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)

50 Days of Heaven - Days 6 and 7

On these two days, Mr. Alcorn has strayed away from at least what I know as traditional views of Heaven, though granted, I am not a particularly studied scholar on the matter. I haven't ever heard of an intermediate Heaven, which is different from the future Heaven. His definition... (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)

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)

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)

A Tooth Already!

Noah was having a hard time this early morning and he reached for my fingers to chew on them. Then I felt it! Tooth ridges on the bottom right! He's been drooling and chewing a lot, but I really didn't think anything of it, because Jonathan chomped on stuff for a couple months before the... (More)

Reading Mom's post about the TV/autism study reminded me of my own recent negative TV experience. On Friday at care group, Jonathan inadvertantly went to the babysitting before we wanted him to, and they ended up seeing several kids' shows on video. Much of his conversation all weekend... (More)

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)
