Whatever Wednesday: March 27, 2008
Today is Thursday, but whatever.
1. Happy Easter!
2. We went to Kansas.
We went to Kansas because Karianne's Grandpa Eddie was turning 90. It was great to see him and her Grandma, Clara. Eddie turned 90 on Saturday, and on Sunday Clara was talking about getting old; she said, "Well, Eddie's 90,
pushing 91." That cracked us up -- just a day over 90, and already he's "pushing 91."
Kaeta had a blast playing with her cousins. Several times on the car ride home she said, "Goin' ta see my CUZZ-ins!" She thinks that by announcing that, it becomes true.
3. We have a magical device.
My parents got us the
Garmin StreetPilot c340 GPS device, and this was our first big chance to use it (using GPS to get to and from work is not too exciting). It successfully guided us to a Starbucks in Witchita on the way there, and to an Arby's in, um, Witchita on the way back. That's a nice feature.
4. "Kaeta, do you want a blueberry muffin?"
"I want Pooh Bear in muffin!"
Whatever Wednesday: March 19, 2008
Thanks again to the Wards for coming up with another one of our great ideas. They have "Five on Friday" on their blog, and the Ryans have "Seven on Sunday", so we decided to do "Whatever Wednesday." On Wednesdays, we'll post some things that have happened in the past week. Or we might forget. Whatever.
1. Kaeta is obsessed with Peter Pan.
For some reason, especially when she sits on the potty, she wants to talk about Captain Hook. She might mention that he has a big red hat, or that he has a hook for a hand. In this recording (made on Tuesday, 3/18), she wants to talk about Peter Pan. This quickly leads to an identity crisis, as you'll see.
2. Our friend Curt is funny.
Curt saw this picture on my Windows desktop (note Kaeta's grape juice stain):
His comment was, "Wow, Kaeta really is a little Lutheran -- she's already spilled wine all over her shirt."
3. We're totally addicted to Lost.
If you're wondering why our blog posting has slowed down recently, this is the reason. You can stream all the episodes from ABC's website. That kind of instant gratification only feeds our addiction... We just started Season 3, so NO SPOILERS, please :-)
4. There's a new photo gallery up.

5. We're going to Kansas this weekend.
Karianne's grandpa is turning
90! So we're making the big trip—our first long trip with Jonah. We're getting back into town next Wednesday. So there might not be a Whatever Wednesday next week, but, you know, whatever.
Brinnly Ward, Eat Your Heart Out!
Jonah is bummed that his favorite show, Friday Night Lights, isn't coming back after the writers' strike. (
***UPDATE*** It turns out the
Friday Night Lights IS coming back! See the comments for more info. Jonah is elated.) He is always asking about his football buddies, and his ultimate goal is to be QB1 of the Dillon Panthers, just like Matt Saracen. He's bulking up to go out for varsity this year, and we think he might have a chance! So we got him this Saracen jersey for Christmas, and he loves showing it off. But he does it all, of course, for his future bride,
Brinnly Ward.
Four Months
Jonah's new activities include playing in his saucer, laughing, and blowing bubbles (which is really one of the cutest things we've ever seen -- that's what he's doing in the third picture). He still doesn't enjoy tummy time very much (as you can see), but this morning he had rolled onto his tummy in his crib!
Indoctrinated?
Hah! I beat out
Kaethe Ward! It's been over four years since we moved away! Just so you know, before you're allowed to live in Pittsburgh, they make you sign a contract that you will be a lifelong Steelers fan. In blood. And they enforce it.
You are 75% Pittsburgh. Come on. I know you knew the right answers, but were ashamed and ascared to admit it. Do the quiz again, and this time be true to yourself.
