)

2008 Taxes

I haven't looked at how much time it took us to do taxes this year - I thought we were doing pretty well, time-wise, until we blew 8 hours or so today finishing them off (or is it them finishing us off, I'm not sure which...) I noticed a number of places where the strange, complicated... (More)
