November in a Nutshell
This month has been full, busy, and blog-sparse.  Because we're actually living life instead of blogging about it!  But here goes: Noah is experimenting more with sounds.  He copies a lot.  Still not much consistently, but here are some things we've heard him say:... (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)

Noah's Visit to the ER
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)

Sunny On Sunday
In college, our friend Volus used to say that it was always sunny on Sunday.  Even if it was gray in the morning, the sun was out by the time church was over.  I found that he was right for the vast majority of the time.  This weekend was no exception.  Saturday was rainy,... (More)

7th Tooth Finally Makes It and Other Stories
Lower left.  It's been bothering him for quite a while.  Glad it's through and I hope the matching one comes quickly so we can have a rest for a while.   Noah has made up his own game that's kind of like Bocce ball.  He holds one ball in his hand, and then uses it... (More)

LifeType update to 1.1.6
One of the LifeType users reported a security problem in the RSS parser that allowed any file on your system to be read.  ick. Oscar has fixed it and 1.1.6 will be released tomorrow. Everyone on my server has been upgraded already and it probably isn't too critical for them, at... (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)

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)

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)

Jonathan Is Three!
Jonathan woke up late on his birthday morning and discovered a bouquet of Happy Birthday balloons tied to the foot of his bed. He had a good long drink of mommy milk and then discovered his birthday crown on the sewing table which he put on after dressing in his "wedding clothes."... (More)

Making Breakfast AKA Jonathan's First Post
Italics are what I (Jon) said during the dictation, though I missed a lot, and didn't type in some of Jonathan's repeated sentences. Daddy went downstairs with me, and I went downstairs with me too.  We didn't get three scrambled eggs, we got four.  (We had a... (More)

Verizon Credit Check
I got a notification from a credit bureau today saying that a new account had been opened by: Verizon Pen, PO BOX 165018, COLUMBUS, OH 43216. Since I haven't changed phone service since last year, it seemed odd that there would be a new account from Verizon.My mortgage company had their backup... (More)

Christmas and Vacation
Christmas Eve, we went to a church family's party and then had a candlelight service at church. Christmas Day, there was no service (we meet in a school and they didn't want to make the janitor work on Christmas) so we had the day at home. We woke up and opened stockings (sample toothpaste for... (More)
