A friend of John Kuhns was asked some questions about marriage and what the point of it is. This was his response: I think you are right that marriage is becoming less and less meaningful these days. People seem to think of marriage as just a very-committed relationship. When you are in a... (More)

The Joy of Watching Them Learn

I've been especially enjoying my boys the last week or so, having fun watching them learn so fast. Specifically, Noah's crawling and Jonathan's recognition of numerals and letters. Noah has now figured out "crawling for transportation." He knows he can do... (More)

RSS Feeds

I have been meaning to get around to putting at least some of these in my "Links" panel on the right, though I suspect that it would be too long to place all of them there. But, anyway, here are the blogs that I read regularly. (The RSS feed reader makes it possible to... (More)

Excommunication

A good post on judging , and making sure to clarify between judging the sin of the world and of the brethren. Do we let people be happy, and not say anything, in order to not rock the boat, or do we speak up? Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his... (More)

Lost Planner, Boys' Events

I lost my planner just before Christmas (as far as I can deduce, in a shopping cart in the parking lot of Jo-Ann's on McKnight Rd - anybody seen it? Please return it, you can keep the gift cards, I just want the information!) It had several notes in it about cute things the boys... (More)

Grandpa Daley

The Concord Monitor wrote a front page story about my grandfather and the place where he (and my great aunt) live, Havenwood-Heritage Heights . I thought this quote accurately describes his outlook on life: Whether I live long enough or not, I don't know. But it's worth a try.... (More)

Food, Babbling, Moving, Looking

Noah, as mentioned in Jon's saturday post, has been grabbing for my food, and I have started giving him tiny squashed samples. This is one of the great differences between him and his big brother, who did not care very much for solid food until at least a year. Yet it's not... (More)

Robbery in Hillsboro, NH?

My mother shared this story in response to an article about " bump keys " and someone suggested that we should all move to NH, where people leave their doors unlocked anyway. Some teenage boys were hanging out in an alley in the center of Hillsboro. Three young men came up to them... (More)

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)

Noah Gets A Post, Too

Noah loves to laugh at himself in the mirror. At Thanksgiving, he figured out that he can pull himself with his elbows in addition to pushing with his knees. This enables him to reach things placed initially out of reach, but it's not coordinated crawling yet. ... (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)

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)

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)
