We went camping last weekend with some friends from Providence Church and the Venables. We went to a fairly new, no RV, family-run place near Moraine State Park called Breakneck Campground . We arrived early, since we didn't have to wait for Jon to be done with work (yay Lime... (More)

Debian Updates vs. Windows Updates

Everyone always says how user-friendly Windows is, and as I sit here waiting for my Windows computer to endlessly update itself, I am struck by how much harder it is to update my Windows laptop than all of my Linux (Debian) servers put together. On Debian: Type "aptitude",... (More)

"You must dial a 1 for this call to go through"

I have been having lots of fun (that's the bad kind of fun, not the good kind) configuring Asterisk for my new IT job. It has been a pretty big pain getting it to work correctly with a couple different VOIP providers as well as the landlines. I had a good day today, figuring both how... (More)

XP vs. Vista

I was recently asked by a Microsoft engineer why I am still asking questions about Windows XP when I should be using Vista, since it is better for various reasons. My response is below, which he called, "stunningly clear", and said that he had already forwarded it onto his executive... (More)

Scripture Memory

Hide 'Em In Your Heart scripture memory CDs by Steve Green gets my hearty recommendation for anyone with or without children who wants to memorize scripture in a fun and easy way.

New Skills

At the Maggie P, Jonathan learned how to tie knots. Now he ties ropes all around the yard in a great booby-trap for potential robbers (or mail carriers.) He can also put a pillowcase on a pillow without assistance. And finally (to my slight sadness - isn't motherhood weird?)... (More)

Walking to the Store

Monday, Noah walked all the way to the ShurSave on his own two legs. He also pushed the stroller the last half. The only exception was that I carried him across Friendship Ave because his walking speed is not yet up to crossing that busier road. In other news, he can say... (More)

Walking Down Stairs

Noah just walked down from the third floor to the second facing forward, holding the railing, all by himself! This railing is lower than normal, I noted with Jonathan that it's a great way to start learning. On another note, Noah has another word, "go." (More)

Rashes and Power Failures

Jon first noticed red spots on Jonathan's tongue and soft palate while brushing his teeth. Then we noticed bug bite/pimple-like spots on his knees and then Noah's knees. Then Noah got more and more spots all around the edges of is diaper area and some on arms and legs. ... (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)
