Notes From The Pocket

8/7 - Faith started using the more sign consistently and spontaneously. She will now also use it to mean "I want that." 8/11 - Faith took her first step. It was sort of accidental, since she was walking holding to my hand, and I slipped my finger out. After... (More)

In Other News

We are the happy recipients of two used swingsets - one from a family at church and one from the next door neighbors. It is loads of fun and we're planning on building monkey bars between the two sets. Recently, when I was reading one of our storybooks about Noah and the flood,... (More)

Liberal or Conservative?

I guess I fail the test , since I answered "no" to both questions, though I suppose Brad Andresen from college (the one who always said of me, "You're more liberal than you think you are.") would be happy to hear that I'd be more likely to think it alright to slap my dad... (More)

Reading, Counting, Pulling Up

5/4 - Jonathan read Hop On Pop to us. It took two sessions because it is a pretty long book. It was fun for me because I know that was one of the first books I read out loud to my parents. 5/8 - Kids only know what they're exposed to. When Noah saw the TV in our... (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)

Free Range Kids: One Hundred Years Ago

Would you send your nine-year-old on a New York City subway by himself? Would you send him on a horse from Oklahoma to New Mexico and back by way of the deserts of Texas - taking his five-year-old brother along? It can be frustrating sifting through the chaff at the children's... (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)
