Aliyah’s 1 year stats
Ok, so I’m a bit behind. I think I have an excuse Aliyah was 32 inches in length (off the charts) 19 lb. 11 oz. (25th percentile) and her head circ. was 17 1/8 inches. In other words, she’s what Dr. Sears calls a banana - as she grows in length, she does not grow proportionately in [...]
maybe
Is it a bad sign that I just glanced around my house, saw the autrocious mess and shrugged, giving a little ambivalent sigh? Maybe it’s the heat and no AC, maybe it’s my mischievious 1 year old who I chase around ALL DAY NONSTOP without relief because she screams bloody murder if left with anyone [...]
I really really dislike myspace
Social blogging scares me, not to mention that myspace is so busy and infested with ads. I’m so glad my friend “gets it”. I’m trying out vox right now, it’s a social blogging tool but not as insane in design as myspace. I’ll probably close that account soon though, I’m pretty happy with blogger. If I [...]

she’s a keeper
Shayel informed us the other day that “you don’t have to put Aliyah back in your tummy, we can keep her”. hehe…well that’s good.
The lease has been signed
This is a cross-post from our Revolution blog and I thought David said it well. We’re moving. About 2 minutes south of where we live now. God used outside circumstances to turn the prophetic light-bulb on…so to speak. When we first moved into our house it was affordable. Due to circumstances beyond much of our control, it [...]
new home
Looks like we might have a new home. We looked at the promising apartment this evening and liked it. We figured we’ll probably save about $120 in electric/gas and we’ll be saving $225 a month in rent, $20 a month in trash and sewer and in December our car is paid off and we’ll be [...]
