The Musings of a Space Nerd: February 2013
http://spacenerd.blogspot.com/2013_02_01_archive.html
See My Other Blogs: Family Histories 1. Tuesday, February 5, 2013. My brother-in-law noted that not one of his family members who keeps a blog has actually posted to their blogs since November of last year. Well, here's a post just to spite you, thou brother-in-law who has to point out my deficiencies! That to little babies? All we could think of was that it is tradition, and we dismissed the curiosity with the understanding that this is our last baby, so let it be. See Other Related Entries: adoption.

The Musings of a Space Nerd: First Camping Trip for the Foster Children
http://spacenerd.blogspot.com/2012/07/first-camping-trip-for-foster-children.html
See My Other Blogs: Family Histories 1. Friday, July 13, 2012. First Camping Trip for the Foster Children. We knew that his previous caretakers drank alcohol, but to have one as young as him internalize that all daddies do that - even though I have never once drank a beer and we have never once purchased such a thing - was kind of sad. That coupled with the fact that he was so well-schooled in all of the various types of fast food ("Wanna go Taco Bell? See Other Related Entries: adoption. The Hunger Game...

The Musings of a Space Nerd: March 2012
http://spacenerd.blogspot.com/2012_03_01_archive.html
See My Other Blogs: Family Histories 1. Friday, March 2, 2012. It Takes a Village. There's an old proverb that says that "it takes a whole village to raise a child." As it has been just over a week since we've had two foster children placed into our home, we have felt this proverb very keenly in our lives, and are filled with such gratitude that it is difficult to express. The agency with which we're working has all sorts of support groups available for people who are doing what we're doing, but we feel ...

See My Other Blogs: Family Histories 1. Thursday, September 12, 2013. Disaster . blessing! I am now, FINALLY, a father of five! My wife and I adopted our foster daughter a few weeks back and then last Saturday we took her to the temple to have her sealed to us for eternity! We tried for 2 years to get pregnant, only to have our happy pregnancy end in a horrible miscarriage. After that, we tried for 4 (! More years, with no success, secretly fearing that we were never going to have children again . th...

The Musings of a Space Nerd: The Measure of the Obama Presidency
http://spacenerd.blogspot.com/2008/11/measure-of-obama-presidency.html
See My Other Blogs: Family Histories 1. Wednesday, November 12, 2008. The Measure of the Obama Presidency. So it is with great interest that I intend to watch Barack Obama as he leads the country. I am worried that he will press every far-left liberal policy he's wanted to (but I think he'll be temperate), and I hope that Congress will act rationally at this time and appropriate keep him in check. It is truly the Democrats chance to shine . or to go down in flames. In making Americans safer, have any rig...

See My Other Blogs: Family Histories 1. Monday, August 6, 2012. Artifacts of a Major Event. Somehow I managed to weasel my way out of needing to be physically at work last night for the big Entry, Descent, and Landing (EDL) event of the Curiosity rover on Mars. I was able to stay home and watch the proceedings with my wife and children, who stayed up WAY past their bedtime to see the festivities. This first picture is the larger image and sets the context:. This next picture shows a zoomed in and slightl...

The Musings of a Space Nerd: The Story (So Far) of My Adopted Daughter
http://spacenerd.blogspot.com/2013/09/the-story-so-far-of-my-adopted-daughter.html
See My Other Blogs: Family Histories 1. Saturday, September 14, 2013. The Story (So Far) of My Adopted Daughter. I had a few free moments (not really sure how that happened), so I thought I'd write up the story of my adopted daughter. Eventually, she'll want to know this stuff, and it is important not to forget where we come from. Her story doesn't begin too well, but hopefully it can be said that it leads to a happy place. Her birth wasn't an easy one, as we estimate that she was born a full two months ...
