Scanning the night away
I had to scan a huge chapter for my Westminster College students to read. I needed Ben’s help to turn pages and hold the book on the scanner while I ran the computer. It took a long time, so Ben got bored and played a game on his iPod Touch while scanning. It took over [...]
Ben loves his yarn
Ben received big balls of yarn for Christmas. He likes to knit in his spare time. He has made several hats and a couple of scarves.
Dahl family pizza party
The Dahl boys here were with me at a Dahl family pizza party tonight. Ben and Ray surround my cute nephew Ethan. He is a big fan of my husband and my son. They hung out together and drew on etch-a-sketch together. These are the men who like motorcycles and computer stuff. But Ethan likes [...]
Ben’s Egg Machine
Ben has been working on a physics homework project that requires him to create a machine that raises an egg within five minutes. Ben wants to become an engineer, and he has really worked hard on designing his machine. He decided to use pop bottle bottoms. As a result, a lot of soda has been [...]
Christmas music
Kayleigh is a talented musician. She plays the bass and cello. This is her beautiful bass sitting in front of our Christmas tree before she practices before her lesson on Saturday. Kayleigh and Ben fill our home with beautiful music as they practice. They have been playing for years, and they play very difficulty pieces. [...]
Ben dressed up as a bear
Ben has taken up knitting. His cross country running coach taught him how to knit, and he has embraced that hobby. He just finished his first wool cap, and he decided to add some bear ears to his cap. He collects teddy bears, so I just had to have a picture. Don’t you agree?
Love of the Viola
Ben loves playing his viola. He is very talented, and he picks up his viola to play even if he just has a few minutes. I am so happy with that situation that I let him just leave his viola out on a couch in the front room all the time. We do not use [...]
It is sooo cold
It is so cold that we have to wear silly hats in the house. I really prefer warmth, but we have little of that right now. Seriously, I am bundled up today as I study for my Psychometrics final exam. I have spent a lot of time studying validity, and I hope I remember everything.
Santa came to town
Santa arrived for his annual visit to the Dahl family December party. He handed out stuffed animals and Clementine oranges to all the grandkids. He also heard what they all wanted for Christmas. This is the last Santa visit before Kayleigh graduates from high school, so I wanted a picture of my kids with Santa. [...]
Just Check your Sugar so you can work at Scout camp this summer…
Checking blood sugar levels A couple of months ago, we cracked down on Ben’s bad habits again regarding him not checking his blood sugar levels. He doesn’t even check his sugar levels once a day. He has had type I diabetes for 11 years, and he still doesn’t want to care for it and take [...]
