Although I was not happy about Apple releasing the iPhone 4S instead of the iPhone 5 this year, Chrissy and I were in desperate need of new phones. Our old 3G iPhones were dog slow and would crash often. I found that a hard reboot would alleviate most of the problems, but this was not a long-term solution. Waiting another year...

We are going to make a move to AT&T U-Verse. We have been using the Dish Network for our cable needs for the last seven years. But then Chrissy and I paid a visit to the local AT&T store to ask questions about her new iPhone. During the troubleshooting, the clerk gave us the sales pitch for AT&T U-Verse. We would...

Toddlers can’t always pronounce words that they use frequently, so they go with nicknames instead. In our house, “Grandma” has always been “Ooma”, at least until they can say the right word. Aiden said “Ooma” for the longest time, and now Gavin calls her “Ooma” as well. ...

The older Rookie-level kids play an infield game while the smaller T-Ball players languish in the outfield, which highlights the difference in skill level between...

The garden has been very good to us over the summer, but the season is over now. There were still some tiny tomatoes, but they won’t grow all the way. Chrissy tore out the remaining plants and we’ll be covering the raised plant beds for the winter soon. We plan on building at least two more raised plant bed boxes next...

A week ago, I didn’t know anything about furnaces. You set the thermostat to a temperature, and the house then magically adjusts to that temperature. There’s a box in the basement that does it. And that’s all I knew. We recently had a guy come out to do the annual maintenance on that box and he found a...
