Having prenatal appointments every week is not giving me much leeway for blogging. I just had another appointment today and realized that I have not blogged about last week's. First, Noah had his 2 year appointment last Wednesday. 35.5 lb, 37" He didn't like the poking and... (More)

Birthday Celebrations

After breakfast on Noah's birthday, we went to the dollar store to buy him some balloons. Jonathan thought Noah shouldn't come, because it would spoil the surprise, but I said that since Noah likes to go on walks, he'd have a happier birthday if he came with us. And what's another 10... (More)

What Do People Search For?

I just updated Usermin, and so wanted to make sure that my custom modules didn't break. And in the process, poked around through my webalizer module, which shows the things that people type into search engines to end up at our blog as well as the number of hits for certain pages. ... (More)

Easter Stargazing

We had Easter dinner at the Venables with four families (total.) It was a fun time and we got home after it was fully dark. As I was getting Noah out of the car I noticed that the sky was perfectly clear and the stars were shining as much as you can expect in a city. I saw... (More)

Forks, Thinking of Talking, Dictionary, How God Makes Little Girls

Noah likes to help set the table. When I ask him to put forks at the places, he will run to the drawer and grab a fistfull, then put a fork on top of each plate. I usually have to help him put away the extras, or they end up all over the place. He's also been copying words... (More)

Subtraction, Reading, Memorization

Last night Jonathan was helping me set the table for dinner. He said we should get five plates, but I said no, Noah has his tray so he doesn't need a plate. But he could get five bowls for the chili, and five spoons. Then I said, "Make two of them big spoons."... (More)

Christmas/Vacation/Home Again

Can I condense three weeks of activities into one post? We'll see how it turns out. One thing we discovered at Christmastime is that Noah loves cocktail sauce. He just dipped his finger in and licked it off, licked the bowl clean and wanted more! We had Christmas at... (More)

Do Not Call Lists

We have been getting more and more sales calls lately. I try to take the time to report them to the do not call lists, both for our state and for the country. We are supposed to get $100 for each violation (where the caller pays $1000). But, I haven't ever gotten any money.... (More)

November in a Nutshell

This month has been full, busy, and blog-sparse. Because we're actually living life instead of blogging about it! But here goes: Noah is experimenting more with sounds. He copies a lot. Still not much consistently, but here are some things we've heard him say:... (More)

Miscellany

Jonathan loves to create meals and side dishes. On 10/2, he made a vegetable salad that we have recreated several times. Carrots, cucumbers, tomatoes, radishes, onions, with one lemon's worth of juice as a dressing. Simple and delicious. 10/12 - I was in the basement... (More)

Canadian Thanksgiving 2007

We headed out Friday morning, listening to The Nutmeg of Consolation by Patrick O'Brian on the way. At our first stop, for gas, Jon realized that he hadn't brought his wallet. One of our stops was at our "usual" rest area, the one with the pedestrian walkways over the... (More)

Camping and Fishing

We went camping last weekend with some friends from Providence Church and the Venables. We went to a fairly new, no RV, family-run place near Moraine State Park called Breakneck Campground . We arrived early, since we didn't have to wait for Jon to be done with work (yay Lime... (More)

Camping

Last weekend, we went to Keystone State Park with the Tomans. We got a group campsite so we could put both tents together. It was right on the lake and separate enough from other sites for privacy. I hadn't done much with our camping supplies since two years ago, and some of... (More)

All Is Safe In The World Again

I am in the middle of a non-direct red-eye flight from Seattle to Pittsburgh. I was supposed to go to Charlotte, NC on the way, but USAir called(!) last night to tell me to come a half hour early to the airport (I was already there and had already checked in, and having a relaxing dinner... (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)
