I won't do a whole review, as I probably wouldn't do all that good of a job, but I'm re-reading it because a friend from church asked to borrow it, and I thought I would read through it again before I loaned it to him, so I could better recommend it appropriately. Dave Skiles... (More)

Total Church: Why Gospel? Why Community?

It's definitely a telling commentary on my life that the first chapter of Total Church , "Why Gospel?" was less exciting to me than the following chapter, "Why Community?". I think the former is in my head only, where the latter is in my head and heart.... (More)

Total Church: Introduction

I've just started reading a book I ordered from the library. I don't remember who recommended it - probably either someone at Jubilee, or else a blog I read. Based on the number of things I've liked so far, and I'm only through the introduction, I suspect I'm going to really like this... (More)

Spring!

It got up to 67 F outside this afternoon. We had a picnic lunch and then spent a long time outside enjoying the sunshine (kids absorbing lots of vitamin D) and playing with rocks. Jonathan cleaned and filled the hummingbird feeder. I filled the regular bird feeder. I... (More)

Notes and a Taste of Spring

2/23 - Faith repeated the Church of the Ascension doorbell, singing exactly on pitch. 2/24 - Noah was working with Jon on pronouncing "sure" correctly, having trouble with the "sh" sound at the beginning. Finally, he said to Jon, "How 'bout I just say... (More)

Backward State: Mississippi...

At least, it might be. A bill recently passed the house that very specifically makes non-CNM midwifery illegal . In 1972, (three years after they started licensing CNMs) a bill was passed declaring Mississippi to be a legal state for direct entry midwives. I only heard... (More)

Pocket Notes

2/11 - Noah, as we started school for the day, "I have my gun in my pocket in case any bad guys try to interrupt school." 2/13 - Faith says something that sounds very like "all done" when she is finished eating or going to the bathroom. She also says... (More)

It's All Relative

I was telling my mom the other day about how strange it was that Pittsburgh is all but closed down after the snowstorm on Saturday. Even the major roads (5th, Forbes, Negley, Penn) are not plowed, or rather, seem to have been plowed after one foot of snow fell, but then they didn't come... (More)

Taxes Are Done For Another Year

Taxes weren't too bad to calculate this year, though last year we paid TaxAct, so apparently, they decided we aren't ever allowed to go back to the free version again, unless I sign up with a new username. So, we ended up just doing them on paper, and discovered that in some ways, TaxAct... (More)

Quotes, etc.

2/1 - Jonathan, munching on dried cranberries, "I would have a happy life with air, cranberries, a Bible, and chips." 2/2 - Faith followed two-step directions: go get her shoes (from the other room) and put them in the shoe rack. 2/4 - Jonathan, "Life is so... (More)

New Pictures

We've added our pictures for the last couple months , as well as adding a bunch of pictures that Stephan took at the Maggie P and at Thanksgiving - the delay was mostly because I hadn't gotten around to figuring out how to add a credit in the bottom right corner for Stephan's pictures. And... (More)

Speaking and Reading

Noah is doing great at his speech practice. When he thinks about it, he can do /k/ and /g/ sounds at the beginning, ending, and middle of words. Examples: "big pig" "good guy" "duck" I'm so encouraged! I thought I'd write down all of... (More)

Lime Daley is now an Electronics Distributor

I figured I would post this here, since probably lots of you don't read our company blog . Lime Daley is now a distributor for various electronic products (computers, memory, hard drives, batteries, PDAs, TVs, software, etc.) The prices are sometimes better than what you can get... (More)

Faith and Noah Notes

Faith can crawl downstairs now, and off chairs and couches. 1/14 - Faith finally signed milk . She still only does it with prompting, but it's a start. 1/13 - Noah said broccoli with prompting "bwah-kuh-wee" We've been working hard on /k/ and /g/ in... (More)

AT&T HTC Tilt2 Tethering via USB

There is a bizarre issue with AT&T and their latest phone - the tech support folks (even the second level) haven't ever seen one, and the scripts they have are made for the original Tilt, and AT&T somehow hasn't realized that while it probably is possible to do it the "old"... (More)
