Yesterday, I mailed the payoff check for our mortgage. This is very exciting for us. To be completely debt free (even of 'good' debt) and really truly own our house. Sure, it helps to have a house that didn't cost very much to start with. But we have been... (More)

Jonathan: "I know why Isaac died." Mommy [thinking she'd like to know]: "You do? " Jonathan: "It's because his body stopped working." Directly after the above: Jonathan: "If Jesus didn't die on the cross..." Mommy... (More)

Modesty Survey

I never knew Josh Harris had brothers, but I recently found out about their web site , and a survey they have published - the questions were based on questions and comments from women who were interested in what guys thought about different articles of clothing, make-up, etc. The survey... (More)

7th Tooth Finally Makes It and Other Stories

Lower left. It's been bothering him for quite a while. Glad it's through and I hope the matching one comes quickly so we can have a rest for a while. Noah has made up his own game that's kind of like Bocce ball. He holds one ball in his hand, and then uses it... (More)

Jon's 30th Birthday Party

We had a big bash, hosted by the Moores. I invited all our Pittsburgh friends that I had valid email addresses for. (So if you missed it and are disappointed, send me your correct email address!) Total attendees: 45 (including babies.) We all had a lot of fun, and I'd like to... (More)

Heat/Furnace

Note to self: when going to bed, and walking past a heating vent that is blowing cold air, double check that the furnace is working. 52 degrees in the house this morning, and it isn't that cold out (27 or so).The fan is on constantly, but the ignition isn't turning on, so it seems... (More)

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)
