Getting Packed!

at 03/20/10 9:28PM

Just the china hutch contents so far today.

We found a little 2 bedroom cottage to rent just 2 minutes from our current place! I think it will work well for us. We move in in early April, taking our time about moving there and cleaning up this place, since we will have some rent overlap to work with. :) I like low-stress moving. I'm grateful for how things work out for us. Someone definitely has His hand in our lives. :)

Two minutes which direction?

by lifeisgoood at 03/20/10 10:07PM
South. We're like 30 seconds closer to you! lol

by robynbobm at 03/20/10 10:14PM
so when are you going to teach me how to knit socks? i'm getting cold feet...hahaha

by niffer at 03/21/10 12:02AM
Awesome. Let everyone know if you want help on moving.

by ryan_s at 03/21/10 2:48AM
lol okay.

by niffer at 03/21/10 5:40AM
^Not sure on that, since we will be spreading out doing it over a few days. Might need a couple of people, but I don't know if we'll need to do it like last time. I'll let people know for sure!

:) God IS good, isn't He?

by beavermom at 03/21/10 11:56PM
Is there really such a thing as low-stress moving? Can I buy some at Walmart?

Congrats, good luck and best wishes on your new adventure. :-)

Glad you found a place that will work for you!

Tube's Day - I can't pick just one!

at 03/17/10 3:39AM

The trailer for "Babies", coming out in April. The goat at the end makes me laugh! It won't embed, so you'll have to follow the link: I totally want to see this when it comes out.
Trailer for "Life". It is a BBC mini series follow up to Planet Earth that will air on the Discovery Channel starting Sunday at 8pm. I am really excited about this too! It will of course mention evolutionary thought, but the footage will more than make up for it.

I seriously read "Babies" as "Barbies".

by lifeisgoood at 03/17/10 6:26AM
Cute! I like how the last baby has innately the correct reaction to having a goat come up behind you to drink your bath water: Freeze.

by lifeisgoood at 03/17/10 6:30AM
That is just a Venus Fly Trap that's gonna eat that fly and I'm not looking.

Now if it was a person hurt or having surgery then I could look, but not at this.

Strange but true.

by kailua at 03/17/10 8:08AM
Looks cool! I wanna watch it with Brian and Ashley, cuz I love his reactions when stuff gets it! lol!

by beavermom at 03/17/10 10:59AM
I love the first two babies! lol! Looks like kids are the same all over the world

by beavermom at 03/17/10 11:06AM
The babies one looks funny. I love the childhood idea of justice. It never ends.

by spinningbee at 03/17/10 4:31PM
LOL! Looks like great fun! We have yet to find a real group of peers here (I've pretty much given up after nearly 15 years!) and just don't expect excitement over anything but a "weenie roast".

by quiltedmama at 03/18/10 4:40AM
Seriously! You would think they would have something better to do. What if they were to put all that energy and time into making the world a better place? That would be amazing!

Pi Baking

at 03/14/10 2:23AM

I just baked a huckleberry pie with crumb topping and a sweet potato pie (substitute garnet yam puree in pumpkin pie recipe) in preparation for Pi Day (3.14... ;) and MATHMASS celebrations at the Dunagans' tomorrow. So, how big a slice do you want? Tell me... in radians. haha.

oh, and I cheated on the crust this time, it is Marie Callender's. I can't always do it all, lol!

by robynbobm at 03/14/10 2:31AM
I would like .125 to .250.

by beavermom at 03/14/10 3:27AM
I want 1.5 radians of pie.

by ryan_s at 03/14/10 3:53AM
Pi Day has gotten lost in our house, as it is now surrounded by several birthdays (2/22, 3/15, and 3/22). Plus we have no fellow geeks here to share it with. ;) Last year when I mentioned it to a few people at church they all stared at me like I was nuts. Sigh.

by quiltedmama at 03/14/10 4:04AM
Reminds me of an old joke.
Hillbilly son comes home from school and his father asks, "Son waddaya learnt in school today?"
"Well Pa, I learnt that Pi r 2."
To which the father replied, "Son donchya know cake are square? Pie are round!"

by kailua at 03/14/10 4:18AM
Math is so not my thing. Have fun!

by stylinmama at 03/14/10 6:33AM
I'll just take a whole pi! :)

by marmee at 03/14/10 6:54AM
I like pi/3 or pi/4 radians of pie myself. :)

by robynbobm at 03/14/10 8:04AM
there are 6.28 radians in a full circle, so 1.5 radians is a good size piece (1.5/6.28).

by ryan_s at 03/14/10 8:08AM
Thanks for your comments to Hannah. You are most definitely a good example of the industrious wife!

by sallyanne at 03/14/10 10:00PM
Hi, daughter! ILYWB!!

by beavermom at 03/16/10 11:17PM
on your ticker over there, tomorrow will be 2 years, 2 months, 2 weeks, 2 days and at 2:22.....he should stop by and give you 2 of something! ;)

A Day

at 03/13/10 2:41AM

-tiedyed a 2T t-shirt for Jonathan this summer. Used denim blue Rit dye. Since rit has both animal and plant dyes, I threw wool in to take up some of the other part. I am going to spin it and use it for a jean gnome hat. Which makes me LOL being a science geek.
-folded laundry, with Jonathan's "help."
-went to post office. Jonathan fell asleep on the way, so it was tricky transitioning from car to stroller to car to house. All worked out but the last one.
-at the crosswalk to the post office (I used the public lot across the street), were friendly pro-life protesters. I had forgotten, there is a Planned Parenthood on the opposite corner from the post office. They perfom abortions on Fridays. The women gave me one of those precious little 10-week-old unborn baby feet pins. I encouraged them to keep sharing the message and keep it peaceful (which they were doing well with).
-going to sweep and mop and vacuum floors.
-going to make dinner
-I might dye tonight. I have 3 skeins of white sock yarn, and some white Cotswold wool locks.
-I might knit on Jonathan's spring sweater or spin the rest of the silk cocoons I unraveled at Ashley's in February tonight too. I think the longer it sits in a fluff, the more it will stick to itself. Silk is incredibly catchy before spinning. It grabs your hands.

I never in my wildest dreams imagined people actually unraveling silk cocoons. Ever. Wow!

by kailua at 03/13/10 7:11AM
jean gnome! LOL!! I love those little feet pins!

by beavermom at 03/13/10 11:24AM
When Zach was tiny and adorable I strolled him to a voting precinct where pro-abortion young women where gathered holding signs. I introduced him to them and after a few minutes of them "falling in love" cooing at him and touching his hands, I explained to them how long it took and how expensive it was to adopt because of abortion. I told them to look closely at his face because babies as sweet and innocent as Zach is what the issue is all about. "We're not here to argue the issue, Mam" was all they could come up with. I like to think at least the younger women there were touched that day.

Baby Handles?

at 03/10/10 2:33AM

Thank you Ashley for giving Jonathan a lift and me a laugh! :D

:D it was fun!!

by spinningbee at 03/10/10 3:27AM
Hahaha...Philip carries Andrew around like that.

by firebolt at 03/10/10 5:08AM
bahahahahahaha!

by niffer at 03/10/10 7:26AM
I like his little fists. Mark use to fly Ashley around like that singing the theme to Star Wars and making battle sounds :)

by lifeisgoood at 03/10/10 9:24AM
lol! Dad used to do that with you guys! Thank goodness Osh Kosh and Carhartt are tough!

by beavermom at 03/10/10 11:40AM
That's gotta be what little overalls were made for!!

by marmee at 03/10/10 5:25PM
Gotta love those overalls...and Ashley's inventive mind!! :)
