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...

Random Thought - Grandma's Sweaters

I was talking with a friend the other day about grandmothers knitting and sweaters they give for Christmas. Her comment was, "I loved my grandma, but those things were hideous." Then I related how I always loved the things my grandma knitted for me. I was just thinking about it again recently.... (More)

First Prenatal Visit, Third Pregnancy

This morning, Mom, Jonathan and I drove up to the birth center where Jonathan was born for my first prenatal checkup with our midwife. She was so happy to see Jonathan, but he did not understand the part about this being where he was born. (What? He didn't recognize it?!) She said I'm looking... (More)

Rock-a-Bye, Childproof Caps, Jumping and More

Jonathan has been saying, "I'm very happy!" "I'm glad" and similar phrases. He can sing Rock A Bye Baby for the most part and he likes to rock his teddy bear ("Rock a bye teddy bear") and baby Joseph and also to have us rock him. I'm going to attempt to write it the way it sounds because it is... (More)

Firefox Hacks

Well, I followed the directions on one of those "speed up firefox" pages, and found a setting that broke stuff, at least minimally, and it was hard to diagnose. The symptom was a red line through the padlock icon when viewing an ssl page that I wrote in PHP. If I reloaded the page, it would go... (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)

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)

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)

Jon Goes To The ER

Based on an excruciating headache Wednesday afternoon, October 12, that did not go away, Jon and I headed to West Penn Hospital Emergency Room at 10:30pm. A friend came to the house to watch Jonathan while he slept. Here is an aside - it was so good for Jonathan that he did not come, he would... (More)

Canada Part II

This will be short because there is catch-up to do. Saturday we went shopping for Thanksgiving dinner and apple picking. Jonathan slept through the whole apple picking trip, even though his car seat was placed in a wagon that got a very bumpy ride through the orchard. We picked a half-bushel... (More)

Internet

Since it appears that Speakeasy is not going to be able to figure out how to reconnect our internet, at least for a while, I got internet working simultaneously on our desktop and our laptop this morning.The trick is that the laptop has the modem, and only has a wireless network connection to the...

Visiting Canada, Part I

Thursday morning, we drove up to Jon's Aunt Janet's place in Hamilton, Ontario. We stopped at "our" Wal-Mart at the two hour mark for a bathroom break and to buy some snacks. (I think we've stopped there every time we go that way - it must just be at a good break point.) Going through customs... (More)

The United States

Jonathan got out the large United States puzzle yesterday and had fun playing with the pieces. He would pick up one and I'd tell him what it was. Then he dumped the whole thing out and he would try to put them in. It's a little hard because the pieces don't stay in their places unless all the... (More)

House in NH

Mom found this house while canoeing in the Merrimack River, and thinks it is just perfect for us. It does look great! There is a lot of land (13 acres) and a lovely place for the Black Rabbit to launch from. We have gotten used to Pittsburgh housing prices, so anything is a shock, but this... (More)
