Checkups

I'll start with most recent and then go to my pocket notes. Jonathan and Faith both had well child checkups yesterday. As much as it seems like it would be easier to have two checkups together, it really isn't. I'll go back to scheduling them separately. It wasn't too... (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)

Lots of Pocket Notes

Jonathan has created a new superhero. Actually, a team of superheroes. They are the SuperFire team, made up of as many different colors as you would like. Super Orange Fire is the captain (that's usually Jonathan.) Noah is often Super Blue Fire, or Super Green... (More)

New Kind of Scam: Works Well In a Down Economy

I got an email last night from someone who was looking up contact information for one of my customers: Piexx Company . She was wondering if someone was trying to scam her. The way the scam works is that someone says they are a hiring agency for some company and posts a job offer for a... (More)

A Rich Family

Heather remarked at dinner tonight (at the Olive Garden - thanks Wightmans, we've got 7 more dinners at this rate to celebrate our anniversary) that we are a rich family: we now own two cars and two houses. I did realize that some people spend more on their cars than we spent on our... (More)

Lyme Daley

After we hear others talking about ticks everywhere, we hadn't seen any at all in our yard. And then Jonathan gets Lyme Disease. He had a fever and slept all day for two days, and then he was better so we didn't think anything of it. A few days later, he gets this red rash on... (More)

I Heard It From a Newspaper...

So, I know you can't believe anything you read in a newspaper, but if the newspaper calls you and tells you something, then can you believe it? How about if both Pittsburgh newspapers call? We've heard that Judy was acquitted of two of the three charges brought against her, but... (More)

It's Ok, Grandma. She's Fine.

I was adding more materials to our garden beds, and wanted to mix it in by hand. It doesn't work so well to lean over with Faith in the backpack, so I set her down on the ground behind me. Well, that ground was not so level. She went tumbling over, and the worst part was that... (More)

2008 Taxes

I haven't looked at how much time it took us to do taxes this year - I thought we were doing pretty well, time-wise, until we blew 8 hours or so today finishing them off (or is it them finishing us off, I'm not sure which...) I noticed a number of places where the strange, complicated... (More)

News I Forgot to Mention

Speaking of news, I forgot to post here that the closing arguments for Judy's trial are scheduled for tomorrow, and I'll be heading to Pittsburgh to hang out with folks who will be there in her support. Of course, this might be the first time a scheduled meeting actually happened when it... (More)
