Too busy to post (until now)
It's hard to type with a baby in your arms, so I haven't been doing much updating of the blog. But I have a few minutes, so here goes.
For about a week, Hannah was fussy eating. The milk was coming too fast, she was gagging on it, and so she was only eating a bit. As a result, she was only sleeping a bit. As a result we have gotten very tired. Then Karen started getting some medical complications. Yesterday afternoon we went up to the hospital ER. It took three and a half hours, and in the end the doctor wasn't able to do much. There will be some more tests and we'll see if everything just fixes itself. Karen was feeling better today, so I went to work. Unfortunately we had to cancel the baby shower which had been planned for her last night at the chapel. Hannah is eating (and sleeping) a bit better.
With the changes to the Ontario child seat regulations, we're in the market for a minivan. I plan to sell our Ford Escort, pay off the Sentra and then immediately plunge into debt again. Thanks Dalton. Liberal governments are always good at spending other people's money on the things the Liberal government knows they should buy. Big government know best!
I have finished and had printed some Sunday School curriculum for my Grade 7 to 10 class. They want to know why we do what we do at our church. In the absence of any suitable books, I wrote a small booklet to use with the class. We'll see how it goes.
I read one of Bethany's read-aloud books yesterday (in the ER Waiting Room). "Carry On Mr Bowditch" is an easy and enjoyable read. I must admit to being somewhat humbled by the true story of a man who quit school at age 10 to go to work, and ended up teaching himself calculus and Latin in order to be able to read Newton's "Principia". He also taught himself French and Spanish, made some fundamental discoveries in navigation, was recognized as one of the best mathematicans in America, was given a Masters by Harvard (even though he didn't attend) and became a ships captain. Oh to have been born with a first class intellect!
