A Boy Named Chloe October 28, 2006

Filed under: Blog — The Eldest @ 1:06 pm

Here is a mugshot of the next cute little bundle of depravity. Apparently the ultrasound “indicates” it is a boy. Like Leah. Also, apparently, he is storing acorns in his cheeks for winter.

Anyway, we need a name, and so we are pleased to announce the next family contest. I am pushing for Moses, and Mom wants Chloe. If you have any better suggestions, send them our way.

By the way, here is a cool site that plots the popularity of a name (in America) as a function of year: click here.

If you don’t think to try Adolf (or Adolph - the Americanized version), you need to loosen up and learn to have some fun.


For the English Major.

Two thoughts come to mind:
(1) Lovely song - both musically and lyrically.
(2) Weed is a very benevolent herb.

While we wait for some more sermonettes from Matt, I have asked John Piper to fill the pulpit as a guest:



Raider Math October 15, 2006

Filed under: Sports — The Eldest @ 6:32 pm

Matt, I have a math question:

  • Coming into tonights game, Denver has scored 49 points over 4 games. That means they are averaging just over 12 points a game.
  • Vegas has set the spread on the Oakland game as Denver winning by 16.

So the Raiders are expected to lose by 16 to a team that aveages 12 points a game? Is this possible? My head is spinning.

Love you bro.

I will have to figure out how to make it bigger, but for now:

Here is a link to a bigger version.  You might need to right-click on the link and save the movie to your desktop to get it to play.

P.S. I think he is actually saying “I wiggled both my feet.”  So, Leah, you weren’t quite worth a song - but he threw a foot wiggle your way.


News about Blog site October 14, 2006

Filed under: Blog — The Cool One @ 12:49 pm

I just realized that Megan and Leah recently wrote blogs that were not posted on the main page. THis happens because they did not choose a category. If you chose a category that will put things on the front page. I made the category blog for normal blogging. I say all this to mention that Leah’s views of 8th graders and Megan’s curiosity over Italian pumpkins need to be seen.
