Bad Behavior has blocked 217 access attempts in the last 7 days.

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)

High Fructose Corn Syrup

We generally try to avoid corn syrup of all kinds (but we only "try", meaning it isn't banned or anything like that). But, when I'm looking for cereal or granola bars or whatever, I check the ingredients and particularly try to gauge if sugar (in whatever form) would be the first... (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)

Pocket Notes

Noah has discovered convertibles and really wants one. In a parking lot one day, we watched a man put up his roof and that was really cool. When I explained the reasons we wouldn't get one (too expensive, not enough seats for our family) Jonathan decided on our next car. A... (More)

Clean Your Dishwasher With Lemonade?

As we've mentioned, our water is pretty hard, and dishwashers in particular don't like hard water, and the manual with our dishwasher says specifically that it won't work with our water. But, it has worked pretty well for around ten months or so, as long as we kept the rinse aid... (More)

Biking Trip to Ohiopyle Summary

I bought a Trail-gator for attaching Jonathan's bike to mine, and we went on a couple 10 mile rides last week to test it out, and to build up our strength, but I had been pretty tired after those rides, so I wasn't very optimistic that we would make it to Ohiopyle without calling Heather to...

Ahh, Spring. The Season of Bandaids

Combine shorts/shortsleeves with pricker bushes and concrete and childhood exploration. Jonathan takes care of himself now, and Noah does sometimes, but I've been doing lots of bandaging for Faith. She's pretty good about leaving them on, but when they fall off she is insistent... (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)

Total Church: Success

In conclusion, the authors talk some about definitions of success and how those definitions affect how you see yourself and your church. He is quick to point out that large churches are not always bad, but points out various downsides of being in a large church, some of which I have... (More)

Total Church: Apologetics

I'm skipping the "Theology" chapter, partly because I don't have anything to say about it (it was a short chapter), but also that I need to return the book to the library, and I'm running out of time, and trying to avoid any fines... First off, a definition of apologetics ,... (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)
