We signed up for a new phone number for dealing with rental stuff, and bought the numbers to go on the sign today. Three hours later, we got our first call. Crazy. I haven't gotten around to getting it on Craig's List yet or anything. The guy is deciding between a house and a... (More)

The Birth Story of Faith Elizabeth Daley

On a Wednesday, two days past my due date, the midwives scheduled me for post-dates testing at the hospital the next week. At first these only consist of a non-stress test (monitoring to be sure the baby's heart rate increases when he moves) and an ultrasound to confirm adequate amniotic... (More)

Water and Power

Our family had been emailing around about the wind and rain from a recent storm, the power outages, and water in our basement, and a couple questions came up, and I thought I would post them here, that perhaps other people are interested in the goings on at our new house. 40% (18,000)... (More)

32 Weeks

We went to our 32 week appointment today and the office was much busier than when we've come before. The baby moved vigorously during the exam and the midwife had a hard time hearing his heartbeat. The first time, he obviously moved away from where she had the fetoscope; on the next try, I... (More)

Walks and Drawing

On 6/20, Noah walked up the stairs without holding onto the wall or railing. His hands were full with a water bottle, and he just carefully stepped his way up. Noah loves to go on walks and will often beg to go out, and put on his sandals before getting an answer. He's starting... (More)

Noah Says More, Jonathan Says Less

Jonathan wants me to write that he says, "blaller, blaller, hee haw haw." Noah, on the other hand has some more words and signs. Well, one sign, cereal . Words are "down" (dow), "beep" and "bird" which really sounds like (bee.)... (More)

ReleaseForge for SourceForge

I found a link to this application a while ago, but never took the time to check it out. Fortunately, it stuck in the back of my mind that there was a handy application, although even handier that I had saved my bookmarks from an old computer, because I couldn't remember the name, and I... (More)

Happy April Fool's Day

It seems to be the idea this year to release the April Fool's day jokes early, perhaps to give them more credibility, or maybe simply to join with the Australians. I hadn't heard of the spaghetti tree joke before, but that is a pretty good one. I showed Jonathan and Noah the... (More)

Catch-up

2/9 - Jonathan: "What does special mean?" I say something about someone/thing that someone cares for. "How much do you care for me?" Well, I don't think I can really measure that. "Well, you may care for me abundantly. " 2/12 - Noah is putting the dipthongs into his "hi" and... (More)

Taxes

Whew... For some reason, taxes took longer than they have in other years. Part of the time was spent trying to get out of a federal tax penalty for not calculating the estimated taxes correctly. We spent 14.63 hours (courtesy of worklog ), mostly together working on them. I... (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)

Random Stuff

Just when I thought I was a geek, the bar is raised... I forgot to post this a while ago: Tim Hawkins and the "homeschool family". Prairie Home Sausage is kind of funny - and has a picture of a really neat merry-go-round. Lastly, being... (More)

Christmas Present from Verizon

For some reason, Verizon thought it would be a good idea to reconfigure their network early morning Christmas Eve (or late the night before, I am not sure which). Unfortunately, they transferred me to a broken gateway, which has 3 minutes outages every fifteen minutes or so.... (More)

Smile For The Camera

I somehow missed when Street View (and for that matter - Terrain ) showed up on Google Maps. I am not sure when that happened. Actually, now that I look at the demo video, I did see the demo before, but I hadn't seen when it came to our house. You can't quite see how ripe our... (More)
