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)

Pocket Notes and Potty Training

10/3 - Jon felt the baby kick! Since then, Jonathan and Faith have thought maybe they felt it. If the kids were ever up when I was still in bed but awake in the morning, they would definitely be able to feel it. 10/3 - Noah counted to 20 on his own. He is most comfortable... (More)

19 weeks, Midwife Appointment

This morning, we drove up to the birth clinic where Jonathan and Noah were born. Their midwife has retired (she wanted to before Noah was born, but actually did right before Faith was born) and her daughter has taken over the job. We had met C before, when she was helping out her... (More)

Short Pocket Notes

This is short but my pocket notes are full and I need a new paper. 9/25 - Noah, wearing his Swiss tshirt and red shorts, "This is my hockey outfit. My hockey team is called Swiss Fire!" In lieu of nursing for any length of time (which is very irritating when pregnant and seems to get... (More)

Pocket Notes

This post is long overdue (I have two separate pocket papers kicking around) but as you may have noticed, we've been pretty busy around here. We are leaving soon for another vacation and so I really want to get these papers out of my pocket! When Noah had his 4 year appointment... (More)

Visiting Washington, DC

We arrived at the Fitzkees' house on Thursday night, and Nick said we could stay as long as we wanted. We ended up extending our trip by a day and coming home on Tuesday, which was a good decision. I think we spent the right amount of time for the whole family to enjoy the... (More)

2010 Family Bike Trip to Washington, DC: Third Day

As I looked at the maps for the third day, we were going to be biking near various battlefields and other tourist-type places to visit, and so in the interest of resting a little, I decided we should drive for a ways and then maybe bike in the afternoon. We drove from Williamsport... (More)

2010 Family Bike Trip to Washington, DC: First Two Days

I've wanted to bike to DC for a while, but there never seemed like a good opportunity to do so. Once we purchased the tandem bike, and started thinking about the possibility of biking all over the country, the Washington trip seemed like a good first step. The trip did get... (More)

Church Bike Trip - July 2010

As Heather mentioned , it did take us a while to get this post written, but I thought it would be good to have a record of it, so here goes... Each year for the last several years, Paul has organized a two day bike trip for the kids of BCF. This year, we drove to Rockwood, PA... (More)

Last Day of Kindergarten

I decided to (mostly arbitrarily) call today the last day of Kindergarten. Tomorrow will be the first day of First Grade. I wanted to post because of Jonathan's answers to some of the logic problems he had today. For each line, there was a list of five objects or... (More)

Pocket Notes, Poison Ivy

6/11 - We planted more seeds in our garden. Faith helped me plant beans and she very carefully placed the seed in the hole and gently covered it with soil. It was so sweet to see her tender care. I discovered a robin's nest in the bush outside our bathroom... (More)

Pocket Notes

6/1 - Noah's use of /f/ in everyday speech has increased immensely and he now uses it in a substitution. 3 = "free" 6/1 - Jonathan cut Faith's bangs "because she asked me to." Forgot that part about asking Mom or Dad... He actually did a good... (More)

New Bike Report

So, after thinking about it for a while, we decided to go ahead and purchase a new bike. The reason it took some thinking is that it isn't a regular old bike with one seat, but has three seats, with room for three adults, or with the added child conversion kits, Noah and Jonathan can fit... (More)

The Best Job In The World

Here's my take on the biking/camping trip. With last year's notes, it was actually pretty fun planning camping meals for 14 people, the vast majority of which are young men. I only made two mistakes, one was forgetting oil for the eggs (we used some butter from the mountain pie... (More)

Miscarriage

I didn't really feel like writing this, but then I thought it weird not to post it. So I'll mostly just copy the emails I wrote to our parents. This is happening at five weeks of pregnancy, pretty much just two days after being sure I was pregnant (though we did not take a... (More)
