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)

A Couple More Links

Here are the last ones to share, I'll try to be more careful in the future to link to posts properly when I "share" things, so you can actually see the content regardless of whether facebook or google or the original poster make it difficult... Statistics in science : I don't quite... (More)

Rest

I think Heather generally does a good job (though I think she might not be taking as many naps as she should be at the moment) of getting rest, and happy to have people come cook and clean for her, but it is always a good reminder to make sure we get enough rest . (More)

Distributed Social Networks?

I came across yet another version of a distributed social network, this one with hardware. FreedomBox Foundation is working on figuring out how to make tons of tiny little web servers that take out the centralized model. The New York Times has a decent article on explaining why... (More)

Long Time Coming - Pocket Notes

6/14 - On our camping trip, Faith liked to play Ice Cream Shop. Her flavors are unique: pineapple hot sauce, strawberry beet, water, to name a few. After those, I requested just plain ice creams, though she really wanted to put hot sauce on most of them. We finally settled on a... (More)

Shards of Glass and Other Ways My Life Isn't Perfect

Jon was with a bunch of people we don't see often last night, and one of the men mentioned that his wife was discouraged by all these homeschooling mother-of-many type blogs where everyone has all their lives together and nothing goes wrong. So I thought I'd post how my life is not... (More)

Lots of Notes

Joy Ellen Daley - Born This Morning!

Heather will surely write a more detailed post for those wanting those details, but for now, a shorter post will have to do. We got home from a friend's birthday party last night, and Heather was having some contractions, but since the due date was still a ways away, figured it couldn't... (More)

A Full, Crazy, Fun Week

11/6 - Noah and I were making rice krispie treats and Noah was stirring. He asked for a marshmallow, but I said no, they had to go in the recipe and he could have one of the finished products. Well, he decided to snitch and got a natural lesson. I, only a few feet away in the... (More)
