Note to self: when going to bed, and walking past a heating vent that is blowing cold air, double check that the furnace is working. 52 degrees in the house this morning, and it isn't that cold out (27 or so).The fan is on constantly, but the ignition isn't turning on, so it seems... (More)

Leaps and Bounds

So last week while I was busy preparing for Jon's 30th birthday party, Noah decided to do a lot of things, even though I didn't have time to blog about them! On 2/7, the very day I wrote about him signing please , he also signed more , and more, please. Jon noticed it first.... (More)

Noah's First Word!

I had been wondering for a few days if I was seeing correctly. But yesterday I knew for sure, and this morning only confirms it. Noah finishes what's on his tray and looks up at me expectantly. I ask, "more, please?" with signs (sometimes it's a full sentence... (More)

Unsupervised Electrical Experiment

I'll begin by assuaging grandparental fears: no one is hurt! And now I'll start from the beginning. As mentioned elsewhere, it is extremely cold out today. We forgot to open the cupboard under the kitchen sink and thus the pipes froze. I put our space heater on... (More)

Turnips and More Numbers

Jonathan likes to eat turnips (just cut up and boiled) - he was exclaiming over them so much I thought it should go into the blog. He counted backwards from five the other day, on his own. He said, "That's Soot-su's address." This morning he drew a "6"... (More)

Helping, Singing, Teething, Reaching

One afternoon we were shredding carrots in the food processor for a salad. Noah was getting upset, so Jonathan said to me, "You go ahead and give Noah milk; I'll finish the carrots." Noah has been wanting to eat more and has had lots of practice feeding bits of things... (More)

Skiing

We finally went skiing for the first time this year and although it was pretty cold, we did have a lot of fun and stayed a lot longer than we did last year. We had a little trouble getting our tickets - it is always hard to find the ski club people, and I was incorrectly asking for Carnegie... (More)

Thoughts on Marriage

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)

Mark 10:15

"Verily I say unto you, Whosoever shall not receive the kingdom of God as a little child, he shall not enter therein." Last week some time, Jonathan asked me to read him a story from his "Ark book" - which is the rhyming children's Bible that we have. We... (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)

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)

Bump Keys

I heard about bump keys recently, and had a little time to play around this morning. I read an article about them, and watched a youtube video , and away I went. It took about 15 minutes to hand-file a key. And then another 20 minutes to try the "pull-back"... (More)
