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)

Notes Catchup Part I

2/6 - Joy went down a whole flight of stairs successfully. She slides down forwards on her bottom. Faith was with her this time. By now, she's an old pro at stairs. I bought some mini hair clips for Faith. They are the normal clear, brown, black, swirly brown that hair... (More)

Pocket Notes

More than a month's worth of notes... 10/3 - Joy's diaper was dry all night long. She went in the potty three or four times. This was exciting to me and so the next night I prepared to be diaperless. I spread a waterproof pad, with towels on top. But she and I are so... (More)

Young Adult Fiction

I was going to have Jonathan read this article about the status and progression of fiction , as he sometimes questions why we don't let him read or watch certain things, but then I decided the article itself was more than he needs to know right now. (More)

Pocket Notes

8/21 - I can't remember when babies are "supposed" to get object permanence, but Joy definitely has it. She was playing on her tummy on the kitchen floor with two toys. When she lost them under herself, she looked all around trying to find them again. 8/24 - Jonathan called the... (More)
