Weary

I don’t know how long of not-so-good [terrible] sleeps it’s been now.  Last night was, finally, not so bad.  Noah is pretty much better from his sickness – just a snotty nose now – but his top teeth are very slowly cracking through the skin and he is not a happy camper.  He’s developed quite [...]

Expelled

I’m looking forward to the release of a documentary this spring, Expelled: No Intelligence Allowed.  Check it out.
In other news, we had a nice weekend as a family except that Noah is pretty sick.  We had some l-o-o-o-o-n-g nights, and I anticipate another one tonioght.   Now two more boys are coughing, but they don’t seem [...]

Camp Out

As I’ve been blogging, I’ve been listening to the quiet tossing of boys not quite asleep, and finally, the sonorous breathing of boys in dreams.  Nestled into couch cushions, giant pillows, and blankets, they are having a camp out in the giant fort we built in the family room.  With the reading light clipped to [...]

On Puzzles

 
My intention with this post, started months ago, was to talk about my love/hate relationship with puzzles. I’m not big into puzzles. Maybe it’s because I didn’t do a lot of them as a child. Yes, we had jigsaw puzzles, but all those five hundred piece puzzles I got as birthday presents? [...]

Committed to Cloth

 I thought I’d try to finish a couple of my “drafts” that have been sitting here for months.  Shortly after my cloth diaper post, trying out some Kushies all-in-ones, and much research online, I decided I would like to get Fuzzi Bunz with micro-fiber soakers.  Search and search as I might, I couldn’t find any [...]

More Dog Sledding

“I think she has a treat for me! “

“That’s it.  I quit. “  (He had a few of these moments.)

But he gave it another go anyway.
Again, when he saw the harness coming out, he tried to sneak away from me!  I don’t know if there is some way to make him love pulling, if it [...]

The Things Kids Play

Gabe, getting ready to go outside, told me, “I want to play Sucked Down the Toilet Drain“.   In my ignorance, I had to have the game described to me.  “The slide on the snow mountain is the toilet drain and we have to try not to fall down it.  If we do, we have to [...]

A Whole Bunch of Stuff

Ben loves to help out by feeding his little brother.

We recently cleared out the “art gallery” and have started hanging new art. Really, the whole house is a gallery of home-spun arts and crafts, but the hallway is specifically our gallery. We have plans to paint both walls with magnetic paint for easy [...]

So It’s Not Proven?

I think I first came across this in Nature, and more recently on who wants to be a millionaire? on the CMI website.
The Origin of Life Prize
One question. Can God enter?

Wiped Out

Yesterday afternoon we went skiing on the park trails.  It was our first time on the groomed trails.  Thankfully, we met up with friends there who helped us get geared up and started.  We did a 4 kilometer loop.  Ben and Toby were in the Chariot.  Zach and Gabe skied the whole loop!  I was [...]
