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)

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)

"CR" Sound, Math Rhymes

Jonathan was rolling out fondant and playing with cookie cutters and talking to himself about them when I heard him say, "cross" correctly! He also said, "green" correctly so I asked him to say "Grammy" and he did! They do sound slightly like... (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)

Ring Bearer, Bible, and More

For the first time, on Wednesday before we left for Erica's wedding, Jonathan said, "You're the best Mommy in the world." Now he frequently says similar heartwarming things. He was the ring bearer at Auntie E's wedding, and he did a superb job. He likes to wear his "wedding clothes" and say... (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)

Thursday Hearing

I hadn't really paid attention to this date, since there have been so many delays and various things, but I just got this from Vicki: Unless we hear otherwise, Judy's hearing is still on for Thursday. I just spoke with Judy and she asked me to post a reminder regarding the hearing.... (More)

Milk and Freedom

Serina wrote a post on raw milk that I started to comment on, when I decided it deserved a whole post on my own blog. I thought the person quoted in the raw milk article made a good point about lettuce, etc. making people sick. Think of the recent spinach/e.coli thing. Are states now... (More)

Scissors, Soot-su

Jonathan has been using scissors for a long time, but I just wanted to write down how cute he is when he cuts things. His mouth opens and closes exactly with each motion of the scissors. Soot-su is the main character in his imaginary world, and now she has been joined by Peddy-Deddy, Ron-ron,... (More)

Fun Weekend (long overdue)

Last weekend, Heather was sick with mastitis, which meant she just wanted to lie in bed all day with flu-like symptoms. It actually started on Friday morning, and she did get progressively better throughout the day, but still decided to stay home from care group that night. I was planning on... (More)

Jonathan Quotes

A while ago, sometime before our vacation, we were out with a friend. It had been a rather long trip - getting some Italian ice, playing at a playground, walking. When we got back into the car, I saw Jonathan do his I-need-to-go-to-the-bathroom shiver. I (probably unwisely) tried to ignore it... (More)

Old Cell Phone...

I tried to re-activate our prepaid phone, but Cingular no longer supports TDMA phones, which is an older standard, but I hadn't realized that GSM had taken over that much. Our cell phone that we use regularly is also TDMA, but the sales guy said that it should last a while, as long as we don't... (More)

ACLJ Harassment

We get a phone call every day between 8:55 and 9:00AM. They are always hangups, but today, I finally answered quick enough to actually get a person. It was the American Center for Law and Justice, and they refused to remove my phone number from their list. I emailed jsekulow@aclj.org... (More)

Bike Trip: Pittsburgh to Moon

I am planning on a couple bike trips in the next couple days, and figured I would write them down, one, in case I ever want to do them again, I will be able to find the route easier, and two, perhaps others will follow in my tire tracks.Based on John Ockerbloom's directions, though I want...
