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)

Sprinkler Auto-Timer
Someone asked what timer we recently purchased, and I figured I should post it here, since it seems to work pretty well.  We bought the " Meinor Aqua Flush ", I chose this one because it was the only one available at Target while I was buying our third sprinkler (I should do... (More)

Bike Trip, Vacation, Notes
This is going to be woefully brief.  The bike trip was adventure after adventure, lots of fun, but lots of work.  Among the things you'd normally expect on a bike trip, it included four tire blowouts on the triple-tandem, a torrential downpour, a tent with no stakes, Jonathan riding... (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)

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)

Faster Internet!
I noticed recently that Armstrong upgraded our connection to the internet from home. We now get 10Mbps download and 1.5Mbps upload.  We still pay a little less than $40/month.  We would use a faster upload connection if we had it, but we rarely find servers that will let us download... (More)

Triplet Biking - Here We Come!!!
We just put a deposit down for a used triplet bike, with two child conversion kits.  Which means it will look something like the pictures on this site . Though our current plan is for Faith to be in a trailer attached to the back, and each of the boys will have the raised pedals clamped... (More)

Biking Prelude #7
From me: Greetings, I beseech you in the name of the fair gravel god Macadam . The town crier has informed us, the royal court, that some of you minions scoffed at my prior references to the presumed conflict between the bipedaled beasts and steel plated goblins, and so we hereby... (More)

Biking Prelude #1
As some of you know, Jonathan and I and some guys from church biked to Ohiopyle last weekend. What less of you know is what goes on inside the heads of these crazy guys, and even less of you know what sort of emails get passed around prior to a trip like this. Worry no longer, those emails...

CHAP conference
I have a double request from Grandma to post on the homeschool conference and to make the miscarriage post no longer the first thing you see when you check the blog.  So here goes. (: This was our second year at the CHAP convention.  Last year we spent so much time listening... (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)

Daddy Gone Notes and More Recent
Here are my notes from when Jon was in the Dominican Republic: Saturday - first dinner with Daddy gone - When Faith saw that Daddy was not in his chair at the table, she looked for him in the computer room.  The next morning when I got up first, Noah commented that usually Daddy is... (More)

Sockdolager: A Knock-Down Blow
Heather's dad sent a link to this article, which I thought was pretty good.  And at least, it is a good word-of-the-day for you. Your assignment is to use it in a sentence sometime today.  "NOW, SIR," concluded Davy Crockett, "you know why I made that... (More)

Total Church: Pastoral Care
I am not sure what I think about this chapter.  The authors argue for Christian pastoral care within a communal setting, as opposed to the "professional" counseling.  I have heard of a couple stories of people violently against that idea, though I haven't seen anything bad... (More)

Total Church: World Mission and Discipleship and Training
Again, probably showing my bias, I didn't get a whole lot out of the "World Mission" chapter, so I am going to combine two chapters into one post. The gospel word is a word for the present about the future.  Hope is integral to our message.  Non-Christians... (More)
