Global Warming

We got our gas bill for February - the highest we have gotten in a long time. Apparently, the average temperature was eleven degrees colder than last year, causing us to use two and a half time more gas than we did last February. We did leave our heat on more last month than usual, but... (More)

The Alphabet Song

Sung at a reasonable pace, it takes about 30 seconds to sing. I have been using it as a device for preparing Jonathan (and myself) for the end of a nursing session (usually two times through.) One not surprising result is that Jonathan is good at singing it himself now. His one... (More)

Home Owners For Real!

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)

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)

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)

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)
