Car Radio

I finally got around to taking apart our radio in our car that has had a CD stuck in it since we purchased the car. The dashboard came out unexpectedly easily, so I should have done it a long time ago -- I had been intimidated by not seeing any obvious screws, but when I yanked on it,... (More)

Spelling and Reading

Jonathan was wearing a shirt he got from Auntie E for Christmas and he looked down at his chest and said, "zero-s-h-k-zero-s-h. Oshkosh!" That was interesting to me because when he was first learning numerals, he called zeroes "o." When I menioned that in... (More)

Leaps and Bounds

So last week while I was busy preparing for Jon's 30th birthday party, Noah decided to do a lot of things, even though I didn't have time to blog about them! On 2/7, the very day I wrote about him signing please , he also signed more , and more, please. Jon noticed it first.... (More)

Noah's First Word!

I had been wondering for a few days if I was seeing correctly. But yesterday I knew for sure, and this morning only confirms it. Noah finishes what's on his tray and looks up at me expectantly. I ask, "more, please?" with signs (sometimes it's a full sentence... (More)

Creeping Video and Other Pictures

Noah now prefers creeping on hands and knees - you can see a video on his pictures page. I also think he went from sitting to crawling once today, but I didn'tt actually see the process. Other pictures are up, including a picture of Jonathan's maze he solved all by... (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)

Turnips and More Numbers

Jonathan likes to eat turnips (just cut up and boiled) - he was exclaiming over them so much I thought it should go into the blog. He counted backwards from five the other day, on his own. He said, "That's Soot-su's address." This morning he drew a "6"... (More)

Pincer Grasp!

Noah can now pick up cheerios with his index finger and thumb, with both hands. He's creeping a bit more, but not consistently enough for getting a video yet. I've always thought that a double sneeze was just two sneezes in a row, but Noah proves me wrong. He goes... (More)

Helping, Singing, Teething, Reaching

One afternoon we were shredding carrots in the food processor for a salad. Noah was getting upset, so Jonathan said to me, "You go ahead and give Noah milk; I'll finish the carrots." Noah has been wanting to eat more and has had lots of practice feeding bits of things... (More)

Skiing

We finally went skiing for the first time this year and although it was pretty cold, we did have a lot of fun and stayed a lot longer than we did last year. We had a little trouble getting our tickets - it is always hard to find the ski club people, and I was incorrectly asking for Carnegie... (More)

Thoughts on Marriage

A friend of John Kuhns was asked some questions about marriage and what the point of it is. This was his response: I think you are right that marriage is becoming less and less meaningful these days. People seem to think of marriage as just a very-committed relationship. When you are in a... (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)

RSS Feeds

I have been meaning to get around to putting at least some of these in my "Links" panel on the right, though I suspect that it would be too long to place all of them there. But, anyway, here are the blogs that I read regularly. (The RSS feed reader makes it possible to... (More)
