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)

Lessons and Carols

Heather and I have tried to think of ways to make Christmas be focused on Christ and his birth. This year, we are using ideas from a handful of sites to help us find scriptures and songs to read and sing on Christmas morning. The following scriptures and hymns are what we plan to do in... (More)

Fun Jonathan Quotes

Much of the Jonathan news is best encapsulated by quoting him: 12/15 - We slept late, and/or the garbage truck came early. We were having our pre-get-up nursing and I heard the truck in our street. Jonathan did too, for he lifted up his head and said, "Oopsie, trash truck!" and then sat up. So... (More)

First Prenatal Visit, Third Pregnancy

This morning, Mom, Jonathan and I drove up to the birth center where Jonathan was born for my first prenatal checkup with our midwife. She was so happy to see Jonathan, but he did not understand the part about this being where he was born. (What? He didn't recognize it?!) She said I'm looking... (More)

Rock-a-Bye, Childproof Caps, Jumping and More

Jonathan has been saying, "I'm very happy!" "I'm glad" and similar phrases. He can sing Rock A Bye Baby for the most part and he likes to rock his teddy bear ("Rock a bye teddy bear") and baby Joseph and also to have us rock him. I'm going to attempt to write it the way it sounds because it is... (More)

Sugar and Energy

I have proved it to myself. Eating too much sugar drains my energy, making me tired and lethargic. On the positive side, cutting down on my sugar consumption gives me energy to last through the day! I have heard and read many things about refined sugars, eating raw foods, eating whole foods,... (More)

Tricycle

This morning, in beautiful sunny 60 degree weather, Jonathan successfully rode his tricycle all by himself. Since he has finally been able to reach the pedals, I have helped him by getting him started down the slight grade in the driveway. Today for the first time, he managed to start himself... (More)

ThinkGeek toys

ThinkGeek has lots of fun things for those ... uhh... those people like me. I just saw an advertisement for lightsabers , and I immediately thought of Brian, (Heather's cousin) though it says "Although the blade is very durable, it should never be used for fighting or dueling." One thing... (More)

Pregnancy Update

I just realized I haven't posted about the new baby in a while. We have decided to go to the same midwife that we had for Jonathan's birth. She is very excited and our first appointment will be in the middle of December. I am now 9 weeks along which means that the baby is 7 weeks old. He (I... (More)

Bible Stories, Rodents, Carrots, 2

Jonathan is two years old today. Amazing! When we visited Florida, I found a couple of Bible storybooks (one in rhyme) that were true to the Bible and not boring or condescending. (There are some horrible products out there intended for children.) Jonathan enjoys listening as long as I will... (More)

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)

Sovereign Grace Men

As mentioned on the GirlTalk blog , there are a what I think is a disproportionate number of men in the Sovereign Grace churches that believe the best way to show affection to other men is to make fun of them, particularly in public. (I suppose I am continuing the stereotype published by the... (More)

States, Hiding, Practicing for the New Baby, Sentences

When I told Jonathan about Dad-o's conference in New York, he asked, "Where New York?" So I showed him New York on his US puzzle. While we were there, he showed me New Hampshire and Massachusetts, entirely on his own initiative. The next day, he picked up a piece from the puzzle and ran into the... (More)

SMTP Authentication

Like so many other articles on this subject, I will start by saying that I looked at various documents, but none of them worked perfectly for me, so I will write up my own steps. Most of the regular readers of this blog will not care at all about SMTP authentication, TLS, SSL, port 25, 465, 587,... (More)
