Grammy and Papa bought a playground for their backyard, "In memory of Isaac and in honor of all [their] grandchildren." Two weekends ago, we went to New Hampshire to help them assemble it. It was a fun and busy weekend. The playground is big and immensely fun. Even though we were not... (More)

Life With Three

...is going great, but has its challenges. I'm probably not the only one to brush someone's teeth with one hand while bouncing a crying baby with the other. But bedtime is pretty much the only time of high demand from all at once. Jonathan is great about waiting and about helping Faith... (More)

Carroll Street is Officially For Rent

We signed up for a new phone number for dealing with rental stuff, and bought the numbers to go on the sign today. Three hours later, we got our first call. Crazy. I haven't gotten around to getting it on Craig's List yet or anything. The guy is deciding between a house and a... (More)

The Birth Story of Faith Elizabeth Daley

On a Wednesday, two days past my due date, the midwives scheduled me for post-dates testing at the hospital the next week. At first these only consist of a non-stress test (monitoring to be sure the baby's heart rate increases when he moves) and an ultrasound to confirm adequate amniotic... (More)

Water and Power

Our family had been emailing around about the wind and rain from a recent storm, the power outages, and water in our basement, and a couple questions came up, and I thought I would post them here, that perhaps other people are interested in the goings on at our new house. 40% (18,000)... (More)

It's a Girl!

Our first daughter was born this evening at 6:35, weighing in at 9 pounds, 3 ounces and 20 and 3/4 inches long. She doesn't currently have a name that we know of yet, but those of you who have been around at the boys' births probably won't be too surprised at that. So, I guess for now,... (More)

40 Weeks

Had a midwife appointment today. All stats are good, baby seems to be about 8 1/2 lbs (tall and skinny, the midwife thinks.) (S)he is a bit turned posterior at the moment, but I am not too concerned because it's not very much, and as long as Mommy gets to be in whatever position she feels... (More)

Little Plumber

Noah loves to help Daddy with the plumbing in the new house. In fact, he had a hard time making the decision about whether he should stay home and plumb with Daddy or come to the zoo with the rest of us. (After Jonathan exclaimed about the baby elephants, Noah eventually decided to come to... (More)

Blue Shirt Picture

My sister says I need to update my style. Same shirt, same glasses, same hair... I guess I just take after Mom that way. Here now, for your amusement, is a collage of me near the end of each of my pregnancies. They are labelled with letters so you can guess which is which if you'd... (More)

Waiting, Quotes

I have to say that the real baby is much more squashed in me than that little graphic baby is on the sidebar. (S)he pokes up knees and heels all the time and increasingly presses on my bladder. I am ready to go, but still have plenty of things I can do while waiting. When Mom and Janet... (More)

Appointments, Painting, Settling In

Having prenatal appointments every week is not giving me much leeway for blogging. I just had another appointment today and realized that I have not blogged about last week's. First, Noah had his 2 year appointment last Wednesday. 35.5 lb, 37" He didn't like the poking and... (More)

Hot Water Recirculator is a Waste of Money

Our new house has fairly long hot water lines to the kitchen and bathroom, so I was looking for different solutions to getting there to be hot water quicker. I researched some tankless heaters, and for the kitchen and washing machine (on one trunk) a small heater (12 amps) would have worked... (More)

Water, Water Everywhere, and Lots of Drops to Drink!

We are back at our new house, and had the first taste of our water (unfiltered). We got the bacteria test results back today, which said the bleaching of the well was successful, and no coliform bacteria exist any more (or at least, less than 1 part per million). The "MetalMaster" will... (More)

New House, Cleaning, Fixing

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)

Water testing

This started out as a reply to an email to Heather's parents, but I figured maybe other people are interested in the thought process about water quality. After lots of hours looking at water things today, I think we will definitely get a " MetalMaster " which gets rid of... (More)
