Whatever things are true, whatever things are noble, whatever things are just, whatever things are pure, whatever things are lovely, whatever things are of good report, if there is any virtue and if there is anything praiseworthy -- meditate on these things.

We've had just about every kind of insulation in our house. So, more than you asked for, but hopefully useful. Also, if you don't know about it, you should go to nhsaves.com and have Eversource pay for 50% of your costs - a great program, we paid $3500 and save ~$1000 a year in fuel, plus the house feels warmer. Air sealing is the most important (one reason spray foams are better; the R value of cellulose and fiberglass goes to something around 1 or 2 if there is air movement) (More) Posted by Jon Daley on October 29, 2020, 10:40 am | Read 141 times | Comments (0) Category General : [ first ] [ previous ] [ newest ] Reviews : [ first ] [ previous ] [ newest ] Backlog Jon has implemented a system for me where I can send an email to post on the blog.

See my mom's Armistice Day post for a few more details of my family's involvment in the war.

One evening, Jon and I were resting together in our bed. Suddenly, from the other room, we heard a panicked cry, "Someone help me!! AAA-AAA-AA-AAAAA!!" Jon jumped up and ran to the rescue. Jeremiah was clinging to the top molding of a doorway. He had climbed up the doorway to the top and then his feet slipped and he couldn't get his foot-grip back again. But it didn't end there. Unlike many parents, Jon did not reprimand Jeremiah. Instead, he helped him "get back on the horse." Jon showed him how low his feet actually had been and reminded him how he often jumps from that high in other places. So after a few tries, Jeremiah discovered that Daddy was right, and now he happily climbs up doorways without fear and sometimes even jumps down from the top on purpose!

Sometimes details are sparse. 2/1 - Jonathan, "Even Einstein didn't have a triple-digit IQ." Noah, "Isn't that the guy with screws in his ears?" Jonathan, "No, that's Frankenstein." Noah is losing teeth all the time, I have trouble keeping track of them all. Dropping elbow on frozen shredded cheese. [This is a karate move, and it really works to break up the frozen chunks.] 2/7 - Faith started to whistle! 2/12 - Nathaniel: "Say-too" = thank you 2/16 - Nathaniel, "Way-ma" = Grandma 2/16 - How old are you, Nathaniel? [holding up one index finger on each hand] "Doo!" 2/18 - JPD doing joyful noise "p-p-p, t-t-t" with Nathaniel 2/25 - Joy, "It's a happy day every day at Grandma's house!" 3/2 - 10:30pm - Noah stands up out of bed, looks around confusedly, "I forgot how to do it." Me, "Do what?" Noah, "Go to the moon." 3/5 - Jeremiah knows almost the whole alphabet. 3/5 - Jeremiah, to Nathaniel, "Good morning, sweet boy!" 3/7 - Joy lost her second tooth. Lower right 1st incisor. 3/26 - JPD write first name all by self 3/27 - JPD, "Mommy, that says 'NO'". "How do you know?" "I seed the 'O', and I seed the 'N', so I knew it said 'NO'." [flips switch] "And this says 'YES'."

Sometimes details are sparse. 1/4 - The whole family plays Cousin Memory. Nathaniel repeats incessantly, "I turn! I turn!" January - Nathaniel knows where all the dishes go. He loves helping to unload the dishwasher and he is good at sorting silverware. 1/9 - Nathaniel, "Self!" (as in, "I want to do it myself!") 1/10 - Jeremiah saw a picture of a galaxy on the computer and exclaimed, "Look! The Milk Bottle Way!" 1/13 - Noah, while washing dishes, about the dish soap, "Mom, I think this is running out. It DEFINITELY didn't last Seven Generations." 1/15 - Jeremiah, "i'm not a little boy! I'm a big boy! But my SIZE is little." 1/18 - Nathaniel now jumps with both feet. 1/22 - Joy read hymn 366 (I Live) with only minimal help and is so proud and happy, she found it again in the hymnal at home and she is singing it over and over again. January - Nathaniel, learning to say people's names. "Doah" = Noah; "Djon" = Jonathan; "Sase" = Faith; 1/26 - "Sho-shuh" = Joseph; 1/27 - "Miah" = Jeremiah; 1/2...
