Yesterday, Jonathan did and said several things of note. He counted to 100 all by himself! (He still has to think really hard and is not consistent yet, but he did it once.) He asked how to spell "tub" and "bath" and then said,... (More)

Smile For The Camera

I somehow missed when Street View (and for that matter - Terrain ) showed up on Google Maps. I am not sure when that happened. Actually, now that I look at the demo video, I did see the demo before, but I hadn't seen when it came to our house. You can't quite see how ripe our... (More)

Walking Adventure: 3 vegetables: 2 guys: 2 miles: 1 bathroom stop

I felt like going for a walk today, so Jonathan and I headed out, and I let Jonathan decide where we would go at each turn . We talked some about compass directions, and where the sun was, and sometimes he had an idea which way home was (and then would immediately turn so as to avoid... (More)

Noah Chipped A Tooth

I was washing my hands at the bathroom sink, and Noah came excitedly running up with a toy boat. But in his excitement, he smashed his face into the corner of the sink. He cried surprisingly little, considering that there was blood in his mouth. But I didn't notice the chip... (More)

Krypto Solver Usage

I have been looking through my web access logs trying to track down a pesky LifeType bug. And I came across someone who had used my Krypto solver one day and then tried to come back a couple days, but mistyped the URL as kyrpto, which of course didn't work. So, then he went to... (More)

Fun with Spam

I have been getting a bunch of spam through my contact form over the last couple of days, so I thought I would check out what they are trying to do. The domain's contact information is protected by privacyprotect.org, so we can't know who they are, though I filled out a form showing... (More)

Spelling, Counting, Play and More

11/28 - Sanda has been teaching us Romanian, and one day Jonathan was asking what various random words were. We thought he said, "walk" and Sanda hesitated because it's a verb, so when she asked him to clarify (I walk, you walk, she walks?) he said, "No! Not 'walk' with a... (More)

Do Not Call Lists

We have been getting more and more sales calls lately. I try to take the time to report them to the do not call lists, both for our state and for the country. We are supposed to get $100 for each violation (where the caller pays $1000). But, I haven't ever gotten any money.... (More)

I'm Sorry, Your Product is Obsolete

This is what the HP technical support person said to me when I called about our printer. Our faithful HP LaserJet 6L, which was manufactured 10.5 years ago, and given to us 6(7?) years ago. It printed Mom's boarding pass just fine, and then one day later, all three indicator lights... (More)

30 Day Organizational Challenge Finish Line

Here is my original post to enter the contest, here is my update . Our computer room/guest room is now functional and neat. There are still two actively-being-worked-on server computers on the card table in the room. We had hoped to have them both in their finished... (More)

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)

Challenge Update

Normally, when we have an update to a post, we just put it in the comments, but since I've entered us in the 30-Day Challenge , here's a separate post to link up. Now before any other "challengees" faint when they see my pictures, I'll remind you that we have guests coming... (More)

30 Day Organizational Challenge

My friends Bonnie and Liz participated in the last Challenge, and quite intimidated me by doing so. But I put OrgJunkie's blog in my reader (one of only three strangers' blogs I read) and have slowly been gaining confidence. The real enouragement I give myself is to note what... (More)

Good Things

I have been tagged by Liz . I usually skip participating in such things, but I like this topic. It is always good to remember blessings and give thanks. 1. Jon is working from home - this is so good for our family. The flexibility of his home hours are good for me and... (More)

Miscellany

Jonathan loves to create meals and side dishes. On 10/2, he made a vegetable salad that we have recreated several times. Carrots, cucumbers, tomatoes, radishes, onions, with one lemon's worth of juice as a dressing. Simple and delicious. 10/12 - I was in the basement... (More)
