Just before 7:00 this morning, I thought I heard some sounds, so looked out the window to see a pickup truck but no backhoe. The backhoe arrived just after 7 and Jonathan watched out the window while I got ready for the day. Daddy said we could go out to look before breakfast since... (More)

Noah's First Step!

Well, Grammy, he didn't wait for you. For your sake, I'm sorry, but it's really hard to be sad about such a fun milestone! I think he didn't even intend to do it. He pushed up to standing from my leg, then took a step, then grabbed my shoulder and took... (More)

Car Accident on Penn Avenue

I am up late working on some code, and all of a sudden there is a really loud noise, and I look out my window and watch a car turn kind of sideways and roll over. As far as I can tell there wasn't a second car involved, but I don't know what could have happened to make him flip... (More)

Chef Jonathan

While cooking our breakfast on Saturday, I saw that Heather had put the potatoes on the counter, meaning that we should eat them soon, and not forget about them in their normal storage place. I asked Jonathan how we should cook the potatoes for dinner, and he said that we should make... (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)

It's Not A Thankless Job

Jonathan and I were drawing and coloring together downstairs. At one point, I had written his name, and then when we were cutting things, I cut a heart out around his name. Soon after, I went to change Noah's diaper. I heard Jonathan say, "How do you spell... (More)
