Potty Training and Dentist Updates

Jonah went to the dentist today. She gave him a free flouride treatment that wasn’t covered by insurance because she wanted his tooth that he chipped last year to have some extra protection. Other than that he did ok and everything looked good!
Potty training is going pretty well. He’s gotten great about telling us when [...]

Canning for Dummies

I was asking my grandmother what they were supposed to look like when they were ripe, and she said brownish, but if you can leave them until they turn purple, [...]

The Sandbox Part 1

I designed a neat little sandbox that’s got a storage bench and an arched lid that doubles as a see-saw rocker!

Money Money Money

I know we’re not the only ones with money concerns with the economy in the position it’s in, but seriously… this sucks. Don’t get me wrong. God has provided us with money from some unlikely sources… a $1000 refund from our previous house insurance, a $60 refund from our previous cable provider… just seems like [...]
