Credit Problems? Jonathan Can Help!

Just give him your card and a pair of scissors. In less than five minutes your spending ability will be reduced to a pile of small plastic pieces.

"Driving" and Geography

We went to the Kuhns' for dinner Thursday evening and at one point Will wanted to go out and ride his bike. Previously, he and Jonathan had been playing with playdough. I asked Jonathan to wash his hands (it was homemade dough and goopy) while I washed the cookie cutters and other playdough utensils. When I finished, I went to find him.

Another update and delay

From Vicki:
Judy's trial was preliminarily set to begin on Feb. 27th, but has again been delayed.

Oral arguments on the Pre-Trial Motions and the Habeas Corpus Writ will now be heard on April 5, 2006. The trial will be set some time after that - most likely this Summer.

Judy has asked that those who pray remember her and her family in prayer at this time as they are struggling with several battles they are facing. The Bible says "Be still and know that I am God", but the "be still" part is not always easy. Please pray that they will be encouraged in their daily walk, because that's where the battle and the moments of frustration come in.

Thank you so much for your support and continued prayers.

22 Weeks

Had another prenatal appointment this morning. Blood pressure great; measuring a little big, but still within normal. I have felt like all of a sudden the last week or so, my belly has "popped out." Baby was moving so much it took a while to locate the heartbeat, but it was definitely there. He is head down already! Good job, little one.

Stopping Windows Update From Rebooting Automatically

Posting this, since it took me a long time to find this site today when I wanted to stop my home computer from annoying me with the reboot dialogs every couple of minutes.

Using Alternative Shells in Windows

For my company's next product, we are thinking about replacing the normal explorer shell with our own, but we want to be able to access the explorer.exe for debugging, etc. It turns out that when you start explorer, it checks to see if it is listed as a shell, and if it is, and this is the first instantiation of the explorer process, it loads up the desktop/start menu/etc. If the answer is no to either of those cases, it just loads the "regular" file manager view.
Search engine keywords: explorer command line options start menu shell

Memory and Imitation

One reason Jonathan talks so well is because we talk to him like a real person. Children learn by hearing and by imitating. It is sometimes amusing to hear the things that he says. For example, he got a valentine's day card from Aunt Ellie, and as he saw the stickers on the back and was opening it, he said, "That's so sweet!"
