Fairly Mindless Entertainment
This game would be better if it were random, but still kind of fun.  I think 17 seconds was my high score on my desktop, and I just it again before posting on my laptop, and I only got to 11 seconds.  Perhaps I am just more tired, or else it might be showing the difference between a... (More)

Corneal Abrasion
Sunday morning, after playing outside before church, Jonathan came to me complaining that his eye hurt.  It was red and watering, but I could not see any foreign object.  It continued to be irritated, so I wondered if it might be pinkeye. The pain would come in waves, hurting... (More)

Noah's Visit to the ER
Yesterday, Noah poked a coat hanger into his eye.  All is well now, but I wanted to post the adventure.  My mom wrote up the story after my phone conversation with her, so I'm going to paste that here to save typing.  I'll interject where I want to add details or... (More)

Beginning Puzzles, Candles, MEAT!
5/18 - Noah sucessfully put back one of his big knob puzzle pieces.   In the last few days, Jonathan has been interested in lighting a candle at the table (not just for dinner, but anytime.)  He can now strike a match and light the candle all by himself.  (I have strongly... (More)

Sunny On Sunday
In college, our friend Volus used to say that it was always sunny on Sunday.  Even if it was gray in the morning, the sun was out by the time church was over.  I found that he was right for the vast majority of the time.  This weekend was no exception.  Saturday was rainy,... (More)

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)

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)

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)

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)
