This is what makes it all worth while

So last week I was worn out with the extra work that unexpected messes bring. Today I'm tired but happy about it. Yesterday, Jon left very early to go on the church men's retreat. Our morning at home started out pretty badly (bickering/fighting) and the boys had to go run around... (More)

Jeremiah's Birth Story

My due date was February 21. Jonathan, Noah, and Faith had all been exactly five days late. Joy was early, but we weren't sure of her date and the more we thought about it the more we figured she probably had been late as well. So we had Linda and Porter schedule their flight to arrive... (More)

Notes Catchup Part II, the Whirlwind

Last catchup ended on the weekend of the fire company banquet. That weekend was also the beginning of the new adventure. Two different people called up to ask about looking to buy our house. No, not the one we're fixing up to sell. The one we're living in. Well, ok,... (More)

Interesting? Message From Microsoft

I received a free "embedded" light from Microsoft a number of years ago. I put "embedded" in quotes, because I think it is funny that Microsoft considers a lightbulb connected to a USB power source an example of an embedded device. I guess I haven't looked that carefully, but I... (More)

Imagine There's No Pizza

I recently discovered that due to changes by Facebook and Google, quickly sharing items is harder than it used to be. There are a couple things I shared recently that I thought good enough to actually type up a post here. (you may agree or disagree about my choices of "good enough")... (More)
