Bad Behavior has blocked 721 access attempts in the last 7 days.

Yes, we have a new house! The closing was a little hectic because the seller left a van in the driveway and we had to work out an escrow agreement for them to get rid of it (which still had not been done by last night.) Right after closing, we headed up to do work. We have had... (More)

32 Weeks

We went to our 32 week appointment today and the office was much busier than when we've come before. The baby moved vigorously during the exam and the midwife had a hard time hearing his heartbeat. The first time, he obviously moved away from where she had the fetoscope; on the next try, I... (More)

SSH Login Attempts

I think I have written before about DenyHosts , but this evening, it prevented somewhere around twenty thousand individual hosts trying to login to one of my servers. The hackers have gotten smarter - that they used to just try from one host, which was trivially blockable, even manually.... (More)

Fourth Time's the Charm?

I had delayed posting this since I think people were getting tired of hearing about each house that we put an offer on. But, now that this offer has been accepted, and I don't expect too much trouble with the inspections, I figure it is safe enough to post.I said to a friend the other day,... (More)

Birthday Celebrations

After breakfast on Noah's birthday, we went to the dollar store to buy him some balloons. Jonathan thought Noah shouldn't come, because it would spoil the surprise, but I said that since Noah likes to go on walks, he'd have a happier birthday if he came with us. And what's another 10... (More)

Someday I'll Just Stay Home and Eat Bonbons

On Wednesday, we walked to the Shursave for a regular shopping trip. The only difference in this trip was the lack of milk in the bottom of the cart, since I had just gotten some at Trader Joe's. But it made a big difference for Jonathan! He pulled the cart the whole way home by himself,... (More)

Toll Booths

Jonathan enjoys blocking a doorway and demanding, "Three thousand dollars!" or some such amount. Sometimes he'll block every doorway from the laundry to the bedroom, charging an exorbitant amount of money every time. If there are any complaints, he always says, "Don't worry, it's just... (More)

Conversations With Jonathan

I forgot to write this down before; Jonathan can now spell "Jonathan Daley" all by himself. He used to get stuck after "Jon." He read a book of jokes the other day, and he thought they were hilarious. But he doesn't quite get the concept of "crossing" two things. Jonathan's version:... (More)

28 Weeks

My glucose came back fine and so did the iron. The fundal height is only slightly big - I'm hoping this is a positive indication of not as big a baby as Noah! Also, praise God, this little guy is already head down. Thanks for your prayers on all of those things. After this we're going... (More)

Multi Update

Noah now has many more words that I can write down. They are still mostly only understood by me and Jonathan, but he's using his mouth to communicate. Most words have only the initial consonant and vowel sound (moo for "moose") and some have only part of the word (mo' for "remote") so much... (More)

Connect the Dots

Jonathan got a couple of connect the dots books for Christmas and has recently taken off with them. He can easily do the ones that go up to 25, and I made him a homemade one that went to 40. He likes to make his own and have me or Jon fill them out. Usually he does not label the dots with... (More)

Noah Says More, Jonathan Says Less

Jonathan's Shopping Trip

Life cereal was on sale for $2, and we found a $1 off coupon inside one box. So tonight, Jonathan bought a box of cereal with his own dollar bill. We all walked to the store together. Jonathan found the cereal aisle by himself and saw where the cereal was, but had Daddy reach up to... (More)

It's Alive!

So, what happens when you take a Handspring that died one day and wouldn't recover after various testing, and leave it in a box to take apart one day to see if it was anything obvious, but mostly forget about it for a year, and then pick it up and put batteries in it? It starts... (More)

First Employee/Contractor!

I had turned down some work the other day, and as I thought about it more, realized that I was ready to hire someone to work for me. I talked to a dad at church, and he thought it was a good idea, and his son was interested as well. It turns out that he has less programming... (More)
