Not Forgotten
Just because we were too busy to post does not mean we did not think about Isaac this Thanksgiving.  Tuesday the 21st was his 4th birthday.  At women's Bible study we sang a song about the people of God, the Church, Christ's body - and one phrase reminded me of the support in... (More)

Longer Sentences, More Complex Ideas, Growing Responsibility
Jonathan likes to play with the water in the sink, using cups and sponges, etc. I have a "three strikes" rule - after water gets on the floor three times, he has to turn it off and stop playing.

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)

10/26 - Jonathan crumbled his biscuit all over the dining room floor, so I asked him if he could vacuum it up. I got out the vacuum cleaner for him, and he did a great job all by himself!

Grammy Teaches a Sign
Grammy likes to sing "If You're Happy and You Know it" and one of her verses is "duh" with the hand motion of smacking your forehead. She sang it on the bus to Jonathan on our way to the museum. This evening at dinner, Grammy offered Jonathan some of her coconut ice cream and he said no. Grammy... (More)
