One reason Jonathan talks so well is because we talk to him like a real person. Children learn by hearing and by imitating. It is sometimes amusing to hear the things that he says. For example, he got a valentine's day card from Aunt Ellie, and as he saw the stickers on the back and was... (More)

Jonathan is a Little Boy

He's thinning out and looking older and doing and saying all sorts of extraordinary things. Here's the catch-up. 1/23 - Told a clerk at the grocery store that his favorite movie is my prenatal excercise video! 1/25 - He found a nametag lanyard and uses it as his stethoscope, to measure the...

Christmas and Vacation

Christmas Eve, we went to a church family's party and then had a candlelight service at church. Christmas Day, there was no service (we meet in a school and they didn't want to make the janitor work on Christmas) so we had the day at home. We woke up and opened stockings (sample toothpaste for... (More)

Lessons and Carols

Heather and I have tried to think of ways to make Christmas be focused on Christ and his birth. This year, we are using ideas from a handful of sites to help us find scriptures and songs to read and sing on Christmas morning. The following scriptures and hymns are what we plan to do in... (More)

Advent, Blinking, Boots

12/22 - We were playing the piano, singing some carols, and Jonathan sang, "Rejoice! Rejoice! Man-u, man-u, man-u, man-u, man-u, shall come!" Later that morning, way before his usual naptime, he was nursing and I saw his eyes roll back in his head, and the lids closing. This surprised me, so I... (More)

Kites, Crayons, Snow, Counting, 2 Year Doctor Visit

Since reading The Cat in the Hat, Jonathan has expressed interest in flying kites. The other day, he said, "Jonathan fly kites, too - three!" On Friday, Mom, Jonathan and I went shopping in the Strip District to get things like cheese, mustard, curry paste and spices. Penzey's Spices has... (More)

Girl Talk, again

Just in case you were wondering whether I am critical of everything on the GirlTalk blog : they linked to a particularly good article (I think, though obviously, I don't have much experience with the topic), by Carolyn Mahaney, the mother of the other three women involved in writing on the blog.

First Snow, 2005

Just for the record, Pittsburgh got snow flurries yesterday. Very fun to watch. A few actually stuck on the car until the sun came out. (More)

Bible Stories, Rodents, Carrots, 2

Jonathan is two years old today. Amazing! When we visited Florida, I found a couple of Bible storybooks (one in rhyme) that were true to the Bible and not boring or condescending. (There are some horrible products out there intended for children.) Jonathan enjoys listening as long as I will... (More)

GnuCash / Debian update

I guess I am asking for it, running the gnucash source (1.8.9), but running everything else from Debian testing. I upgraded like usual, somewhere around every week, and didn't think anything of it, because aptitude/Debian always takes care of everything for me. But yesterday, Heather... (More)

Sovereign Grace Men

As mentioned on the GirlTalk blog , there are a what I think is a disproportionate number of men in the Sovereign Grace churches that believe the best way to show affection to other men is to make fun of them, particularly in public. (I suppose I am continuing the stereotype published by the... (More)

SMTP Authentication

Like so many other articles on this subject, I will start by saying that I looked at various documents, but none of them worked perfectly for me, so I will write up my own steps. Most of the regular readers of this blog will not care at all about SMTP authentication, TLS, SSL, port 25, 465, 587,... (More)

Spam Thoughts

Mark Minasi, a guy who writes a Windows newsletter about various IT tricks and other things related to using a Windows system. This month, the majority of his newsletter was about spam, and I think he missed a couple points, so I wrote to him, and it ended up pretty long, so I figured I might... (More)

Vacuum, Sentences, Stories

10/26 - Jonathan crumbled his biscuit all over the dining room floor, so I asked him if he could vacuum it up. I got out the vacuum cleaner for him, and he did a great job all by himself! Then he wanted to play with the mini vacuum and he found a very funny game of picking up his color bits... (More)

Number Three Is On The Way!

The amazing blessing of new life is upon us again! I am pregnant and we are all thanking God. The baby is due the end of June, 2006. It took me longer to suspect it this time around because my cycles were just returning. But by Monday I thought about my resuming afternoon naps and getting up... (More)
