Bad Behavior has blocked 1090 access attempts in the last 7 days.

Partly due to doing things with my family and partly due to catching up at work after last week of very little work, I haven't read much lately, and then when I did read, it was late at night, and figured I'd wait until I was in front of a computer to blog about it, rather than using the phone...

Faith Notes

3/19 - Mommy asks, "Where are all those hiccups coming from?" Faith responds by opening her mouth wide and pointing down her throat. 2/23 - Faith said "I love you" to me! It sounds rather like "hello" with three syllables. She also tries... (More)

Total Church: Evangelism

"Francis of Assisi is alleged to have said, 'Preach the gospel always; if necessary use words.' That may be a great medieval sound bite, but it falls short of what the Bible teaches about evangelism." I used to like that quote, and the evangelism models it leads... (More)

Reforming Marriage by Douglas Wilson

I won't do a whole review, as I probably wouldn't do all that good of a job, but I'm re-reading it because a friend from church asked to borrow it, and I thought I would read through it again before I loaned it to him, so I could better recommend it appropriately. Dave Skiles... (More)

Total Church: Why Gospel? Why Community?

It's definitely a telling commentary on my life that the first chapter of Total Church , "Why Gospel?" was less exciting to me than the following chapter, "Why Community?". I think the former is in my head only, where the latter is in my head and heart.... (More)

Spring!

It got up to 67 F outside this afternoon. We had a picnic lunch and then spent a long time outside enjoying the sunshine (kids absorbing lots of vitamin D) and playing with rocks. Jonathan cleaned and filled the hummingbird feeder. I filled the regular bird feeder. I... (More)

Pocket Notes

2/11 - Noah, as we started school for the day, "I have my gun in my pocket in case any bad guys try to interrupt school." 2/13 - Faith says something that sounds very like "all done" when she is finished eating or going to the bathroom. She also says... (More)

Quotes, etc.

2/1 - Jonathan, munching on dried cranberries, "I would have a happy life with air, cranberries, a Bible, and chips." 2/2 - Faith followed two-step directions: go get her shoes (from the other room) and put them in the shoe rack. 2/4 - Jonathan, "Life is so... (More)

New Pictures

We've added our pictures for the last couple months , as well as adding a bunch of pictures that Stephan took at the Maggie P and at Thanksgiving - the delay was mostly because I hadn't gotten around to figuring out how to add a credit in the bottom right corner for Stephan's pictures. And... (More)

Faith and Noah Notes

Faith can crawl downstairs now, and off chairs and couches. 1/14 - Faith finally signed milk . She still only does it with prompting, but it's a start. 1/13 - Noah said broccoli with prompting "bwah-kuh-wee" We've been working hard on /k/ and /g/ in... (More)

Vacation Pocket Notes

We spent two weeks in New Hampshire for Christmas. It turns out that Faith doesn't really like snow. She looked at me like I was from outer space when I offered her some to eat. Hopefully this aversion does not last. The boys, however, have a blast playing out in the... (More)

Cost of Health Care?

Since I am in the category of people who is expected to see my health insurance double or triple, I wonder why people are spending so much on their health insurance. I do see that since we are "poor", we'll likely get free or heavily discounted health insurance under Obama's... (More)

A Few Notes

Noah has added a syllable to his pronunciation of Jonathan's name: "Ah-huh" 12/11 and following - My aunt gave us some plastic prisms and we have had a lot of fun playing with them in the kitchen (which is the sunniest room in our house.) The rainbows come out quite... (More)

Remember, Remember, The Fifth of November

We began the day learning about Guy Fawkes Day (Jonathan says now if we ever visit England he wants to visit at the beginning of November so he can participate in the festivities.) We ended the day by taking Daddy to the ER. Jon's notes in italics . It was quarter of five... (More)

I Love Word Problems

I was searching for Noah's first word on our blog (I found his first signed word: please, but I couldn't find his first spoken word) because Faith has started talking a little, and I don't know exactly what her first word is, probably "hi". But, today, she has repeatedly said,... (More)
