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)

Blog Statistics

Tom asked for some statistics for his blog, and I figured I might as well look them up for mine while I was at it. I am not particularly surprised by the results, so perhaps not worth posting, but in case anyone thought the world was interested about our kids... ... (More)

Hugging...

I've noticed the "kids" at church (in quotes, since folks are quite sure where to place me, the "adults" say I'm a kid, and the "kids" say I'm adult (I think primarily since I'm married and have kids of my own)) hug more than I am used to, and I had internally... (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)

I Heard It From a Newspaper...

So, I know you can't believe anything you read in a newspaper, but if the newspaper calls you and tells you something, then can you believe it? How about if both Pittsburgh newspapers call? We've heard that Judy was acquitted of two of the three charges brought against her, but... (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)

Quotes and More

4/10 - Noah comes up to me, winking, and says, "Mommy, me one eye!" It was hilarious. (I couldn't wink until first grade.) 4/11 - Guess which story this is, by Noah: "Let me in. No, no, no. Blow up house!" 4/20 - What does Noah say when... (More)

Another Word Problem

If you start a pot boiling at 9:55PM (knowing that you will be up for a while) to hard boil eggs for the following day and don't set a timer, how long will it take before you go back to the kitchen to turn off the stove? Your answer should be written in terms of: E: Number of... (More)

It's Ok, Grandma. She's Fine.

I was adding more materials to our garden beds, and wanted to mix it in by hand. It doesn't work so well to lean over with Faith in the backpack, so I set her down on the ground behind me. Well, that ground was not so level. She went tumbling over, and the worst part was that... (More)

Crawling! and more

3/6 - Jonathan beat Heather in chess, fair and square! 3/18 - Noah said, "I love you" for the first time. It was to Faith. Later that day, he said it again to Daddy as he was leaving to go shopping. He has yet to say it to me, but I know it will come.... (More)

New Printer: HP LaserJet 1006. Installed on Linux CUPS and Networked to Windows XP

Our printer finally died. Or actually, it didn't really die, but required more money, so I decided (somewhat hesitantly, since the HP Laserjet 6L is the best printer ever made, according to most sources) to replace it. The 6L lasted 13 years , so the longest lasting printer I've... (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)
