Sunday, February 19, 2006, Jonathan went skiing for the first time. Just after 11am, we headed east to Seven Springs, which is the closest/best mountain to Pittsburgh. We arrived at the parking lot at 12:45, then took a shuttle to the lodge. We got off at the wrong place and had to walk to the... (More)

Memory and Imitation

One reason Jonathan talks so well is because we talk to him like a real person. Children learn by hearing and by imitating. It is sometimes amusing to hear the things that he says. For example, he got a valentine's day card from Aunt Ellie, and as he saw the stickers on the back and was... (More)

Singing, Independence

Recently, Jonathan has liked to sit in his little chair with his guitar, strumming and singing, "I love Mommy. She is beautiful. I love Mommy." Now there's a sweet Valentine! On Thursday I was uploading the pictures from the camera, which turned out to be a big job because there were still... (More)

Jonathan is a Little Boy

He's thinning out and looking older and doing and saying all sorts of extraordinary things. Here's the catch-up. 1/23 - Told a clerk at the grocery store that his favorite movie is my prenatal excercise video! 1/25 - He found a nametag lanyard and uses it as his stethoscope, to measure the...

18 Weeks

Wednesday was the second prenatal appointment. It was just barely starting to snow when we left Pittsburgh, and by the time we got to the small country road where our midwife is, it was a little slippery. Jon is good at driving in snow, but he still missed the turn into their driveway. Our... (More)

Phone, Lotion, Prunes, Prayer, Growing

Jonathan can really have a conversation on the phone now. He even has good one-sided ones when he is just pretending. For example, "Hello, Mrs. Grover! How are you? You're feeling good. Good!" "Hello, Grandma. I love you, too. Bye." On Tuesday, Jonathan asked me to get the lotion for him,... (More)

Innocent Pleasures

At our church's marriage retreat last weekend, we got a copy of "Innocent Pleasures" by David Powlinson, an article that was in the fall issue of The Journal of Biblical Counseling .I finished reading it this morning and found it to be quite good. David spoke of the evil and glory of little... (More)

Saving Efax Documents

I have used Efax for a long time. I have heard that their customer service is horrible, and there are a couple alternatives to them. I just use their free fax-receiving only, and it has come in handy a handful of times. Today someone needed to fax something to China, which who knows how much... (More)

Random Thought - Grandma's Sweaters

I was talking with a friend the other day about grandmothers knitting and sweaters they give for Christmas. Her comment was, "I loved my grandma, but those things were hideous." Then I related how I always loved the things my grandma knitted for me. I was just thinking about it again recently.... (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)

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)
