For those of you who are not aware, Michelle is writing a book. It is a short non-fiction book on… well, I’m not sure I can tell you. Sorry Sweety. Something about technology in conferences. I know it is not specific to libraries so I think it has to do with using today’s social networking [...]

This is probably the crowning achievement of our new hobby. I am sure there will be more to come as time goes on and we further invest. Michelle’s parents just moved to another house. In the process they were getting rid of a fridge. We had just bought a used fridge off of Craigslist to [...]
Recipe: Carrot and Sweet Potato Kugel
Posted in food, recipes on March 29, 2010 | Leave a Comment »
Every year, Ries’ family celebrates a Christian Seder meal. We prepare a kosher seder meal and go through the ceremony. Wine, kosher and otherwise, flows and there is a bounty of food. It is a wonderful reminder of our heritage in Christ. Most years, I am in charge of making the haroset and the kugel. [...]

IMG_1936 Originally uploaded by Wandering Eyre Thanks to some dear friends, Ries and Gideon were able to get a bunch of lego bricks last week. They had fun picking them out at the store. Since then, Gideon requests lego play often and his engineering daddy is only too happy to comply.
Honesty and a Good Job
Posted in children, everyday, updates on March 27, 2010 | 1 Comment »
Yesterday, after praying a blessing over our breakfast (wheat waffles and strawberries), Gideon clapped and said, “Good job, Mommy. Good praying.” It made me laugh. He is so busy these days and he narrates everything to us. I can hear him talking about his actions when he is in other rooms of the house. Our [...]

Holes

It must be wonderful to be young and to have every day filled with new and exciting discoveries. Every experience is unique and wonderful. Gideon made a truly astuonding discovery last Thursday. Here was the event as it unfolded: Gideon was taking a bath and playing. I noticed he had his hand underneath his junk [...]
Do You Hear What I Hear?

Gideon recently discovered that the world sounds different with his fingers in his ears. Friday, he popped his fingers in his ears and leaned close to me and said very earnestly into my face, “I hear the voices.” So do I, kiddo. So do I.

Therefore, I present to you, an easy, simple, dummy’s guide to making [...]

Recipe: Spinach Dumplings

*I actually had this ready to go up yesterday than I ran into some problems with WordPress. Sorry for the delay.* I made these last night and they are definitely going to stay in the Smith family meal rotation. I used the water from the dumplings to cook some pasta which I topped with a [...]
Why you should back up
Posted in computers, updates on March 6, 2010 | 3 Comments »
I created the previous post several weeks ago but was waiting to put the CPU-Z screenshot in there. In the meantime my hard drive failed. This was a new hard drive but of course passed the 30 day return limit. Two things kept this from being a catastrophe in my new toy. First thing, is [...]
Good Morning, Sunshine

**I found this in the drafts folder and, though it is a year old, I decided to publish it anyway. Since it is Lent, this is appropriate. Luckily, I did not give up coffee for Lent this year.** My precious son decided to be awake for over an hour this morning, from about 4-5:15 am. [...]
Stably, Mildly, Overclocked Computer
Posted in computers, geeks on March 6, 2010 | 3 Comments »
My newly built computer (named Nightcrawler) has received a few minor upgrades in the couple months since I built it. My wife got me a stocking stuffer for Christmas that was a green LED lit case fan. I stuck that inside the case to blow on to the video card area. The green adds a [...]
Olympic Score

I am not going to take the time this year to bash NBC’s coverage of the Olympics. Quite frankly, it was horrible. Again. Especially their primetime coverage. Horrendous. I can’t say enough about it. So I will just stop there. However, I do want to point out that I like to keep my own personal [...]

Normally, I never post recipes that I have not cooked myself. However, this comes from a reliable source (a friend) who assures me that it is a never fail recipe. Add that to the fact that is is so easy that you might die of boredom while it cooks. Roasted Pork Tenderloin 1 whole pork [...]
