In case you hadn’t heard, this Arizona summer heat is a killer–literally. It’s very possible for babies to get 2nd degree burns from touching their car seat buckles when climbing into a hot car. Thankfully, that’s never happened to one of our crew, but those insulated car seats make for a very hot ride. At… Read More Life on the Surface of the Sun
Our first visit to the 21st Century Parent Education event was so much fun that we decided to go back for February’s session. These monthly events help parents assess and nurture the development of their children. January’s theme was literacy and reading, and February’s activities were all about the five senses. {Click here to view… Read More Learning Through Playing
Like billions across the globe, we watched the London 2012 Olympic Opening Ceremony Friday night–the entire 4 hour broadcast! I have to say that the best part was from the beginning up through Rowan Atkinson’s performance of Chariots of Fire. After that it became a test of endurance. (Was anyone else amazed that the drummers… Read More 2012 Olympic Opening Ceremony

After discovering Jankovic has authored a book,… Read More Loving the Little Years
At the risk of sounding like an incredibly sappy wife, I must admit that my absolute favorite person to hang out with is Stephen Andrew. Exploring is one of our favorite things to do–something we haven’t been able to do much of since moving to Phoenix. Don’t worry, someday we’ll make it to Sedona, Flagstaff,… Read More Hanging Out Together
Day 23 in Phoenix. Still searching for a job. Stephen had his third job interview today, and he has a fourth set up for October 7th. Since we didn’t hear back from the first two interviews, we’re assuming he didn’t get those jobs. We won’t know anything about this third job until about two weeks… Read More Still Searching
I just finished watching The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, The Witch and the Wardrobe on DVD which I got through my subscription to Blockbuster’s “online movie rental service”:http://www.blockbuster.com/. It’s a lot like Netflix, although I’ve tried both and actually like Blockbuster’s service a little better; but more on that later. I liked the movie… Read More The Lion, The Witch and the Wardrobe
There’s a “review”:http://www.sharperiron.org/showthread.php?t=2948 of Dr. Michael Sproul’s book, “God’s Word Preserved”:http://www.tricityministries.org/tcbc/bookstore/godswordpreserved.jsp over at “SharperIron”:http://www.sharperiron.org/. I’m working my way through the book myself, so I’ll post my thoughts on it once I’m finished. I will say that so far my impression is that it’s one of the best, if not the best work I’ve seen on… Read More God’s Word Preserved–SharperIron review
