We're back from a lovely two weeks at the best little house in the world. I'll save time (so much to catch up on!) by linking to Janet's first post and you can proceed through all five entries. The boys absolutely loved the sand and water and freedom. It was... (More)

Taking His Name

" Thou shalt not take the name of the LORD thy God in vain; for the LORD will not hold him guiltless that taketh his name in vain." Exodus 20:7 (KJV) I've been thinking more recently about what this means. I grew up thinking that it pretty much just meant don't... (More)

Beauty, Makeup, Hair

Reading my sister's post about her adventure as a bridesmaid has reminded me to write about my dear husband. I, like my sister, am not interested in makeup (we do have the same mother!), and am blessed with a husband whose thoughts on makeup are, "But I want to be able to kiss... (More)

Camping

Last weekend, we went to Keystone State Park with the Tomans. We got a group campsite so we could put both tents together. It was right on the lake and separate enough from other sites for privacy. I hadn't done much with our camping supplies since two years ago, and some of... (More)

Macintosh / Core Fun House

I started a new IT job recently, and the majority of the people there have Macs, so I have been bringing one home in order to learn more about them. They have come a long way in 20 years, when I used to play on a Macintosh SE (with three floppy drives, a nice bonus so you didn't have... (More)

Snowballs in June

The Carnegie Science Center has a promotion that if you bring a snowball in on the first day of summer, they give you free admission. Although this was the first year I'd heard of it, everyone else in Pittsburgh knew about it, too. We'd planned on getting there when it opened,... (More)

13th Tooth, More Steps, Down Stairs

6/15 - Upper left canine begins to poke through. 6/18 - Two steps in the morning, three in the evening! He continues to try walking more often, usually one or two steps before deciding that crawling is better. But yesterday, he did start crawling to me, then stood up before... (More)

Yesterday, Noah poked a coat hanger into his eye. All is well now, but I wanted to post the adventure. My mom wrote up the story after my phone conversation with her, so I'm going to paste that here to save typing. I'll interject where I want to add details or... (More)

All Is Safe In The World Again

I am in the middle of a non-direct red-eye flight from Seattle to Pittsburgh. I was supposed to go to Charlotte, NC on the way, but USAir called(!) last night to tell me to come a half hour early to the airport (I was already there and had already checked in, and having a relaxing dinner... (More)

Walk

I went on a fairly long walk tonight (take a look at the topological map too, there were some decent hills) - I am in Seattle with one of my customers who is having their annual retreat, and invited me to come along. We are staying at the Palisades Retreat Center , which is a lovely place to... (More)

BCF Orchestra Concert Pictures

Our new church has a youth orchestra that Jon has become part of. They did a few concerts at local nursing homes last weekend and I got some pictures and videos. The main reason for this post is to explain the videos. Our camera isn't primarily a video camera, so it... (More)
